ropey Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hi I've developed a scenario based on the Cavendish Rd attack on the 19th March. (This attack was a armoured assault up behind the Monastery.) It has had one playtest, but some more would be nice. Any takers? Please email me directly and I'll send it through. (Rowep@xtra.co.nz) PS. The same map can be used for the Polish attacks if anyone is interested in helping me develop it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hensworth Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Never mind, managed to miss the request to do it by mail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Bonz Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Nice to scale map ropey. Looks very steep even for the most fit of virtual fighters. Will give it a go and report back to you. From the looks of things I can see why this was such a long and costly slog up to the Monastery. Thanks for Cassino Scenario work. "Never leave your mind so open your brains fall out." No problem. Just pick it up and dust it off. Things may look a little different but it is not just a brain ... it is an adventure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropey Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi I've had some feedback and tweaked the scenario a little - more tweaks to come after playtests have finished. Anyone else want to give it a go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfedoroff Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I can PBEM if anyone cares to try it, and needs an opponent. I have no prefs on side, and can ususally do a turn a day. Sincerely, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfedoroff Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi Perry, Thanks for sending me the scenario file. Now I just need an opponent. Anybody care to boost their ego by thrashing the crash test dummy? I can whine with the best of them. Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caffino Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 kenfedoroff, I will take you up on your offer. I should be good for a turn or so a day. Email sent. Kirk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfedoroff Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi Kirk, You want the Allies... so I will set-up the Axis and send you a start-turn, either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropey Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 By the way, here are some shots of the area in 2004. I was more than a little concerned about our guide handling this baby. Looking back the way the Allies advanced A Polish Sherman, often mistakenly described as Kiwi, disabled at the top of the Gorge. Looking up the route of advance toward the Gorge. Allied start point. Toward Caira. (Off north of game map) Allied start point. The engineers' work is still in remarkably good condition after 60 years. Route of advance for most of the Indian attacks and some later Polish attacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropey Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 And some more... HQ of 4th Para Regt. German fortifications under Pt 569. Looking South. Monastery is on top left. In front of Massa Albaneta. Massa Albaneta from Pt 593. Panorama from Massa Albaneta toward Pt 575. Another panorama looking from Pt 593 over Massa Albaneta toward Pt 575. Pt 569 from Pt 593. I invite you to compare shots with game map. Remember that none of this foliage was there during the war.

Were the trees just not growing there at that time, or had they been leveled by all the bombing, shelling, etc.? Just curious. Nice pics. Thanks for posting.

ropey Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 There wasn't a lot of foliage to start with but most of it was cut away to create fire zones or destroyed by shelling/bombing. I will add some more scattered trees to my map, but not too many. There should also be bomb craters toward the monastery but I can't see how to add them. The area is now a preserved area - it is fenced and the gate is locked. The foliage is nearly entirely post-war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
