Fradar, great scenario. Fast and exciting to play. Got DV 4486 - 690 when I tried it, just destroyed every german unit. Reducing the ammo of the sappers would prehaps make it a bit harder ?

Excellent and congratulation for you decisive.
If you replay you might achieve a draw. Results might vary depending on the efficiency of your sappers.
Thanks for trying it and for your nice comments.;)

I hope some expert will create a nice sound file for the engine and the rattling of car wheels on the rails.

Glad you got it attached, thanks. However, comment may be very slow in coming. I spend most of my time designing and have a HUGE collection of new scenarios which I haven't even gotten installed in the game yet. But the main thing is, your's is now on my computer, and if I ever burn-out on designing I'll be loading it.

The last two times I played this ended in a draw and a marginal victory.

The draw was the most fun because the AI was particularly nasty and I was sort of unlucky. It turned into a desperate retreat!

A very nice, quick-play scenario. I have played it 5-6 times and it was different each time.

Well now when I think more about the scen, it seems to be just right. My sappers really were efficient and only one pz-IIIn became a problem.

Nice little scenario, Fradar. You have made an improvement to my original trains. I got a marginal. The tough part is knowing when to withdraw to the exit hex. Timing is everything. Now if we can only have a train with linked cars that do not turn to fire...

Thanks Brent for testing this little scenario.
Yes, it would be great to have a train with all elements linked together and also the adequate sounds.
Did you see Intriguing activity on the Dirty Dozen with 6 trains moving at the same time ?

Fradar,
I played it, too.
I got a MV 5142/1049.

A couple of questions:

1) why units within the same platoon are so scattered around the map? Many platoon leaders are far from their own troops, making the rally more difficult...

2)is it ok that some partisans have Flammenwerfer?
Don't think so, as flammenwerfer is a vehicle weapon, with range 2....

For the rest, very nice little scenario.

Thanks Resisti fot you testing and comments.
The scattering of partisans was made on purpose.
Unlike soviet partisans that were well organized, I considered that this was not the case for the Slovakians and that on the field they would not follow army rules and would deploy a bit according to personal likings.
Sorry for the Flammenwerfer. I will change it.
It does not change much the situation I think.

Fradar's 6 moving trains, "Intriguing Activity" posted at the
Dirty Dozen
is a very unique scenario that shows how a determined and patient designer can squeeze a bit more from SPWAW than seemed possible.
