rrockw -> New Scenario (8/20/2004 1:34:54 AM)

Anyone want to a copy of the new scenario I created? Here are some details: By the conclusion of June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 enemy troops were ashore in Normandy. Supported by specialized armor as well as the unprecedented firepower of Allied air and naval units, the assault divisions of the invasion force had cleaved deep chunks from Hitler's vaunted Atlantic Wall. This scenario details the, 12 SS Panzer Division "Hitler Youth" baptism of fire against the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, 9th Brigade and 27th Canadian Armored Regiment, Sherbrooke Fusiliers in a counterattack in the area of the French town of Authie. All details of the battle have been made as accurate as possible from the information I have in my possession, of which the book Blood and Honor, The History of the 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitler Youth," 1943-1945, written by Craig Luther, provided most of the data. Please report any historical inaccuracy to me as soon as possible. This scenario should be part I of a campaign I would like to complete chronicling the history of the 12th SS Panzer Division. The division was made up mostly of sixteen and seventeen year olds who were recruited from the Hitler Youth Class of 1926 (born in 1926). The Hitler Youth Division became a first-class formation of the Waffen-SS-it's special nature underscored by intimate ties to the super-elite Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler Division. Cadre personnel transferred from the Leibstandarte to the 12 SS Panzer Division provided the latter with an experienced nucleus and insured it would be imbued with the fighting qualities and élan of its sister division.
