Scenarios You Would Like to See
Moderator: MOD_SPWaW
I would like to see the 1939 Russo-Japanese battle in manchuria. Not very well known, but incidentally perhaps one of the most important battles of the war in that it saved the life of arguably the greatest general of ww2: Zhukov. He writes in his memoirs that when the Japanese attacked, someone, somewhere, had a warrant for his arrest in his briefcase. After the victory, it seems Stalin wanted him more alive than dead.

Even more feedback and ideas.
Belgian fortresses. I may try that. Still trying to deal with "realism".
Japan-Russia. A few months ago, I made a scenario on that topic for the Raiders. It was in the Tank vs Tank month. Not a bad scenario, if I may say so. I don't know if it can still be downloaded or not. I may still have a copy of it. If so, it is free for the asking.
I think other designers are listening, so keep the ideas flowing, guys.
I have enough topics to keep me busy for a good, long while but all of the inputs helped me decide to change some of my own preferences in favor of yours.
Operation Mars - Zhukov's greatest defeat has tweaked my interest as well.

Just one more idea:
One of the less know amphibious landings was the English, Polish, Canadian and French one at Narvik - Norway in 16 April 1940.
The French were an expeditionary Corps that was equiped to go to Finland but instead went to Norway. Under the command of General Béthouart, it was composed by Legionaires, Alpine Chasseurs and Poles and manage to give the Germans some fight at Norway.
To whom wants to investigate...

I am working right now in an hipotetical Campaign based on the "Red Plan", a plan that started in April 1942, when the russians atack the Reich, in order to take advantage of the weak position of the German army that has been fighting since September 1940 in England loosing a lot of material and men. In November 1941 the Germans loose the Beachhead in Dover and are forced to evacuate the island, like the BEF and French in Dunkirk. Then stalin in April 1942 launch it´s atack over the Reich, after been preparing the war industry to full scale since OP. Sea Lion that started on September 1940. Stalin´s wishes of taking Europe were done in 1942 instead of 1943 given the momentum.
The Russians will try to make their way to France, then Britain and the United states join forces with the germans against the RED Menace.
The player will be given 3500 points to make its army and be part of Soviet Army Group North.
I would like to know what kind of battles and in which citys and locations u want the campaing to take place. The first scenario is a crossing of the Niemen River, in route to Koneigsberg. The first scenario has in action a Company of the Soviet Elite Parachute Batallion "Stalin", helping you taking forward positions on the other side of the river while your army makes its way to link with them.
I am working on the explanations of the events that happened and leaded to this RED PLAN, that i briefly expressed above. What u want to see guys is very important to m and will make the campaign better.

Mierda....y ahora...que corno hago?
Just ideas so far:
extend WBW's Victors campaign with subsidiary fights - balkans, persian gulf, scandinavia, manchuria?
Anyone ever do Seelowe?
The invasion of Malta - series of battles - the Germans were going to use captured KV-2s!!!
Invasion of Gibraltar
Or, assume Germans won at El ALamein and Stalingrad somehow - Rommel and Manstein in the Middle East and Persian Gulf....
as you can see I have no problem with what-ifs

DAK in the fertile crescent...! Crazy. Threatening the Caucauses from the south, classic Panzer General.
As far as Russia attacks in 42... that could mean scenario building into the next millenium. If the Soviets didn't have a hard enough time busting outta the Kuestrin bridgehead in 45 against a gutted Wehrmacht... I bet that there'd be a huge borderland battle in the north. You'd have to assume that the Soviets learned a lot of practical operational art without having to get the biggest spanking of the century. I think that there'd be massive pockets of German infantry in and around Berlin, and the more rugged terrain of Cz, and Austria. The Soviets would have to slice through the area between Berlin and Dresden and shoot for the Ruhrgebiet... but the flanks would be super scary. There just wasn't enough amphibious bandwidth for the Germans to loose enough infantry on English soil to make Russia's job easy. Thank goodness for T-34's tho, and the Germans would be a bit behind schedule on Panthers and Tigers probably. I've planned a similar kind of Campaign in the far future (for my own schedule) where the Soviet juggernaut realizes an economic battle with the west that could not be won and rolls forward to get more of Germany's tasy industrial real estate... following a similar path.
Arg, when I have to work late... ramble ramble ramble...

Hello Tombstone.
Yes, u r right, the kind of fight that will be in the campaign will be like what u say, pockets of resistance, close combat in major citys, and so on but in adition, u will see also plenty of parachute and glider OPs in adition to your army, Elite infantry that has been trained in this subject since 1936 and that in April 1942, with more man, and plenty of transports are ready for action.
I am now looking for maps of major citys and topogrfical maps of the diferent regions to make the maps for the campaign. I found some interesting sites with maps and all that that i will share with u here and the rest of us as soon i get back home at night.
Which would be the axis of atack in your campaign project?

I forgot to mention, i also considered as u making campaigns based on the hipotetical situations of the war in case that ther germans achieve some goals they never achieved, like kicking the Brits out of Africa, gaining the Oil rich Middle east and then, a new strengthened German army in colaboration with the italians launching an atack from the Caucasus.
Also i thought about a "Defending the Reich" campaign, that gives the german player, the posibility (but not the security), of kicking the Brits and Us troops out of france to the sea, then focusing again on the East Front.
Maybe we can do something in common in the future.

Hello fellas,
I am in favor of "division" scens and camps as well...was it you, Redleg, who named the infamous SS Totenkopf?
Well there's a very old book on SSTK, (I got it at Concordia Library (Mtl, Qc.)), showing its path from its creation from indisciplined death camp guards to its death throes in Hungaria (I believe...).
With their role as Hitler's own firemen, they fought mostly in defensive posture and lost a few thousand percent casualties over the course of the war in the east.
Also, their equipment changed alot from the early days where SS were equipped with the material the Wehrmacht outmustered to the late war, where they would get only the best.
Leadership could as well play a large factor:
SSTK was badly let in the attacks during the beginning of the war, creating huge losses which lead to the massacre of allied prisoners (highlanders, I think) in Le Paradis during the 1940 offensive in France.
Such failures in attack (due to self recklessness) mostly let them to be designed as perfect defensive unit (for their self recklessness...).
From the beginning of Op. Barbarossa on, SSTK stayed on the Eastern Front only. If my memory serves me well, they saw nonstop combat (only traveling from one hot spot to the other were "timeouts) from 1943 on.
Needless to say that I'd like to see a campaign on those freaks...

Hello.
I would like to see partisan/guerrilla warfare. Some examples:
The french resistance against Vichy police, Germans, Hiwis...
Yugoslav/Tito partisans causing havoc against Italians, Ustachis, Croatians, Germans, etc...
Ucranian/soviets partisans against germans, bulgarians, rumanians, hungarians, etc..
North Italy communist guerrilla against Fascist Italians and Germans (and all those ucranians, cossacks, croatians, tartars, bosnians, etc... serving with the gerries).
Spanish republican maquis fighting Spanish fascists in the pirineos...

Man! What creativity and great ideas!
Guerrillas:
Try Commando Force 133. Brit Commandos and Yugo partisans vs Germans and their sympathetic Yugo partisans. Simultaneous assault on 2 of the Dalamation islands. Historic based.
Should be at the Raider site. If not, I will send it to anyone who wants it.
Ebro River. Gotta love SCW. I made a half dozen of those and want to update some when time permits. They were on one or the other of Versions of SPWAW. Expect to do something more with this theme. Also must mention my beloved 250th Spanish Blue.
Malta. Try Maltese Falcons 1 and 2. German/Italian airborne and gliders assault Malta in 42. Italian paras must repulse British armor counter-attack.
Second battle is beach assault to link up with Italian paras on-shore. Features Italian commandos who must assault gun emplacements.
These might be at the Raiders site. If not, ask and you shall receive.
Send email to artifice@fireserve.net and I'll send promptly.
Somethings I am thinking of to add to the idea list: Lithuanian Jewish Division in Red Army and the Jewish Brigade (erroneously often described as the only Jewish unit serving with allies).
Thanks for the wealth of ideas, guys.
