New NGP'85 article by HirooOnoda.

A couple of comments:

1: In real life the 6th PzG had a danish division to work with, which somehow got left out of the NGP stock game (it is in the Germany 2 expansion though). This makes the defence of the peninsula somewhat more difficult than it would have been "for real". There is also a lot of Corps troops and other bits and pieces missing. A much better solution would have been to delete the 6th PzG division from the NATO OOB and cut off the map at the Elbe imho. But we must play the game as it is.

2: I was the opponent in the articles example 1&2. I quit in example 1 due to the "Explicit Supply" not working for this scenario (I had used up all available supply counters by the end of the 2nd day. Which suggests that this scenario was not meant to be played with explicit supply, and that it was added as an afterthought), not because the units were surrounded.

3: The nr. 2 example from the article is still a game in progress (using Virtual Supply Trucks instead of Explicit Supply). The jury is still out on whether it is a smart idea to leave 1,3 division to die in Hamburg. It does represent an awful lot of kill points, and dead units do not come back and they do not hold any ground either ;)

FWIW :)
