Status: offline 		Richmonder - C&C should be fine for every battle bar the first one - having it in will cause chaos - the landings where predicted to end up in something of a 'formation pigpile' by the Kreigsmarine - and the scenario attempts to reflect this - you are welcome to try but it may make a hard scenario virtually impossible
Let me know how you get on
Thanks
Ubertechie

Status: offline 		England, 8/6/1940 Landings began at 0500 hours. Mines on the beach together with bunkers. We took some casualties but pushed on. Knocked out three bunkers, bypassed the rest. Encountered Tommie infantry. Fire and movement, broke into their positions. Routed them. Continued through the urban area. More infantry, resisting hard. Casualties began mounting. Second company’s advance in the north stalled, one platoon reduced to twelve men. Enemy fire discipline superior. Our company regrouped. Pioniere were sent forward to deal with enemy strongpoints guarding the bridges over the canal. After some hard fighting the Pioniere platoons were successful. Regimental Commander appeared at the forward line, gathering the Panzers, the Pioniere platoons and my platoon for a concentrated effort in the direction of the church. The supporting artillery was directed at suspected enemy positions. Vorwärts Männer! Tommie machine-gun fire hit us. Feldwebel Meyer was killed. The artillery had been largely ineffective. Still we hurled ourselves at the enemy. So close, so close - the church was almost within our grasp when we were ordered to fall back. The men were enraged, Regimental commander most of all. I heard him curse the Luftwaffe for being poor marksmen and some of the clearly inexperienced Panzer drivers. (Several cases of immobilised vehicles). Platoon suffered 12 casualties, Regiment some 160. Enemy casualties are estimated to over 300. We have however not taken a single prisoner. Magnificent soldiers these English, better even than the Poles. How many more like them must we face before the final victory? If they are many, that victory will never be ours. - - - - -
One tough scen! Very challenging! (Did not fight with C/C on) Managed to pull off a minor victory with 3762 vs 1073 in score. Had three of my four remaining (movable) tanks standing at the church while my infantry got held up fighting unexpected enemy infantry positions. Ran out of turns. Many thanks for a promising campaign! Tomorrow I will have a go at the Tommies again. My male pride is screaming for revenge.

Status: offline 		Wulfir - thanks for the great AAR - those last victory hexes on the church would have probably swung it for you to a DV - taking them requires a fair amount of luck. Interesting about the breakdowns - thats one problem i never encountered - i did however managed to get a stuka to anihilate several of my infantry in error. The next scenario is not quite as tough - so your pride should be restored - enjoy - and please let me know of any bugs that you find Thanks Ubertechie

Mortars seem to have problem, they fire first round accurately but the second goes airforce (into the wide blue yonder)having a good time with your camp...continuing forward SLOWLY...nice work guy.

Thanks for the feedback Ubertechie

Status: offline 		i created a few scenerios regarding sealion. they are two based on hypothetical airbourne landings aimed at knocking out coastal defences around Dover. glider and paratroop landings. I had wild bill test one, and got back good remarks. i need to review them to make sure they still work with v7, but if anybody is interested in them, email me and i can send them to you...

Status: offline 		Hey General Ubertechie...Commander Sebagonzales reporting a Marginal Victory here. All Vic Hexes taken by turn 22, the rest pf the turn just kicked the remaining british forces.....4500 points vs 400 of the British. Anyway seems that was not enough my General, so i recieved your orders to pull back again to the first channel and form a line there from which i will now again launch an offensivo to take the area. Very challengig, very good work.
Sorry i do not extend in a detailed AAR but my english vocabulary is not enough in military matters to do it hehe. Bye

It doesn't much interfere with game, I just put it in for info for you. I'll get off this kick now and try to kick some beefeaters. Fish and chips all around mein herr. [ February 01, 2002: Message edited by: chief ]

If you can find the 'More Mortar Musings' thread (sorry I don't have a link to it) a few pages back somewhere on this forum, it explains it pretty well. Basically there is a known accuracy problem with weapon slots other than first when used for mortars in indirect fire. The reason you may not have noticed it is that the latest v7.1 beta German OOB has the single tube per unit solution implemented - thus no accuracy problems. Any v7.0 scenario which is heavily reliant on mortars will need to be reexamined after v7.1 is available in order to possibly add a mortar unit or two to the forces so that they have the correct number of tubes. Hope this helps,
Brian

Status: offline 		i will answer for Uber, and if i am not wrong, u have to just select the forces involved in the scenarios, turn them all to auxiliary units and thats it. The same way u do when making a campaign with auxiliary units involved, but with the diference that all units are auxiliary. By the way Uber, managed to get a Decisive victory in scenario 2, maybe cause i knew some of the positions since the first scenario, but i saw something i never saw before.....British trucks putting infantry in certain places and then leaving!!, and i mean leaving the infantry without being atacked.....u will have to tell me how is it done man, was really good. On my way to the third scenario!

Status: offline 		What I mean is this: Is there a way to choose a core force (and deploy)for a campaign that I am designing, then in the second and all following battles the player can set up the forces as he desires? I am essentially looking to format the core force for the players.

Status: offline 		This was my first attempt at a "Campaign".
Up until now I have strictly played scenarios. I finished phase one to a draw (German 2098/Britain 2973) but feel, in reality, it was a crushing defeat. I had very few units left, with no hope of cleaning up the remaining British defenses. My biggest problem was losing 5 of my Panzers to mines on the beach - 3 destroyed, 2 immobilized.
In future I suppose I will use my Engineer units as pathfinders ... I also lost another due to a careless move through smoke that was a building hex. I wish the game would request confirmation of a move like that, similar to the Oportunity Fire. The British Homeguard units lived up to the "guard" part of their name. Their Lewis guns were especially deadly. I enjoyed playing the game and look forward to the next phase. P.S. One question I have concerns the barge units.
After they dropped off their personnel I withdrew them off the board, thinking that would cut down on having to click through them all for orders, but that had no effect. The barges still came up in sequence for orders after they had left the map. Is that normal or a glitch ?

Status: offline 		Hi guys - thanks for all of the feedback - great to here that you are all soldiering on - no pun intended...
Richmonder - dont know the answer to your question - i just made the player have teh same core whihc is basically 2 re-inforced infantry companies - and they are all set to aux units. Sorry i cant be more helpfull. The trucks thing is cool - its really simple though - its a matter of timing - the trucks seem to drop the infantry when they get suppresion - so i timed them to arrive just as the player does - this was deduced by letting the ai play itself several times - this gives te impression that the ai is unloading the troops in a planned manner. NOt hard to do just takes some fiddling with. Many Thanks Ubertechie
