GoodWood Revised

[larryfulkerson]

Steve Sill and I were playtesting Sicily to Brenner Pass and found a good stopping place in it, there were a lot of changes needed
and it was going to take a while so Steve asked me to playtest his Goodwood and I downloaded it from his site and started it up and
here's what I see:

Here's a closeup of the front lines. Note the minefields. They impeed movement because it's 'rocky' terrain. I'm guessing the axis of
the advance will be approx. 130 degrees true straight into the German positions. I'm thinking I want my own arty pounding to take place
first before I start moving and I want the airplanes to do something about the opposing air force as a first priority.

One small correction - this isn't 'revised', it's an 'original'. [;)]

[larryfulkerson]

Here's how the air power stacks up so far. There are no Axis planes and the Axis isn't going to get any I think. Expected reinforcements
shows no new airplanes for the Axis but there may be some event(s) that give some active Axis planes. So I'll have to watch for that.

Oh. Right, right. Sorry. My bad.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the OOB for both sides and you can see there's a very low counter population for both sides and there's a preponderance of
arty in both line ups. I'm guessing this scenario is depending heavily on it's arty for making any progress etc.

Here's a list of the Allied equipment assigned and my comments about that.

This shot is the front lines just before the fourth Combat Round. I'm making some progress already. German defenses stiffen I'm
guessing.

Here's the start of turn 2 and the 1st SS Panzer Division has showed up at the middle bottom, the black units. All sinister looking.

[larryfulkerson]

Dempsey and his staff have arrived at the front. All the soldiers are cheered up I'm sure.

It just occured to me that somebody else might like to run this scenario through a time or two and as a service to the gaming
community I've attached the scenario to this post. Just delete the dot txt off the file name and unzip it.

Now that you have a feel for the first couple turns, you should go get the latest version. My fault for not posting it before you started.

You should get this screen, with scenario version 3.04, and TOAW Version 3.4.0.202, and note that this version has a PBEM option :

You mean http://www.dizium.net/toaw do you?

[sPzAbt653]

Yes yes, thank you Telumar ! I'm very confused today ! Too many files, versions, sites, pop ups, passwords, copies, uploads, downloads, zips ...

Put you hands where we can see them and slowly back away from the computer.

You mean you've posted a later version than the one I'm playing w/? D'oh. Well, I'm only on turn 4, I COULD start over I guess. Nah.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the front lines as of the beginning of turn 4:

[larryfulkerson]

I think I've changed my mind. I'm going to start over and use the newest version because Steve needs the data
on the newest version and not the old one.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the positions of the units after the first three combat rounds of T1:

Here's what the front lines look like in T3:
