Abbott Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Two new scenarios available at The Depot Enjoy! ______________________________ Title: Breakout, 10th. SS Type: Axis attack. (Reconnaissance in force). Date: April 1944. Region: South Weather: Dry, cool. Terrain: Forest, hills. Wind: Breeze, SW. Turns: 45+ Author: Abbott April 1944 and the Russian’s have been advancing all along the front. Despite Hitler’s “stand fast,” order General Manstein has ordered the First Panzer Army to breakout of its encirclement near Buchach in the western Ukraine. Caught off-guard by this move general Zhukov hurriedly rushed 5th. Tank Army’s leading units to stop them. Semi-historical. Approximately 3,000 points. Playing recommendations: Two-player. Extreme fog of war. One-player. Axis attacks verse the AI. Extreme fog of war. Very important ****Computer free to place units**** **Reconnaissance in force. A well-led advance will need to be conducted here. Elements of the 10th Frundsberg SS division deploying from the route march formation into the attack. 45 turns, variable allows for some caution but do not tarry to long, as there are two widely spaced victory locations to take and hold. Enough forested hills to offer many avenues of approach. __ _________________________________ Title: Destination, Lodz Type: Russian attack Date: January 1945 Location: Lodz, Poland Region: North Weather: Light snow, overcast, cold Terrain: Town, farmland, forest Wind: Breeze, WSW Turns: 30+ Author: Abbott Approximately 1,800 points. The German army has been steadily pushed from Russia. Desperate to stop the advancing Russians in the North, the Grossdeutschland division has been sent to shore up the defense. At dawn of a cold January day the Russians launch a strong mechanized attack from south and east of Lodz, in an effort to capture the town and its railroad facilities. As elements of the 2nd. Guards Tank Army approach Lodz… Grenadiers prepare to defend the themselves. **Destination, Lodz is designed to be an easy to play Russian attack while providing some tense and difficult moments for one or two players. Short approach marches on a tough defensive position, with reinforcements arriving for both players. Good quality Russian troops verse well to high quality German forces.

KG_Jag Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Thanks Abbott. Just so you know, XP can't read the contents of your files, but I'll probably be able to get them with my old and trust Windows 98 machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hmm..I created them on a machine running XP Home. If someone else posts with the same I will re-send them to Admiral Keith without zipping them first, maybe that will solve the problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Keth Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 jagcommander, Are you saying that the files cannot be unzipped or that CMBB cannot load the scenario? I'm using a registered version of Winzip 8.1 to zip the files, and I've successfully unzipped them. I've opened the files in an ASCII editor and they appear similar in structure to other CMBB files. I'm at work at the moment so I am unable to test load the files...anyone else out there experiencing similar issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I do not have Winzip. When I try to open the files in XP on my Dell 8200 the file appers to be empty. However, when I copy the file to a disk and put it on my Dell P II 350 running Windows 98 with NetZip, I can read the contents of the folder and unzip the battle or operation. All such battles and operations are then readable in XP and on my XP machine running CMBO and CMBB. I find that I have to do this on 5% to 10% of the scenarios offered at the depot. It worked again this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I have played Lodz as the Germans against the AI,it was very easy(I know) But the battle itself was well made. I liked the map too. I have just started breakout 10thSS in PBEM and I will probabaly do the same with Lodz. I will post a review once I finished them.
