(Blitzkrieg West Front Expansion Pack)(Matrix Edition) The war in Europe is almost over. Hitler is dead and none of the remaining German forces put up even a semblance of resistance...except Oberst Siebert. Siebert commands a rag-tag Kampfgruppe to the south of Bremen. His last orders were to secure the Bremen highway near Hemmersdorf and in the absence of other orders, is continuing to do so. His troops too, know that the end is near, but like their commander, they have nothing left. Most of their families are already in the now occupied territories and for them, fighting seems the only thing they know. Although small, Siebert's Kampfgruppe was lucky enough to secure some of the rarest vehicles in the German Army. Lots of experimental weapon systems and new tank prototypes were released by General Inspectorate of Armoured troops to form into fighting companies. Augmented with repair vehicles from various repair locations or even worn-out tanks from training battalions are combined in a last ditch effort to stop the Allied advance. Opposing them are the vanguards of UK 11th Armoured Division. For the last days, this powerful battlegroup hasn't found any real resistance but this is about to change! Some of their tanks were just received days before and were some of the latest marks or entirely new prototypes. Pretty soon they would face the foe they were designed to combat.

Lots of cool new stuff, but the Allies have a big numbers advantage.

Tough for the Germans if the Brits come at them hard and quick, and can find the flanks
Herr Straße Laufer
A showcase for the hyothetical German weapons systems and some Brit stuff thrown in. Not very balanced. Tough early fighting.

lots of interesting stuff but maybe a little bit too much of all for the allies and not very balanced. Even the german wonder weapons e.g. Tiger F or Panther G could not hold the masses of allied armor

This is a fun scenario. I do think the Axis could use a few more tanks however. Still, enjoyed it.

Germans must destroy as much Allied armor as they can early in the fight. Once the Allies get around on the Germans flanks, its over for the Axis.

Swarms of allied tanks, with lots of rockets. Too many.

Fun scenario for the allied player, but too lopsided for H2H. It would be worth addressing the balance issues, since it's fun using and engaging the very late war armor.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly

Fun, but not enough of either to give the Axis much of a chance, although they shouldn't have had one at this point.
