Richie Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hi guys, You can find my Op, Peiper's Bridge out now at The Scenario Depot. 3 battles, 15+ turns a piece, fought over the muddy fields of Belgium. On the 19th December 1944, U.S. Paras of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division assaulted toward Boutet's farm east of Chenuex. The result was carnage. The German defenders from Kampfgruppe Peiper had heavily fortified themselves in the buildings in and around the village. Peiper's troops were determined to maintain their bridgehead over the Ambleve at Cheneux. Come nightfall, with fresh troops and the promise of artillery support Colonel Reuben Tucker ordered a new assault! Good luck at the front!

kipanderson Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Richie, hi, I will look forward to giving it a go. First I intend to dig up and install all available North West Europe/Ardennes type winter mods for CMAK. It would be a shame to play such a game with everything looking like Tuscany Thanks, All the best, Kip. PS, I was there, for real, three weeks ago for the 60th. The weather was the same as December 44 too. In CM terms, light snow and between +2C and -2C. Sherman tanks rolling down Bastogne High Street do look very good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbertles Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I'm in the middle of playing this one with Richie, and it's been both a lot of fun and a serious challenge. You are going to love the incredibly detailed, possibly obsessive map. Also, the sheer size of the map forces you to think in terms of large-scale terrain-based strategies - something that you seldom get to do in CM. Git it while the gittin's good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Love to but it doesn’t seem to be a “Mac Friendly” site. Can’t download it using either Internet Explorer or Safari (clicking on the link only results in a page of code). I’ve also tried right clicking but to no effect. I suspect its because the “download” button isn’t a direct link to the file but to an intermediate location. Any chance you could email it to me?

Richie Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 If you have problems, fell free to email me directly and I'll email it to you. Yes you may need to rename the file. I started out on an Imac so I have some (limited) experience myself. Richie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They abandoned the town and the bridge as their losses became extreme and reduced their cordon to La Gleize, but not before exacting a very heavy toll on the Para's of the 82nd Airborne, who made repeated but unsuccessful attempts to take the bridge up until that point. The ferocity of their assaults is a determining factor on the severe casualties sustained by the Germans, and part of the reason the Bridge at Cheneux was abandoned.
