RE: Operation Fischfang 1944
Historically there were some massive artillery groups here who inflicted the bulk of casaulties on both sides.
Nevertheless...I've grown tired of endless artillery replays...so in this one I cut the arty down.
We can do the damage the old fashion way, by shooting each other in the face.
The Yanks thought a church steeple standing high above the rubble and ruins of Aprilia was a smokestack.
Hence, they gave the ruins the name of "The Factories". These piles of rocks and basements were fought over for days, and night fights as well.
Today Aprilia is a beautiful village where the best Italian motorcycles are made, and Ducati can suck it.
You will note a map label showing Padre Ducati's Leper Colony on the map, hard west.
The Aprilia is my favorite track bike, a beauty, and the best to come out of Italy.
I just don't have 40,000 laying around to spend on one...darn it...so...Honda it is...lol...but those Aprilia's are nice...on the bucket list...

Old Man Dan

Hey John
I think he (Dan) might be around 87 to 90 or then again maybe close to my age of 68. Not sure!
At any rate he is pretty darn old!!
Rock on Dan!!

SEE BELOW PLEASE FOR DOWNLOADING
Just finished my latest scenario, check it out if interested in an Italian fight during 1944.
This was a meatgrinder.
My Dad's unit was here, the 120th Combat Engineers, they were attached to the 45th Division for most of the war.
Suitable for 1v1 or 2v2 play.
Scenario is available for download...the usual place...
Enjoy!

Dan Caviness
HELLO EVERYONE I had to make a couple of small tweaks last night so the new files are available from the scenario downloads page. A dirt road here, a ford there, you know how it is. Sorry if you've already loaded it. Very sorry. Please download again so we're all using the most recent files. MY APOLOGIES to all!
It's POSSIBLE I might be getting old...;)
No possible about it...yikes...
Regards,
OLD Man Dan
Thanks Dan how old are you btw
Very funny Mr. JB...you are a funny man...let's put it this way...I'm almost as old as you...;)
We can compare pensions to see who's is longest?

RE: Operation Fischfang 1944
You all bring up a valid point however...I got to get these all out before my Oldtimer's Disease starts calling the shots...
I'm hoping working on these scenarios will help keep (a few) brain cells alive...;)
Tequila got a lot of them back in the day, and then, oh Hell, I forget what else happened...
Highest regards to all,
Sailor Dan, retired.
