Battlefront Repository Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 12th SS Panzer "Hitlerjugend" division task is to assault US sector. Kampfgruppe Krause (reinforced company) has to cross small stream, recon in force and seize (touch) several objectives on road to Caen-Argentan railroad. Prepare yourself for bocage fighting, narrow sunken Normandy-roads, poor intel and intense fighting.1.1 - fixed grammar on briefing and designer's nore. Made some changes to forces and AI.

De Savage Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Mission briefing (part of): 0705 31st July, 1944. Between Argentan and Caen, Normandy. The Allies have pushed our forces back for several weeks. We are laying ambushes and delaying the enemy, but allied control of the skies limits our operations. The odds are stacked against us ... Last night 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" was deployed to a new quiet sector. The division have strict orders to maintain radio silence, and move only by night to conceal its location and maintain the element of surprise. Early morning light rain and fog will help us even further. It's time to attack before the ground gets too wet. By attacking here our superiors think 12th SS can tie down several enemy divisions and ease the pressure in other sectors. Weather is light fog and rain. Medium wind from North-West. Ground is getting wet. Mission: Recon in force and seize (touch) several objectives en route to the Caen-Argentan railroad. Destroy enemy forces when necessary. It is vital that you do not exceed 30-40% friendly casualties! Try to find alternative routes or advance rapidly to take additional (hidden) objectives. If possible seize the Chateau which is probably held by an infantry company HQ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Willett Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 My friend and I just finished playing this battle PBM H2H as Veterans and we found the battle highly favoring the Americans. Too hard to cross the bridge and the stream and survive for the Germans. No reinforcements for the Germans and only for the US. Briefing stated the Germans would get some but they never came. The US got reinforcements which by then they didn't need. Quickly decided battle for the US to win. Very unbalanced. Heavy artillery nice for Germans but that couldn't save the battle for the Germans. Nice looking map. We are experienced gamers of CMBN. Just want to give you feedback from our experience playing the battle. US just sat back and decimated advancing German vehicles early after that German INF were too worn by the time they crossed the creek. We were done by turn 36 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
