Update: Calais.1944.Campaign.scn Diary

[Ocito80]

I recently created two scenarios that are out for testing/playing. Now I have time to sink my teeth into another one. I only have the following games at present, F40, K43, N44, S43 and T43. Below are a couple ideas, and any that the peanut gallery cares to comment on or suggest.


1. Calais.44 : Allies invaded Europe via Pas de Calais, Hitler was right all along. Goal is to land and spearhead straight for Antwerp, which would open the doors for a thrust towards Germany before their forces in France can regroup and counter-attack. Without the hedgerows, could an advance inland be faster?
I'd use the F40 map, reducing the size accordingly, import the Normandy OOB and add the 15th Army.

2. Normandy.Junior.44: Invasion centered around Cherbourg and the western beaches. OOB remains the same. Nothing really new here, just a slightly different view of the battle.

3. Normandy.Senior.44: Invasion as normal, but 15th Army is thrown into the fray right away. Axis must push the allies back into the sea.

4. I buy a new PzC game and come up with a new scenario. Salerno43 is intriguing, but I fear the maps are too small/focused for what I like. If only it had a map of southern italy (rome to boot). B44 maybe...K43 maybe, turn it from defensive battle into one of maneuver...S42 maybe...what to do differently...advance to Stalingrad? Encircle city instead?

5. Peanut gallery suggestions?
