AufKlaarung counter 1944
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:37 pm
I played an RBG PBEM with Falco.
It was a good scenario.
I envisioned the RBG as a counter strike of a decimated retreating German division. ...Many recon vehicles because that's all the div had left.
I redid the RBG to meet that vision.
I post it here now.
It needs new models I made for it!!! A "PzII L Luchs" and a "PzII J 'ohne aufbau'" (turretless Piwg). They are included in this pack here.
----------
The mission, should you choose to accept it, Jim.
[From the scenario's mission briefing.]
1944 [1500 points]
To:
X D.Pz
----
Situation as of 12:40PM.
After being routed, most of division destroyed.
Div's Operations Stabff nowhere to be found. You and Major Befel the only Command officers left (as Oberst Spellir is incapacitated); and a Major Schmet recently in charge of what remains of regimental artillery.
As the withdrawal has affored time and space, two makeshift KGs have been re-assembled: Spellir's (now your's) and Maj Befel's.
X D.Pz holds the only road through the marshes.
The Soviets must proceed down that road.
Oberst Spellir was going to mount a counter attack with his KG. ...There is nowhere left for X D.Pz to retreat to (marshes to south west [off map]) and Divisional Stab's MG Kompanie is stranded at the plateau.
Your orders are to sweep around and link up with X D.Pz's Stab MG komp near the summit, following Ob Spellir's plan.
Maj Befel's KG is to dig in in place to your north west [off Map] and protect your north flank. Ultimately he will draw fire from the advancing Soviets that you --being deployed on the summit --should be able to decisively respond to.
Major Schmet's Artillery (into the marsh a bit) is ordered to deploy for fire missions.
Your KG has all the Aufkl and most Pioniers.
---------
Divisional Assets:
..Most of Shutzen Regiment anihilated.
..Most Panzers destroyed.
..Most Pz Jg destroyed.
..Much of artillery rgt captured.

..Some Haubitz (contingent on Maj Schmet)
..Remaining, in summit area--

-PzV(Panther) (recovered)
..Remaining, under Maj Befel (to your north)--

Intel:
We were hit hard today by divisions of armor and infantry.
Expect more of the same, covered by artillery and Schturmovicks. The whole front is in Turmoil!
