New Scenario Idea

[Arjuna]

Hi Budding Scenario Designers,

I was just doing some testing in the ScenMaker for Patch 2 and I was using the Meleme map when it occured to me that a good what if scenario could be an Allied counter invasion in the second half of 1941.

The Allies could be assumed to do a seaborne invasion via Souda Bay with an Inf Div plus an armoured Bde. Two Bdes could be landed initially, one on each side of the bay. The aim would be for the Allies to secure Khania, Souda, Meleme airfiled and block the east west highway about 3kms east of Souda.

The Germans could start with a Mtn Regt deployed across the map ( 1 Bn at Meleme, another at Souda and the remainder at Khania. German ground reinforcements could come from the east map edge and could consist of a Mtn Regt supported by panzers. A Fjgr Regt could also be flown in via Meleme or dropped somewhere suitable. Alternate reinf schedules for both sides could make this a ripper for replayability. Eg Allies landing west of Khania, east of Souda or on the Rouma peninsular; Axis para dropping on the peninsular or at Galatas, Mtn troops airlanding at Meleme.

All the forces are there now in the Templates and the map is done. If you want to you could make up an entire Brit Arm Div and go head to head with a German Pz Div. There is plenty of scope for a great series of what-if battles here.

Anyone interested in taking up the scenario designer mantle for this one?[:)]
