New Scenario "Debut of the Jadgtiger"

[Keith]

I posted the scenario on the scenario depot of The Gamer's Net website. Special thanks to Terry Flemming, Bill Valencia, and Bob Crane for their help testing and valuable feedback. Here is the scenario intro briefing:

"On the crisp, clear night of New Years Eve, 1945, with moonlight reflecting off of newly fallen snow, the German Army launched it last major offensive in the West: Operation Nordwind. The objective of operation Nordwind was to break through the Low Vosges Mountains to the Alsatian Plain and relieve the 19th Army in the Colmar Pocket. Unfortunately for the German high command the U.S. Seventh Army was fully aware of the possibility of an attack through aerial photoreconnaissance, ULTRA intercepts, and prisoner interrogations."

"The objective of the newly rebuilt 37th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment of the 17th SS-Panzer Grenadier Division "Götz von Berlichingen" was to smash the infantrymen of the American 3rd Battalion, 397th Infantry Regiment, 100th Infantry Division, which were holding the town of Rimling. Just before midnight on December 31st waves of SS storm troopers clad in white snowsuits, running upright, surged toward the American lines, yelling curses in broken English and German, howling and screaming. The first assaulting SS troops ran directly into American minefields, barbed wire, and small arms fire. The 397th Infantry refused to be pushed out of the village of Rimling, where it blunted the attack of the 17th SS Panzer-Grenadiers and was instrumental in foiling the Germans' attempts to break through. During the first week of 1945 the Germans committed dozens of Strumgeschütze, Panthers, the new super heavy Jadgtigers, and flame throwing Hetzers in support of repeated attacks by the 17th SS but failed to eliminate the "Rimling Salient" and achieve a decisive penetration. In recognition of their extraordinary accomplishment, the 3d Battalion, 397th Infantry Regiment was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for their heroic defense of Rimling."

I can tell you, as one of the testers, that this scenario makes an excellent double blind game for either TCP/IP or PBEM.

Well done sir! Keep up the good work.

I realy enjoyed testing this one as well. I have played it from both sides and found it equaly enjoyable. My only regret is that I can never play it as a blind PBEM or TCP!
