Franko Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 I have submitted yet another new scenario to CombatHQ. Its big, bloody, and historical. Its the terrible armored engagement near St. Aignan de Cramesnil, between 1st Northants, 1st Black Watch, 24th Polish Lancers and the 12th SS Panzer Division. Here's the scenario briefing..ENJOY! Let me know if any of you guys play this by PBEM. AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY 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.

Kingfish Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 I must be a fool because I decided to try it out with my dinky P2-233. Only up to turn 5 so far, but I'm still at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SS Peiper Posted November 18, 2000 Share Posted November 18, 2000 Franko I'm up to turn 35 in AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY and I got to tell you what great fun it is. I'm on turn 35 and I still dont know if I'm going to win the battle (I'm playing as the Germans). The Poles are coming up now just when I about clean up the town of some small pockets of Canadians. GREAT Fun!!! SS Peiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
