Hi Hailstone,

Just an observation on my part regarding your scenario Tiger Hunt. I was reviewing it in the editor and noticed a slight error.
I'm sorry to say that JgPz V tank destroyers were not available at Kursk circa July 1943. However Elefants Panzerjager Tiger (P) were. Maybe that was your intention.

The JgPz V (Hunting Panther) began production in mid autumn to late 1943, but the first vehicles were not seen on the field until mid to late spring 1944.

Thought you should know my friend.

BTW, the scenario looks awesome and thank you!!![&o][&o][&o]

Best always!
Big Ivan[;)]




Hmmm, Yeah John, you are right with your historical facts. I should have used the Panzerjager Tiger as
was listed in the scenario. The wrong AFV was selected inadvertently. Good catch and I will correct it. Thanks. [;)]

Your a good man Sam!![;)]

School Daze

Arnhem, Holland, September 19, 1944: The third day on the bridge found
the British in an ever tightening stranglehold. Facing countless attacks,
their ammunition running low, and still no contact with any units outside
of Arnhem, the situation certainly looked bleak. (Continued on page 4) Damn!

Game Length: 7 turns

For the Germans to win they must capture the school
For the British to win they must hold the building

Some more DASL action...


Counterattack on Martinville Ridge


Martinville Ridge, Normandy, France, July 16, 1944: The constant bocage
fighting had eroded the fighting strength of the 20th Infantry Division
but they slowly pushed on, anxious to reach St. Lo. Today would be a day
of rest for the men of the 116th Regiment. Until assault guns and mortar
fire ruined it...

Game length: 7 turns

For the Germans to win they must take the battlefield
For the Americans to win they must hold their ground

Germans: Squads, MMG's, LMG's, AFV's
Americans: squads, HMG, MMG's, BAZ's, MTR

DASL Boards: #e, #f, #h

Aftermath: The German paratroopers had infiltrated the line between the
dispersed American units and had three assault guns for support - a rare
occurrence in the bocage. The Americans took heavy casualties before the
Germans withdrew. The last mile to St. Lo would not be easy.

I came back to the forum from a few months absence to find you putting out scenario's like a Vegas slot machine.
Wait, that's not a good anology. lol
Thanks a lot, have really enjoyed playing them.
Good luck to you in retirement. I'm into my tenth year somewhat, because I missed being around people after a year and went back to work for a few years.

Alone At Dawn

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Title 10, Section 8742, U.S.C., awards the Air Force Cross
to TSgt John Chapman for extraordinary heroism in military operation against an armed enemy of the United States as a
24th Special Tactics Squadron, Combat Controller in the vicinity of Gardez, in the eastern highlands of Afghanistan, on
March 4, 2002. On this date, during his helicopter insertion for a reconnaissance and time sensitive targeting close air
support mission, Sergeant Chapman's aircraft came under heavy machine gun fire and received a direct hit from a rocket
propelled grenade which caused a United States Navy sea-air-land team member to fall from the aircraft. Though heavily
damaged, the aircraft egressed the area and made an emergency landing seven kilometers away. Once on the ground Sergeant
Chapman established communication with an AC-130 gunship to insure the area was secure while providing close air support
coverage for the entire team. He then directed the gunship to begin the search for the missing team member. He requested,
coordinated, and controlled the helicopter that extracted the stranded team and aircrew members. These actions limited the
exposure of the aircrew and team to hostile fire. Without regard for his own life Sergeant Chapman volunteered to rescue his
missing team member from an enemy strong hold. Shortly after insertion, the team made contact with the enemy. Sergeant Chapman
engaged and killed two enemy personnel. He continued to advance reaching the enemy position then engaged a second enemy position,
a dug-in machine gun nest. At this time, the rescue team came under effective enemy fire from three directions. From close range he
exchanged fire with the enemy from minimum personal cover until he succumbed to multiple wounds. His engagement and destruction of
the first enemy position and advancement on the second position enabled his team to move to cover and break enemy contact. In his
own words, his Navy sea-air-land team leader credits Sergeant Chapman unequivocally with saving the lives of the entire rescue
team. Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, aggressiveness in the face of the enemy, and the dedication to the
service of his country, Sergeant Chapman reflects the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

Hey Slaphappypappy, you are right a better analogy is more like a Vegas Hooker. Retirement hasn't sunk in yet after a week. Feels more like I'm on leave so I guess it'll take a little longer. If I get too bored there's always Walmart [:D]

Maybe, the reason for me being so prolific with scenarios is because the

The Mighty Maus

Kummersdorf Proving Grounds, South-east of Berlin, April 22, 1945.
The last offensive on the Eastern Front was reaching a final, furious cresencdo as Zhukov's and Konev's
Army Groups raced for the ultimate prize of Berlin. Sitting right in front of the path of the 8th Guards
and 1st Guards Tank Armies was the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds, where German armor and ordnance had been
tested throughout the war. Evidence of what went on there is sketchy, but it is known that at least one of
the Super Heavy 'Maus' Tanks was encountered. It is also known that two of these dreadnoughts had been tested
there, and here we are postulating what 'might have been', considering their probable state of readiness and
what the German defense could muster.

Attacker: Russian (Elements of the 1st and 8th Guards Tank Armies)
Defender: German (Remnant elements of the 9th Army, local Volksturm, Proving Grounds Armor, Ordnance and Staff
and elements of the 11th SS Panzer Grenadier Division "Nordland")

Hailstone -> RE: Submitted Scenarios (1/25/2020 8:26:02 PM)

Wow UP844, I didn't know TSR made historical wargames because back in the day TSR
was part of my Dungeons and Dragons fantasy phase. There were almost 23,000 casualties
in the battle of Antietam. We seem to be too good with Americans killing Americans.
The point being that nobody better mess with the USA because just look at what we do
to each other when we're pissed off. An outsider would get even less mercy...[8D]



UP844 -> RE: Submitted Scenarios (1/25/2020 9:15:00 PM)

This game was released after TSR purchased SPI (making fine - perhaps the finest - wargames was not profitable enough)

Back in the early '80s I played many games of the "Great Battles of the American Civil War" series made by SPI, including "Terrible Swift Sword" (Gettysburg). It was a fine system, but not really suited to recreate large battles: "A Gleam of Bayonets" had two very large maps and "Terrible Swift Sword" had three. We had to play those games on a pool table.

"A Gleam of Bayonets", like all the games I played, included a long series of rules to prevent the Union player from crushing the Confederate. Actually, the guy playing the Union proved to be even more passive than MacClellan, and I had a furious quarrel with my fellow Confederate player, as I wanted to attack and smash through the Union lines [:D].

Here's one for the farmers...


The Grain Elevator

Playtest Scenario


Southern Stalingrad, Russia, September 18, 1942: The German 6th Army entered
Stalingrad at a higher cost than anticipated. Since September 13th, they pounded away at the Russians who were defending their city street by street and block by block. The Russians made Stalingrad into a cauldron of fortresses and the Germans were learning the true meaning of street fighting.

One of those fortresses was the huge grain elevator in the southern part of the city. Its cement silos rose high above the plain making observation easy for the
Soviet soldiers who occupied it. Since September 14th, a group of about 50 Russian
troops had holed up in the corrugated metal-sided tower and defied the guns of 3
German Divisions. Reinforced on the night of September 17th by the Soviet's 92nd
Marines, the Russians fought on with renewed spirit. Lt. Andrei Khoysyanov and a
platoon of marines smoked and joked as they joined their comrades in the elevator.
German fire ricocheted and whistled through their fortress as they held off attack after attack. At one point a German tank pulled up under a white flag. Fascinated by this maneuver, the Russians allowed them to approach their position. An officer and interpreter cautiously asked for their surrender to the "Heroic German Army".
The Russians promptly told them where to go and the marines blew up the tank.

Game Length: 8 turns

For the Germans to win they must capture the grain elevator
For the Russians to win they must defend the building

Like it or not here's another one...


Biting Beeck

Beeck, Germany, November 30, 1944: With the Siegfried Line breached
and the Allies on German soil, the German High Command was desperately
trying to find enough troops to hold the line. The 10th SS Panzer Division,
"Frundsburg", had taken heavy losses in the Arnhem fighting and had been
pulled out of Holland for rest and reorganization. But the pressing demand
of the front took precedence, and their only rest was the week it took the
Americans to prepare the next assault. It fell on the Geilenkirchen area.
Beeck was one of the nearby villages, and several attempts to capture it had
failed. Finally, on November 29th, a company from the 84th Infantry Division
had managed to occupy the southwest edge of town. As it was dark and the
company was receiving a great deal of small arms fire, no attempt was made
to clear the rest of the town. On the morning of the 30th, Company B with 4
light tanks for support were to jump off from their toehold and take the western
half of the village. Company A would attack from the east.

Game Length: 10 turns

For the Americans to win they must secure the road through the western part of town
For the Germans to win they must defend the road

Americans: Squads, HMG, MMG's, BAZ44's
Germans: Squads, MMG's, LMG's, PSK's, DC, AFV's

Boards: #10, #18, #21

Aftermath: The SS had all night to deploy machine guns and snipers to fend off
the anticipated assault. Company B's progress was slow. Meanwhile, heavy
concentrations of artillery and mortar fire kept Company A outside of the town
the whole day. Company B had advanced 250 yards by noon, then halted to regroup.
Suddenly 2 Panthers drove into town on the road from Wurm. The first knocked out
a light tank, but was then damaged by bazooka fire and withdrew. The second moved
up with 15-20 supporting SS troopers. Another light tank was hit, but the Panther
was disabled and the infantry was driven back. This broke the back of the German
resistance, and when the Company finally resumed its advance, only light resistance
was encountered. By 1800 Hrs, the G.I.'s had dug in on the high ground outside Beeck.
Company A finally filtered into town after dark, and a calvary troop reinforced the
group the following day. Beeck was firmly held.
