De Savage Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Looking for volunteers to play test and briefing grammar check. Simple, short scenario "Mouse trap". About 25 minutes. Small (few platoons) US airborne troops dropped to marshland near river Douve on D-Day. Germans are firing with machine guns and mortars. Get to dry land and secure river bank. Here's briefing: SITUATION 0250 June 6st, 1944. On river Douve, Normandy. This is it. D-Day. US 82nd and 101st Airborne division will be dropped behind Utah and Omaha beaches and will provide flank cover and secure vital bridges and towns. Because of low clouds and surprising heavy anti-air fire many transport planes missed their jump zone by miles. German had flooded part of the lowlands near river Douve. From the air this looked like "low marsland" but in reality it was 1-2 meters deep water. MISSION First priority is to survive. We have to get off from marshland. During the drop we saw enemy machinegun fire coming from near the forest. Better silence those machineguns before more men dies in these marshes. FRIENDLY FORCES Our forces are scattered. Most of the heavy weaponds (machine guns and mortars) was lost in the marsh. We have only light forces. Hopefully more forces will arrive later. ENEMY FORCES Little is known of the enemy. Probably we are near river Douve, so enemy is probably from 91st Luftlande Division. We have received machine gun and mortar fire. Prepare for everything. PLAN Move fast to dry land. Recon enemy positions and clear enemy strongpoints. If possible flank the enemy and stop them from retreating. NOTE Don't be surprised if some enemy decide to withdraw. They are too confused by the situation.

Rambler Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Here's a cleaned up briefing with some edits: SITUATION 6 June 1944 0250 hrs Douve River, Normandy This is it; D-Day. The 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions will drop behind Utah and Omaha beaches, provide flank cover, and secure vital bridges and towns. Because of low clouds and surprisingly heavy anti-aircraft fire, many transport planes have missed their jump zones by miles. The Germans have also flooded part of the lowlands near the Douve River. This looks like "low marshland" from the air, but in reality the water is 1-2 meters deep. MISSION Your first priority is to survive. We have to get out of the marshland as quickly as possible. During the drop, we saw enemy machine gun fire coming from the nearby forest. We need to silence those machine guns before more men die in these marshes. FRIENDLY FORCES Our forces are scattered all over. Most of our heavy weapons (machine guns and mortars) were lost in the marshes, and all we have left are light forces. Hopefully reinforcements will arrive soon. ENEMY FORCES Little is known about current enemy strength in this sector. We are near the Douve River, so last reports indicate the 91st Luftlande Division is in the area. Prepare for anything. PLAN - Move fast to dry land. - Recon enemy positions and clear enemy strong points. - Flank the enemy and stop them from retreating if possible. NOTE Don't be surprised if some of the enemy withdraws. They are too confused by the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Savage Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Many thanks Rambler! Scenario briefing updated. Added few pictures for allied briefing. BTW, changed river to "Merderet". That's more accurate than Douve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You're welcome De Savage. Started playing through the mission but haven't been able to finish it yet. I'll post some feedback when I do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
