Next upcoming beta you can find the new scenario:
"Plan Martin 16-31 December 1944 (64 turns)"
You can play one of the most interesting variant of the Ardennes Offensive, called "Plan Martin " and proposed by von Rundsted:

Phase I : Encirclement of Aachen with 15.Armee from north and 6.Pz.Armee from south and reach the Meuse line with 5.PzArmee and 7.Armee.

Phase II : Advance to Antwerp from Namur (7.Armee), Liege (5.PzArmee) Aachen (6.PzArmee).

Phase III : to Antwerp !

In the original plan the 6.PanzerArmee and 5.PanzerArmee were reversed in their starting positions but i prefer to leave the German units in the 16 december 1944 known historical position.
By the way the 15.Armee attack was cancelled only after 20 december and 9.Pz.Division, 3.PzGren. and 15.PzGren. Divisions were redeployed south.

Congrats on this one, Davide. This is a War in the East 2 -sized scenario!

Still sticking to the smaller stuff, but wanted you to know the beta containing the new scenario installed fine.

Also, very impressive how quickly a scenario of this size loads and runs. Congrats to our Dev as well!

Thanks Mike,
Plan Martin need some fine tuning but is already a great challenge for both AI and human player !
