There are five main routes to enter the town of Hameln, five routes to weaken defense by moving out defender’s forces. And in addition, there’s a bunch of possible ways how to move apartly and then to fight jointly.

RE: NS_WGS The Pied Piper -- NATO
My decisions as shown on the attached map are based on the already annotated observations and in addition and substantially on the existing minefields from north to south-east and on the fortifications in the villages of Bessingen and Herkensen. Also, bear in mind, the mission’s statement: “Fight whatever delaying actions you need to”. It’s some kind of “forward defense”. Plaese see the details in the attachment.

RE: NS_WGS The Pied Piper -- NATO
Bridge is blown up. Unfortunately a Marder vehicle opened the fire, engaged the enemy, and the following ten minutes were very deadly for the 11/66th PG platoon. Now the remaining twelve men have orders to withdraw as originally planned. This order is the only new one in this command phase.
Tank platoon 11/4th Pa will reach its first waypoint in one minute and will have there a halt of twenty minutes. It then will have better access to the upper minefield hexes with a lot of hostile vehicles.
Partly because the WP forces’ second starting position lies 3 to 4 km further to the north as assumed, the tank platoon 21/4th Pa will not get orders to reinforce the Herkensen location. Wait and see how things develop…
Evidently the major attack is carried from the north-east, mainly using N217 for tanks and parallel territory for APCs, latter attack column possibly to strengthen the tank companies on N217 nearby Hasperde village or farther south-west in the area of Groß Hilligsfeld village or after all to enforce access to Hameln from the south. About 2 tank and 2 APC companies in the north-east, about 2 APC companies in the east, and I mean to have seen some more red counters on the N217, but now disappeared in the “fog” of the Steinbach creek’s lower valley.
Average readiness dropped to 84% from 86% in the beginning.

The platoon 1/66th PG’s leader, is his performance to bring him to military court?
More reinforcements for the WP forces attack on the road.
The platoon 11/66th PG’s lonely fight.
The Platoon 11/4th Panzer’s missing direct-support fire.

All further informations are on the map...
Edit: I changed attachment to version 2, have just sticked the textured hint „21/4th Panzer Bn platoon’s existing order Move – Deliberate is changed to the location hex 2411”.
Edit 2: I corrected one single word: attempt.

RE: NS_WGS The Pied Piper -- NATO
Joe, do you have a game save for the turn where 1/66 bailed out of the city/fortifications into the open? I would like to run it and see why the AI decided to bail out and why to that hex.[X(]
Thanks. Great AAR too! [&o]

RE: NS_WGS The Pied Piper -- NATO
Aye-aye, Cap'n! I mean I do have. One before starting the game's resolution phase and one when the phase has ended. Which one do you mean? By email?

Before resolution. Email works or zip it and post it using the Post Reply button (assuming the size is small enough). Thanks.

Here you go, Cap’n Darwin.
One note to my naming convention: ‘k’ is my surname’s first letter, ‘02’ is numbering the turn, and ‘a’ stands for starting the resolution; ‘b’ would be the end of resolution and before commanding.
In the heat of the moment I sometimes forget the correct numbering.
By the way, in German that ‘moment’ is more martial, it sounds as ‘combat’. [;)]

A very fragmentary TOC Diary’s extract only,
humorless recorded,
but not every action,
anyway all taken-outs and important movements.

RE: NS_WGS The Pied Piper -- NATO
Thanks for the file. My week is crazy but I will see if we can give it look. Talking with ROb Monday night, the issue I suspect caused the odd scoot has been already been recode and fixed in the new game engine for Southern Storm.
