Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Yes, it's Friday and though very busy with work this week, I have managed to pull together another (quick) update for you all.

As promised I said I would show the actual scenarios covering D-Day.

There are 12 in total for June 6th, 1944;



The 12 are a mix of individual situations and combinations of the smaller scenarios (2 are AI versions).

The Getting Started at Pegasus Bridge was covered last week.

East of the Orne covers the landing of the complete 6th Airborne Division, it's relief by the Special Service Brigade and the counterattack by elements of 21st Panzer Division.

Gold, Juno and Sword Beach cover each of the Commonwealth landings.

Calvados Coast combines all of the British sector scenarios.

Utah Beach starts after the 101st Airborne Division landings and as the 4th Infantry Division comes ashore.

Cotentin Peninsula includes all the US Airborne landings (82nd & 101st) followed by the landings at Utah beach as well as the German counterattacks led by 6th FJ Regiment

Omaha Beach covers that ill-fated landing.

The Longest Day combines all of the D-Day scenarios and will allow players to have a mega 40 turn scenario.



Here are a few screen shots;

Landings and losses after two turns at Omaha (you should be able to view full size in a new tab or using a touch device);





Utah Beach with the 101st already (scattered) on the ground and the 4th Infantry landing





British Funnies landing at Gold Beach (showing losses after two turns). The British led with their armour, unlike the Americans






Calvados Coast at maximum zoom out with jump map. This scenario covers all three Commonwealth beach landings as well as the 6th Airborne's operation. The German counterattack by 21st Panzer Division which briefly saw some units reach the coast is also included here;






Here is Cotentin Peninsula before the US Airborne start landing. This is again at maximum zoom out and with the jump map so you know how much of the map is visible;






The mother of them all - The Longest Day. This shows all the landings and runs for 40 turns;






Finally, like Kursk we have included a reference scenario that lays out the German positions in Normandy at midnight of June 5th/6th 1944. This really is a huge map - just look at how little the jump map is covering;






Till next week,
