Title: Sturm Sturm Sturm!

Size: medium

Type: assault operation

Date: circa October 1944

Weather: mixed

Ground: damp

Length: 3 battles- 15 turns per- night falls on the 2nd battle.

From the U.S. War Department's 'Handbook on German Military Forces' dated 15 March 1945:

"When it is necessary to make a direct assault (while attacking a town or village), the Germans concentrate all available heavy weapons, including artillery and air units, on one target. They favor as targets for their massed fire the forward edges of the community, especially detached groups of buildings and isolated houses. During the fire concentration the infantry assembles and attacks the objective immediately upon termination of the artillery fire. Tanks and assault guns accompany the infantry, and with their fire immobilize any new enemy forces which may appear..."

"...The immediate objective of the Germans is to divide the area occupied by the enemy. These areas are then isolated into as many smaller areas as possible, in order to deny the enemy freedom of movement."

This is the first of four fictional operations I have planned to allow a player to practice his assault skills in a variety of settings with near text-book force compositions. Download it at the Scenario Depot and scribble out a review!
