Steve Clark Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 Here's what I've done so far. I looked at a majority of the scenarios from the CD and I went through the scenario search at CMHQ. I didn't find anything obvious so I thought I would pose the question here. I am looking for a historical (or quasi-historical) scenario, medium length (20-30 turns), in a hilly/valley terrain (not winter) where the mission is more attacking (e.g., capturing a hill or taking out a bridge). I know I can produce this in QB but I would rather have some historical context. Does such a scenario exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maastrictian Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 A search for "review" should net you some reviews of scenarios. Off the top of my head, I would sugest Veghel Town (Allied Attacker) or Scinjel (spelling???) Road (Axis Attacker). ...Road to Marselle and Paderhorn (both in the combathq scenario section, not the scenario depot) are also excellent. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePrivate Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 Another suggestion is to play L'Elle river crossing as the US attacker. It is an all infantry action scenario with about two companies worth of troops, medium size. There is a river, bridge, woods, hills and lots of attacking. Moon did a great job with this one and you (as the US) will need your wits about you to reach your objectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rommel22 Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 You can try one of my scnerios, where as the Americans you have to capture an airfield or a trainyard. I got very good reviews on those two. They are called "Trainyard" "Airfield" try those. ------------------ From the Das Reich book as said by a German soldier "when the Russians reached us, we opened fire, the first wave had no weapons. The second wave didn't either (fire fodder). The 3rd and 4th had weapons and opened fire on us. By this time we were low on ammo, but we drove them back."

GonzoAttacker Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 "These Hills are Alive" Huertgen Forsest.. "Attack on German Winter Line" Rain and Mud in both...no snow...Based on tatctics used at that time.

Steve Clark Posted September 7, 2000 Author Share Posted September 7, 2000 I downloaded and took a look at all of these suggestions and some of them are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 Both Wiltz and Son are scenarios that fit the description of what you are looking for. These qualify except that they are a little smaller than medium. Also keep a watchful eye for "The Wrong Hill" which may be just your cup of tea (or coffee, your choice ) ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Clark Posted September 7, 2000 Author Share Posted September 7, 2000 Thank you Wild, I will look at those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAuliffe Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 If your looking for historical context and accurate map design (on basis of topo-maps), please take a look at my page. All battles are related to the bulge and include some fine hills and bridges to fight about. ------------------ http://users.pandora.be/aneric/index8.htm#Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Man Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 My Scenario "Take the High Ground" is fun as both sides,it's at the scenario depot.It involves Armor and Infantry,Company Sized forces and a hill that both forces must try to take.

Hundminen Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 Why don't you try "3 bridges" which I posted to the scenario depot this week. I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on this one. "3 bridges" is fictional, but it is inspired from by reading non-fictional accounts of GI company attacks (most recently Company Commander). More importantly, I designed it to give both attacker and defender several completely different options for set up and strategy. By the way, QB's won't generate maps with rivers and bridges. Try this one - it has 3 river crossings along deep river valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Johnson-<THC>- Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hill 505. And take any of these scenarios, and make them harder by adding diffrent stuff. I have turned so many battles into giant slugfests that tax my computer to the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
