US airborne expands the defensive perimeter around Carentan, the Germans want it back.
Two forces collide outside Carentan.
This is a fictional scenario in it's beta format that my good friend Spauldoten created and we played H2H today, it is a depiction of a clash between well armed German forces defending the fictional "mountain redoubt", forgive it's rough edges and lack of briefings. Reinforcements do arrive within ten turns to both sides. This battle lends to excellent gameplay, any feedback is appreciated..
This fictional battle is a delaying action against
German forces trying to withdraw Easttward shortly
after the Ardennes Offensive.

Captain Henderson’s men have been through some
heavy fighting already during the Battle of the
Bulge. They’re short on supplies and ammo and it’s
freezing cold.

They have just been given the order to hold out
as long as possible until aircover arrives.
Obviously, a “what if” scenario, I wanted to create an operation where the Germans were on the offensive and weren’t hindered by the destruction of their production, infrastructure and manpower. I tried to design a balanced and fun scenario with a wide variety of units (while keeping it realistic) and a large and interesting (approximately 6 km long x 2 km wide) map. The operation should see-saw back and forth and use up the entire map. All of the units portrayed on both sides were real units and I’ve tried to include a realistic TO&E for each one, including the supporting units. While the landmarks are real names, the map is fictional, but typical of western Pennsylvania terrain. This represents a Regiment (+) defense (although the defensive frontage and initial US setup is Battalion size.) The American player should be a veteran player who is adept at setting up an in-depth defensive position utilizing obstacles. I think that the defensive player has the greatest influence over his success or failure during the initial setup of his forces. For this reason the initial US setup is not completed for you. The units are grouped by unit, as if on parade (This will be in the final version - for playtesting, I've set up the defense in order to save time)

6 June, 1944, and the long awaited invasion has begun. The Allies have established a foothold on the beaches of Normandy and are advancing slowly inland. However, on June 7, 1944, history is going to be re-written. Field Marshall Goering kept his promise to re-equip the Luftwaffe in France. When the Allied air forces reached the coast of France, they were met by swarms of Germany's fighters. Instead of the Panzer Divisions being mauled by the Allied fighter-bombers, they met the Allied infantry divisions head-on and in full strength. This scenario pits Kampfgruppe Wunsche of the 12th SS HitlerJugend against the advancing Canadian Army.
CMBB
Pustynja is a German strong-point situated roughly 30Km NW of Demyansk which is almost fully encircled by Soviet forces. Only a log causeway through bog forests enables the Germans to supply the defenders at night.
There has been heavy fighting for the now erased hamlet since January 1942.
On Dec. 18 1942 the Soviets try again to seize the village in an concentric assault supported by tanks and heavy artillery. They will have to fight against an enemy inferior in number and equipment. But the Germans are well entrenched and possess an iron will to hold the ruins.
Alternative History : Moskow Decision
This the first of a series of fictional scenarios based on the hipotetic decision by Hitler to attack Moskow instead of Kiev during the august 1941.
The german offensive to Moskow is starting, the first task is to take the bridge over the Dnjepr between Smolensk and Viazma.

6th Pz Div attacks again after its failure to take Meilkhovo at 2pm but this time it is backed up by more infantry and Tiger tanks. But the Germans must move on deeper into the defences and capture the next village before dark. Can they do this and will the Russians bring up reserves?
Scenario; "Metro city Mayhem'
Location: Metro City, Imperial Stewartania
Date: July 1943
Time : Mid-Day, Overcast, Cool, Dry

Note: This scenario is a strictly for entertainment and perhaps some good tactical training in fighting in built up areas. It is NOT historical by any stretch, nor was it intended to be, but it is a tremendously fast paced, challenging scenario.

Sit-Rep: Metro City, is known throughout Europe for its outstanding historical sites, and it pristine streetscape. The queen Martha of the house of Stewart had the League of Nations designate it a "Cultural Heritage Wonder". As such, all combatants have agreed to forego using any track laying AFV when fighting in this little piece of heaven. Also, all empty casings will have to be picked up following the battle.

As such, as the forces of the Reich and its allies are in a race with the Red Army to seize this metropolis, so that their respective Ruling Party Upper Echelon will have a nice place to visit when the war is over. With that goal on the line, there will be no quarter given!

A german force must seize the bridges in the city of Katomsk in order to establish a bridgehead across the river Niehr (fictional)

Note: This is a new - very different - single battle version of my earlier operation named "City Salient". The map, however, is exactly the same.
Meant to be used with my Stalingrad-ish mods.
In Early 1942 Stalin had ramped up his efforts to produce a atmoic weapon. Knowing that Germany and his allies had a head start he had a staff of scientists working on the project way to the east in Mongolia. One of the sources for atomic power is 'Heavy Water'. The russians had one plant that was setup to produce the heavy water at this time. The plants location was in Northern Russia near the Finnish boarder in a town named Bupma.

The German became aware of the Heavy Water production plant and dispatched a plan to aquire it for their own use. This is that battle

This is historically accurate operation (4 battles), that depicts finnish delaying actions during soviet advance in summer of 1944. The game is pure infantry actions in heavy wooded terrain of Karelia.

Setting is the Crimea, neck of the Kerch peninsula during the Soviet's spring offensive. A hill overlooks both side's trench line. After an extensive bombardment, another assault has been ordered. Organize your men and move out.

This scenario depends on a "Soldier's Luck" and skill in handling an infantry company. Will the enemy's last shells land in your trenches and wipe out half your force? Or will that exceptional platoon lieutenant be the only casualty? Will your heavy weapons squad arrive in time to turn the battle? Should you send all your men forward or hold some back? Rest and regroup your platoons or send them in at once? Will you reach the hill faster than your opponent?

This scenario was in round one of the Masters Tournament, Fall 2008. Mirror forces but with random reinforcements.
Romanian 1st Armoured Divsion attack on Russians who are holding vital river crossing points. There is a special victory condition for the Romanian side to try to spice things up a bit. The map is accurate, and the elements of both forces should be consistant with history. This is primarily a light armour and infantry battle.

This CMBO map is built from a topographical map of the little town of Seville, NE of Melbourne, Australia. My idea was to lauch a Brit brigade (3 btns) across it at a German static defence screening mobile reserves.
Desiliens is an ancient Roman town. The map features the ruins of the town, an aquaduct, and the ruins of a villa on a low central hill.

The eastern side of the map is mostly woods, the west is hills and farms. It is most suitable for an assault on the town, but if the focus is shifted to the ruined villa it would be good for a meeting engagement.

United States 3rd Armored Division
by Steve "Mad Russian" Overton

The 3rd Armored Division was one of the two "heavy" armored divisions in the US Army. Being one of "heavy" armored divisions, meant that they were under an old table of organization and, possessed three regiments instead of two, 232 Medium tanks instead of the 168 allotted a light armored division, and with attached units numbered over 16,000 men, instead of the normal 12,000, now found in the lighter armored divisions.

The 3rd Armored Division led attacks so often, that they earned the nickname, "Spearhead".

The 3rd Armored Division set many records during the war:
* The first Allied unit to fire Artillery into Germany.
* The first Allied unit to cross the German border.
* The first ground invasion of Germany since Napoleon in 1810.
* The first Allied unit to capture a German town.
* The first Allied unit to breach the Seigfried Line.
* The first Allied unit to shot down a German plane from German soil.
* The first Allied unit to capture a major German city.
* The longest single day advance in the war by any unit of any nation. This was for a single day advance, of 101 miles, through central Germany on, 29 March 1945.

The division's major accomplishments include:
* taking part in Operation Cobra during the breakout.
* helping to stop the German counterattack at Mortain.
* defeating a German corps near Mons, Belgium.
* helping to blunt the German offensive in the Ardennes.
* Forging more than half of the ring in the encirclement of the Ruhr Pocket in Central Germany, which resulted in the largest single capture of enemy forces in all of WWII (Europe & Pacific) - 374,000 German Army soldiers.
* played a key role in the forced shutdown and evacuation of Germany's primary V1 and V2 rocket manufacturing facility at Nordhausen, Germany.
* was the first Allied force to liberate a German slave labor camp (the equivalent of a concentration camp) - Nordhausen, Germany.

Throughout the war, the division was a part of First Army. Combat Command A at Villiers Fossard was briefly under V Corps, and Combat Command B was, west of the Vire, under XIX Corps. But, from the Normandy breakout on, except for a brief period during The Battle of the Bulge, they were under command of VII Corps, which was commanded by General J. Lawton Collins.

The division was only commanded by three men during the war; Major General Leroy H. Watson, Brigadier General Maurice Rose and Brigadier General Doyle O. Hickey.

An idea of how involved in the liberation of North Western Europe the 3rd Armored Division was can be found in the individual awards earned by it's men.

* Distinguished Service Cross - 17
* Legion of Merit - 23
* Silver Star - 885
* Soldiers Medal - 32
* Bronze Star - 3,884
* Purple Heart - in excess of 10,500
* Air medal - 138
* Distinguished Flying Cross - 3

The 3rd Armored Division lost more tanks in combat than any other US Division, and CCA lost more tanks than any other unit in the 3rd Armored Division.

Personnel Losses to the Division:

1,810 Killed in Action and 6,963 Wounded in Action



3rd Armored Division Overseas Assignments:

VII Corps 20 November 1943

XIX Corps 8 February 1944

VII Corps 15 July 1944

XVIII Airborne Corps 19 December 1944

VII Corps 23 December 1944

XIX Corps 1 May 1945

Commanders:

MG Alvin C. Gillem April 1941
MG Walton H. Walker January 1942
MG Leroy H. Watson August 1942
MG Maurice Rose August 1944
BG Doyle O. Hickey March 1945
