Franko Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I have completed a New Operation for the CM Community. It is smaller and more "playable" than past operations, but nevertheless should be quite challenging, especially if you like infantry battles. Its historical (of course). I will gladly email anyone a copy. However, I would appreciate it if someone can host it. Here's the briefing: THIS IS IT January 16-17, 1945 OPERATION ADVANCE -- Four Battles, 25 turns each Night falls on the second battle. Ground Condition: Light Snow Weather: Bad The Ardennes Offensive has passed its peak and the opposing armies have locked themselves in an icy grip along the freezing Bulge salient. The Americans are seeking to recapture lost ground, while the Germans seek to retain the gains for which they have fought and recapture the momentum of their offensive. In this Operation, elements of the 2nd Infantry Division seek to open the Ondenval-Iveldingen Pass to enable the advance of the 7th Armored Division to St. Vith. In their way stand heavily armed and well-equiped German infantry. All historical figures are marked with an asterisk (*). One historical figure, Charles B. MacDonald, commanded Item Company. He writes that before the battle "my inexperience [at attacking] made me afraid. The old phrase 'This is it,' ran through my mind again and again." This battle is best played, and meant to be played, as the American player, with fog of war turned on. There is no German briefing. Also, set the German player to default set-up (the first time you play). Historical Sources: MacDonald, Charles B. Company Commander MacDonald, Charles B. A Time For Trumpets: The Untold Story of the Battle of the Bulge Pallud, Jean Paul. The Battle of the Bulge, Then and Now.

Otto Mekanik Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Sounds fun, I'd like to try. Anyone have this scenario hosted yet so we don't have to bother Franko? If not, here's my email: john@kivahouse.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop88 Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Dear Griffin: Still can't get to the file despite following your latest instructions. When I clicked on the zip file, I saw this response: "Angelfire does not allow direct linking from offsite, non-Angelfire pages, to files hosted on Angelfire. "This practice of 'remote linking' reduces our ability to serve out the homepages of our members quickly and efficiently." Any ideas on how to access the file? Thanks!

I'm on Internet Explorer. I will try later today using Netscape. Maybe it's a browser problem. Thanks for posting these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
