New Operation. "Northeim" The 3rd AD's only SuperPershing finally sees action.


Recommended Posts

Title: Northheim

Type: Advance, Allied attack

Date: April 5, 1945

Location: Germany, in and around Northheim

Weather: Clear

Length: 6 Battles: 20 turns each

As the 3rd Armored Division approached the Harz mountains it had become stretched out,as was typical of such operations. As it bypassed pockets of resistance, gaps would occur in the lines. Whenever this happened, the Germans would attempt to block the main roads again by infiltrating across the advancing columns, and setup strong defensive positions in the hopes of upsetting the Allied time and supply lines.

Combat Command Bravo (CCB) of the 3rd Armored, after a considerable firefight, had managed to build a bridgehead across the Weser river. They managed to make multiple crossings and advanced rapidly eastward towards Northheim.

It was on this strech between the Weser river and Northheim that the 3rd Armored Divisions only Super T26 Pershing finally saw action. Some of the German units that had fallen back from CCB's bridgehead managed to setup a few isolated strongpoints along CCB's route.

**NOTE**

This operation should be played from the Allied perspective first. The weather has been set to clear, but if you get fog, please restart until you get clear weather for maximum enjoyment. Please set the units to "default setup".
