Task Force West at Troyes  (Version 1.1 amended 16-Jan-99)

Troyes France 26th August 1944 (Historical)

Best Played As Allied (US) vs Axis (German)

Visibility 15 hex  Complexity 4 

This scenario depicts action of TF West of 4th US Armd Divn at Troyes France on 26th Aug 1944. Data is based primarily on 'Pattons Third Army At War' by G.Forty with info on 51st SS from Laurence Harden (Many thanks). The OOB of TF West is as complete as I can garner with accurate Commander names (the actual strengths may be generous with all Platoons at full TOE). The OOB for 51st SS on this date and local are bit more tenuous. 
I have 'upgraded' bulk of TF West to Morale 7 as I feel 4th Armd to one of premier US formations. Conversely the SS formation is 'downgraded' to base 5 and with many Platoons being under-strength.
Due to static nature of German defence I have used 'Fixed' units a lot thereby rendering this Scenario as best played as US attackers.
Hope it is as enjoyable to play as it was to make.......

Please feel free to email any comments/critisims etc (it is my 1st try at a scenario and am unconvinced that the VP levels are realistic) 

Amendments :
Made few changes to scenario to attempt making it little harder for US player.
AI aggression reset upwards slightly.
Few changes to German deployments in that more defence to actual Bridge approaches (less of an all-out perimeter defence)
Schedule of German releases amended with more programmed releases.
Bulk of German soft-skin transport removed from map.
Few changes to Minefield/IP/Trenches
Victory Levels doubled.

Thanks to all who responded with comments/suggestions especially Glenn Saunders and Keith Brockus (have included Keiths amended version entitled TroyesKB.scn for those interested)
