AbsntMndedProf -> H2H Final Release Campaign: (A Beginning of it, anyway.) (8/7/2003 3:07:40 AM)
|
Well, I've done it! I've started to build my first campaign. Here is what I have so far: (The first battle and the first tier of battles after it.)
In this campaign you are a newly minted Oberst, or Colonel. You have been given command of a recently formed training unit. Your men have completed their initial training in their home district and have been formed into units with experienced NCOs and some veterans that had been wounded and are again ready for active service. They are now ready to complete their final training in the occupied territories. Initially you and your men will be assigned missions to assist local authorities and police units there.
As your units improve, they will move near the front and be assigned missions to defend rear area units against enemy attacks. Ultimately, if you and your men perform well, your command will be transferred to the Field Army, and you will participate in front-line opperations! Good luck and good hunting!
Your first assignment is to patrol the area around a newly constructed Krupp munitions works in the Reich territory which was formerly part of Poland. We have reason to believe that the local farmers are moonlighting as partisans. Rumors have also reached the Abwehr that these partisans have come into possession of some equipment from the Polish army that did not fall into our hands. You and your men are tasked with dealing with this threat. The factory and its munitions stockpiles must be protected! Your next assignment will depend on how well you coordinate with the local police units. (A formation of Pz Ibs and police units will be arriving to support your efforts as soon as they can reach the area, and there are Krupp security units in place around the munitions works.) Good luck and good hunting!

Suggestions and comments on how what I have so far, historical corrections, or ideas for how on how you would like to see the campaign continue are more than welcome at my email address: [email]a.absentmindedprof@verizon.net[/email].
(I would also like to know if you find this campaign worthy of being completed. At this point my flow-chart for the campaign could end up with 40 to 50 battles in all for the complete campaign. I'd hate to put in all that effort, if nobody likes the idea of this campaign.)
Having said that, enjoy!
