Biltong Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 You'll going to need a cool head - things just won't go your way with this one... This is my latest and best offering yet... Players who enjoyed my other playthings (Arsefire! / Rotten Hill etc) should love this one. You'll need a reasonable PC though - it's 'Huge'. But you'll get action from the first minute! and a fistfull of nasty surprises... Up Close & Personal Early April 1945 - Northern Ruhr. Hitler's actions were becoming more and more irrational. On the 12th he replaced Gen. Steeg with Gen. Flappe and ordered him to hold Raznik at all cost. Gen. Flappe rushed back to his HQ and shouted for his maps - he had no idea where Raznik was or why the hell it was important!... Raznik turned out to be a small industrial town in the Ravel valley. It did contain a mayor rail link between the Ruhr and Berlin, but lay too far to the North of Army Group Central's advance to have any significant influence... But he was not about to voice his opinion to the Fuhrer... On the 16th Gen. Bernardt from 13th Corp was informed of a steady influx of men and machines into Raznik. He suspected that Steeg might try a surprise flank attack (he wasn't aware that Steeg has been replaced) and promptly sent a Battalion (the 34th) and a goodly mix of armor to take control of the town and rail yard. On the night of the 17th the battle of Raznik started with a ferocity unknown in that quite sector... Two very experienced foes faced each other from the hills on opposite sides of the town... During the night both sides made a number of advances, were repulsed and advanced again... When morning came the battle lines were a mess... Whole companies were cut off behind enemy lines and the front line was anyone's guess! They were on top of each other - the fighting was intense.. very close and very personal!! This fictional scenario was designed with the single purpose to ensure immediate and continuous combat by two large and varied forces. Both sides will receive some reinforcements of men and mostly armor throughout the battle. The skied are clear and even the Axis will have some air support - so beware! Don't get caught in the open... Day Clear Damp Huge: 8000+ (Germans) & 9000+ (US) points 33 Turns 2 player only. Comments would be highly appreciated Johan 'Biltong' Brittz betrim@xsinet.co.za If anyone is interested - get it from CM Scenario Depot or if it has'nt been posted yet, mail me and I'll send it along. I would also love to test this further against someone else myself... mail me if you are willing & able (regular, vet or better) I'll compensate for my knowledege of your forces and try and play as an 'unaware' opponent and give you a fair game.
