Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 I'm almost finished my Carpiquet operation. It is based upon actual street layouts of the small town. Although I've changed things around for better play this should add up to a good Canadian butt whippin'. (Although the games' AI doesn't follow the history books) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifle Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Better do it right ... My old man was an arty observer for the Cdn 12th Field Arty Reg (in Priests at the time) and got a Croix de Guerre from the French for his actions during this battle. Cheers, Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 8, 2000 Author Share Posted December 8, 2000 The town will contain the handfull of hitlerjugend that the fighting force consisted of. The Canadians will not have the same amount as history dictated, this will allow for faster gameplay. I hate waiting for the turn to load. I can also throw into the mix my own SS uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirocco Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Good to see a Canadian scenario, especially one based on Carpiquet. Does it extend to to cover the airfield and the bunkers, too..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 11, 2000 Author Share Posted December 11, 2000 Since its hard to model certain items in CM I have done my best. The airport isn't too scale because airports are kilometres in length. Anyways it gonna a great challenge for both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grunto Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Say where did you get the Carpiquet photo? Could you also find them for Norrey-Putot-Bretteville and Cheux? I started a "Carpiquet Field" battle but without the maps, put that one on the back burner. I will have to check yours out. For those looking for another Canadian scenario, I've got a battle representing the fighting for the Caen-Bayeux Road (Norrey-Putot-Bretteville). It starts out with a 12th SS attack on 'Putot,' and finishes with a commonwealth counterattack. At the start the Winnipeg Rifles (A-C Companies) are in 'Putot.' The 25th Panzer-Grenadier Regiment, 2nd Batallion must cross large wheatfields under covering fire, then somehow get over a railway embankment, and into 'Putot' which sits between the rail line and the highway. The German vehicles must cross underneath a rail tressle to get into the town. It is a tough attack against the computer opponent at +3 experience. Also, I have the 12th SS and 21st Panzer attacking the 15th Scots at 'Cheux.' If anyone is interested in these scenarios, drop me a line and I'll send them off. andyt@pacifier.com There was an attack by the Germans on Bretteville at night. That would be an interesting one to reproduce; 22 Panthers with virtually no infantry support fighting in a town against the Regina Rifles.

Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 14, 2000 Author Share Posted December 14, 2000 Grunto There is a small close combat website that hasn't been updated for years. I forget the URL but it had aerial photographs of the southern hangers. They look pretty messed up from the battle. The scenario is coming along. It will be four battles in length starting right at "Route Nationale 13 (by the railroad tracks). Again I don't know the URL but I found actual street maps of Carpiquet town so I modeled the town after those maps. They could be wrong because these were probably newer maps but.....who cares. I also have pictures at home of the troops waiting around between attacks. Its mostly huge flat fields of tall grass. (I wish this was modeled in CM) Anyways the battle takes you through the town into some fields and leads into a dirrect route into the airfield. I always play as the germans because it seems more of a challenge. Sending small squads to plug holes is my kind of game. You were inquiring about a Buron battle. Go find the french CM site and download the scenario titled "Ein Werferspiel". They did a great job it. Keep looking out for my mods. It'll be awhile because my girlfriends back from Toronto so I don't have as much free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
