Mr.X Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey everybody, at the moment I am creating a German Campaign about the fighting of a company of the Panzerlehr-Division on 11th July 1944. This campaign includes 6-8 battles. Within the next 7 days I´m going to complete two, may be three of the battles. Before I take them into the campaign, I´d like to have them tested by some (I hope so) very critical volunteers. Some more Info for testers, who are interested: - The player commands the 7th Company of II.Btl./Panzergrenadier-Lehr-Reg.901 and supporting units. - The campaign shows the fighting on 11th July 1944 from ca. 5am till ca. 19pm - I have tried to make the campaign as historical correct as possible. This means, it will probably be quite hard to play - so, it is nothing for guys who like hollywood fights - The fighting will take place in a landscape full of bocage and small creeks, all in all very confusing. So, if anybody is interested in testing, my E-mail is: f-s-zbg@web.de Regards Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blow56 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Interestingly, I am just playtesting a campaign about 1/901 and associated Lehr elements counterattacking in the same period (Lehr In Action). It has about 7 battles so far and, if everything goes to plan, you get to assault back across the Taute-Vire Canal - before having to withdraw. Originally, the support Pz unit I had (130) had 12 Pz Vs (I had an account of these) but that proved far too strong, so I went back to Pz IVs. The fighting covers July 10-12, with the crucial part on the 11th. As you say - bocage and limited fields of advance means failure to achieve your objectives is punished. Interesting to get your take on it - I will happily playtest for you. Rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Just please do NOT post this to the Repository until it has been thoroughly tested by volunteers. And if you do produce several versions be sure to number them so we know which is the latest, greatest version. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.X Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey Erwin, don´t worry the whole campaign will be tested AND I promise to you, there will be only ONE version of it. Regards Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.X Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Oh sorry Rob I am stupid - have overlooked your post... :confused: That´s very interesting, we create the action of units, which fight in sectors, that are separated only by a few kilometers. Of course I am very interested in your project. Unfortunately my time is quite limited and reaches barely to finish my own one some day. But you say you have playtesters ? If not, I´ll do my best to help. Regards Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastamon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 As a tester of Frank's campaign I think you will be impressed by the amount of effort he's put into this. Maps are fantastic and certainly challenging. Just make sure that your chinstrap is tight and you are ready for anything when you press that first red button. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Dran, drauf und dürch! Delighted to have another German campaign and on one of my favorite divisions, Panzer Lehr. Thank you, Frank! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokko Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Now that I'm all set up again be sure I'm going to play through this beauty. I'm sure it turned out to be awesome. At all: I can only advise you to download this. It has some of the best looking maps for CMBN I've seen so far. regards, Oliver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdogg Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just finished this campaign, it was pretty fun. Got a major victory on veteran. The battles played out pretty well. .....Spoilers..... I only had problems with the counterattack battle with all INF and 2 HTs. The mortars were hell, I crossed the river and just ceased fire to save casualties in a futile battle. I would maybe extend the map in the setup zone, kind of sitting ducks for mortars from the start. Nice AT gun trap at the church in the second to last battle, would have bagged my only tank, but for some reason I chose to avoid the road and blast through the compound wall with HE. I then assaulted throught the breach with my panther and a pzgr platoon, totally surprising the AT gun and taking the church with out a casualty. This then allowed me to build up at the church to cross the river and win the battle. The rescue KG Philips battle was interesting, I blasted an alternate path for them with engi to avoid the road which would have been a blood bath. I left all my pzgr mounted in HTs ready for counter attack and staged on the road behind the farms. The US Inf that attacked in the rear attempting to surround me got massacred by the grenadiers and HTs. This was just luck on my part that I was in the right place at the right time. I held the farms with just 4 panthers and 2 FO pouring down Arty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
