A question of scale.

Hello Paul,

Both scenario's 'Hollow Victory II' and 'Operation Market-Garden' can be found in the games depot of the Wargamer under 'Westfront with Sea Lion Expansion'. If you nevertheless can't find them, please give me your e-mail adress and I'll send them to you directly.

Hollow Victory II is an improved Hollow Victory (corrected map, improved OOB). Operation Market-Garden Is both an improvement (map, OOB's) as well as an extension of Hell's Highway. The map is significantly wider, since with Hell's Highway I experienced a lack of 'room to maneuver' especially in the area west of the town of BEST (US 101 AB Division and German 15th Army area). As a consequence, more troops (both Axis and Allied) are involved.

By the way, notice that in both scenario's some bridges over major river hexes (full hex rivers) are intentionally not able to be blown! That is to say, ´Jasons Trick´ is NOT applied there. For example, the Highway bridge over the river Rhine at Arnhem. With the entrance of Moeller´s SS engineers (9 SS Panzer Division) rather early in the game, and Arnhem not yet occupied by the Red Devils, the scenario would come to its end too soon. Other bridges, however, (e.g. Railway at Oosterbeek, Railway bridge over the River Maas near Mook and many others) can be blown!

Hajo

Hi Hajo,

Thank you very much for that; I have found and downloaded it. After losing my saved game, Market Garden has been unfinished business, so its great to have this new version of the operation to compliment the new version of West Front. I've had a look at it, and the bigger wider map is immediately obvious, as are all the new formations. With the long dark winter nights approaching, this is going to be hugely enjoyable. Well done and thank you!



Gentlemen, if you aren't familiar with Hajo's work, download one of his scenarios and witness just what is possible with JTCS. Even if a 440 turn scenario is too daunting ( his Overlord scenario is even bigger! ), get it just to look at and explore. It is wargaming on a grand scale.

His scenarios are VERY impressive....[X(]

I wish night turns could be modeled though.....[>:]

Hello Juggalo,

At least in my 'Operation Market-Garden' scenario, I described a method on how to deal with night turns and night visibility in the Designers Notes. This method was given to me by Mike Guntorius.
