Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread

RE: Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread
That was my guess as well, and those of someone on the blog website, but there are 2 raillines there, and note that both the central objective and the central straight north-south railline are just 3 kilometres from the railline in the west, and also 3 kilometres from the railline in the south.

In PzC Normandy, the railline across the Orne and the one to the east are 6 hexes apart. That's a stretch even taking map distortion into account, and there are still only two raillines.

Edit:

We might be looking at Operation Spring.

Weather conditions seem to be soft, judging by the darker shade of the terrain hexes.

The commander on the left is Brigadier W. J. Megill of the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. The 50 point objective south of them is probably "the factory" in St. Martin de Fontenay. It looks like an industrial hex.

The commander on the right seems to be Brigadier Sherwood Lett, commander of the 4th Canadian Brigade. Reserves and follow-up units were commanded by the 6th Canadian Brigade.

The famous unit mentioned is presumably the Black Watch.

Tank support comes from the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment, 1st Hussars (both of Canadian 2nd Armoured Brigade) and supposedly a unit from the (British) 22nd Armoured Brigade of the 7th Armoured Division, possibly the 1st Royal Tank Regiment as they have Cromwells.

The central-southern village would be May-sur-Orne.

The village on the right is presumably Verrieres.

They're facing the 272nd Infanterie Division with SS support.
