B52H -> New Scenario for Testing: WW3GER 0.5 Black Horse Riders (2/4/2017 2:45:06 PM)
|
[&o]I've decided to give another campaign a try, this time being set in 1987. This scenario is technically a prelude to the overall campaign of WW3GER, which should be somewhere well over 60 scenarios in size. This scenario has been published to both the Steam Workshop and the game forums, so enjoy! Here's the scenario description:
WW3GER 0.5 Black Horse Riders
20 May 1987 0900Z
This is the first scenario of a nearly 60 scenario campaign based on a hypothetical conflict between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in Central Europe. Key points:
On May 18, 1987, the US Navy Knox-class frigate Paul and a Soviet Krivak-class frigate collided in the Persian Gulf, rupturing one of the Krivak-class's missile tubes and causing a massive explosion, sinking the Soviet ship and killing 18 crew on the Paul.
On May 19, 1987, elements of the 39th Guards Motor Rifle Division left their barracks and presumably deployed to the Inter-German Border near Fulda. Later that day, various Warsaw Pact barracks in East Germany and Czechoslovakia were found empty in reconnaissance images.
On May 20, 1987, heat-sensing satellites detected abnormal readings on the East German side of the North German Plain and the Fulda Gap. The world holds its breath as Europe is about to plunge into a third conflict this century.
You are the commander of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, based on the outskirts of Fulda, West Germany. It is now early morning on May 20, 1987. The first and second Cavalry squadrons of the 11th ACR have deployed to their forward positions at around midnight today. Your task is to prevent Fulda from being taken within the next 5 hours.
------------------------------
Author's Notes:
This the first scenario of the WW3GER campaign, which will be followed by various other campaigns in the Caribbean, Korea, Pacific, South China Sea, the North Atlantic, the Baltic, Yugoslavia, Greece, the Persian Gulf, Libya, Syria, and the Falklands.
The 3rd Cavalry Squadron of the 11th ACR is not featured in this scenario as it will be featured in a future scenario about the fall of Bad Hersfeld.
You have full control over the 11th ACR's aviation component and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Squadrons, along with a variety of attack and fighter aircraft that will be assigned to your command to employ against the Soviet advance. A Hawk battery has also been asigned to your command for air defence.
As ground combat is not yet modeled in CMANO, the majority of your losses will come from Warsaw Pact attack and heliborne units.
The foggy weather in this scenario will lift within the hour in which the scenario starts, but the fog will provide an excellent cover for Spetsnaz infiltrators to enter.
Good luck and happy hunting (or being hunted!)!
