Coming Soon At Dirty Dozen

[Redleg]

I have been hard at work preparing the Dirty Dozen for September. So far, the following scenarios are ready to go:

Archangel, 1919. U.S. 339th Infantry meets Red Army opponents in a struggle for supplies stored at the Archangel supply depot.

Hauts-Vents, Normandy, 1944. U.S. task force X advances through the bocage (hedgerows) at normandy.

Delay at Caspe, Spain, 1938. Remnants of the battered XV International Brigade (British, Canadian, U.S., and Spanish battalions, now all reduced to company-strength attempt to delay
Nationalist forces at a key transporation network.

At almost the same time, and in the same place (Vosges Mountains, France), a German independent mountain battalion is "Lost". A few miles away, a U.S. infantry battalion is cut-off and targeted for destruction.

Lead the Nisei 442 Regimental Combat Team and the famed Nisei 100th (Purple Heart Battalion) in an effort to rescue the U.S. battalion. An interesting sidenote: The Nisei were in need of new boots and uniforms but due to the small stature of the Nisei, replacement supplies were not available. Finally, as a last resort, the Nisei were outfitted with Women's Army Corps uniforms and boots. But their small stature belied the size of the fighting hearts of the troops of the 442 RCT and 100th battalion.

Lead elements of the U.S. 7th Infantry as they attempt to destroy the German 202d Mountain Battalion. This unit was formed only 8 days earlier. They were issued new uniforms and weapons. A parade was held and they immediately moved to the Vosges mountains intending to face Morracan troops. Instead, everything went wrong and they finally were "lost" on a mountain top facing the U.S. 7th Regiment.

A PBEM version of "Tigers Debut" is a variation of a Tiger battle posted at Fabios Armor site. This is a "field test" of the new Tiger tanks in their first battle.

I have remade two older scenarios for Version 7.1 and thrown in a few wrinkles that should provide you with some tense moments as well.

Believe it or not, there is even a couple of battles that allowed me to score a "decisive" although it didn't feel like a decisive while the bullets were flying.

These and several others will be posted to the Dirty Dozen site sometime in early September.

In the meantime,

Sounds good!

I'm waiting..heheh...


Btw Redleg, how many scenarios have you made so far? Actually think I'm getting kinda impressed...

[Redleg]

I made about 20 or so scenarios that I subsequently trashed due to changes in SPWAW and that as I learned more about SPWAW, I no longer liked or felt good about.

Then I went to work trying to learn as much about SPWAW as possible. Still learning.

A rough guess is perhaps 150 scenarios that people have seen and another 50 or so that just didn't work out right. But I really don't know.

Thanks Redleg, looking forward to the goods
