Franko Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 My uber-armor scenario, August Bank Holiday has been updated due to CM 1.1 and sent to CMHQ, where it should be available shortly. I also enhanced the map due to recent receipt of better topographical data! Here's the description! AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY (Version 2, for CM 1.1) August 8th, 1944 South of Caen, near Saint-Aignan de Cramesnil Weather/Time: CLEAR DAY Turns 60 (one hour) Scenario Author: Frank M. Radoslovich (Frankrad@pacbell.net) In July 1944 three British Armored Divisions had been thrown against the German defences south of Caen. Called "Operation Goodwood", this attack only penetrated about half way up the Bourguesbus Ridge before it was thrown back by deadly long range fire. Four hundred British tanks were lost. On August 7, the Canadian army sent armoured columns in a bizarre yet clever night march, right through the stunned German defenders. At dawn, these units, which included British elements, were three miles behind German lines. They waited for further Armor units, particularly the Poles, to come up and relieve them and carry the advance forward to Falaise. The 12th SS Panzer Division had other plans. They also had Michael Wittman. Research Sources: Reynolds, Michael. STEEL INFERNO: 1st SS Panzer Corps in Normandy, Dell Publishing, 1997 Simpson, Gary L.

I have updated for 1.1 of CM, and I have made some topographical tweaks based on new mapping data. Email with any comments! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
