jbertles Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Bastognette, a 1/3 size variation on the siege of Bastogne, has just been posted on the Scenario Depot (thanks and a tip o' the helmet to Admiral Keth). Working from aerial recon photos, official 101st Airborne maps and the contemporary paintings of Tech Sgt Olin Dows, Bastognette is an attempt to capture the atmosphere of the fields around Bastogne. Best played as PBEM, with Axis vs. AI playing pretty well throughout the playtesting process. Thanks to Richie and CombinedArms for playtesting, as well as to Forum members for help with US TD info. Note that your download may show up as "Click.php". Just open it with any Unzip utility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Absolutely beautiful map - No wonder everyone is clamouring for winterised German AFVs to match 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I would highly recommend this as a great reconstruction of the Battle for Bastogne. Gripping from start to finish. John has done a wonderful job here! Richie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'm just getting started on my playtest with the author but can attest that it's a great map and I anticipate a gripping battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbertles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Richie also has a Bulge scenario out in limited previews. See the other Bulge thread for details. It's got a really huge, obsessively detailed map. Great stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
