DEF BUNGIS Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Maybe a small-medium sized map with all city street fighting in down town Koln. Actually, I tried to make such a scenario already, but I have no historical data other than a quick overview of the desperate German volksturm. I also tried to do the map based on my actual visit to Cologne, but it was over 10 yeras ago and I just cant remember that much detail on the city. I can send you what I have and you can work with it or scrap it. Or you can just say "Hey DEF, you idiot, nobody wants to play a Cologne scenario." And I will go about my merry way ------------------ The counter-revolution, people smilling through their tears. Who can give them back their lives, and all those wasted years.

Firefly Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Also remember that, thanks to the RAF and USAF, most of Cologne was rubble in 1945. My father passed through in 1946 and recalled that the only thing standing was the shell of the cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 323rd Bomb Group took heavier losses than were necessary because they planed their bomb run so the did not hit the cathedral. In doing so the bomb run took them over the heaviest concentration of FLAK which were on barges on the Rhine River. I got to visit Kohln and saw the Cathedral, I am glad that it was spared the ravages of war, it is an historical treasure. gp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hey Def! Yes, I'd be happy to look at what you have there and also go to some reference works and see what I can find. The spelling is KOLN, which is the German name for Cologne? I want to be sure I'm looking for the right town or city. You can click above and get my e-mail address. Send it on. We might just get a good one out of this. OR, send me what you have done if you wish to continue and I'll see if I can help you with it a bit.

DEF BUNGIS Posted February 1, 2001 Author Share Posted February 1, 2001 Wonderfull. I will forward the map to Moon and Wild Bill. If you guy's promise not to make fun of it behind my back. I came to the conclusion that I don't want to be in the scenario making buisness, which is alot harder than I thought. I Just dont have the resources for the accuracy I desire. Wild Bill, if you look at a German made map, the spelling is KOLN, with those funny two dots over the O. If you look at an American made map of Germany it is spelled Cologne. I think most of the city was destroyed when the ground troops moved thru. But I know there was some serious door to door fighting with fanatical Volksturm units controlling the city. So Maybe half historical and half fiction maybe a more fun scenario to play. ------------------ The counter-revolution, people smilling through their tears.

Firefly Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 Wild Bill, To be really picky the correct spelling would be Koeln, using the 'e' to simulate the missing umlaut. Gosh Mr. Colvin, my German teacher woud be proud of me for remembering that .

I never knew that was the proper way to simulate that. [This message has been edited by DEF BUNGIS (edited 02-01-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wwb_99 Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 And in a historical side note, if you looked at a Roman map, Koln would be Colonia Agrippa.
