...mentioning this so soon after the release of El Saviour's excellent 'Seven Roads To Hell' scenario but...

I've just finished a small fictional map and scenario - Poles and Polder - which can be downloaded from:

here

It's a cosy little knife-fight between a gaggle of Polish Paras and a mish-mash of scratch German units. Bridges are at stake.

My first fumblings with the HTTR map and scenario editors so don't expect too much.

Map looks good. [:)] Are you you going to make it publicly available?

Link a bit inconspicuous in my first post. The file is at:

Looks great! Can't wait to try it... [8D]

Just played it for a decisive victory (as Allies with supply favouring axis). I have it on realistic orders delay (still too much of a newbie to have painfully realistic[:)]).

It was fun - a good little 'mini-battle' to practice on.

I've only been playing for a couple of months and am still learning (never having played wargames before) so can't really say much in the way of an AAR. Lost the 2nd Polish Abn AT Trp and the A Sqn 15/19 Hussars. I did not really use the armour very well - still not quite sure how best to use tanks etc but I think I sent A Sqn straight into large numbers of infantry who promptly destroyed it. As you can see, I am yet to be comfortable with NATO symbols but hope to get there soon.

Glad you enjoyed it iaidoka. It's a little tougher with the reinforcement options set to favour Axis (IIRC the gliders with the AT guns dont make it, and the paras have a longer tab to the bridges)

Here is my aar map

Map looks really nice! Great that there are more people to make more scenarios for HTTR. Muletears, please send me email (or private message) and write a short description for this scenario. I can add it to my webpage for download.

First off, grovelling apologies to El Savior for this extremely tardy reply. I've only just noticed your message and kind offer!

'Poles and Polder' has been 'pensioned-off' since I last wrote. On reflection, it really was rather amateurish and constrained. In its place now at:

http://home.clara.net/headcount/Poles.html

is a new fictional scenario called 'Make Haste'. This utilises a significantly expanded/tweaked version of the fictional Poles map in a much more interesting battle. Elements of the US 82nd are dug-in around a couple of critical bridges in the north of the map. Players are tasked with holding these positions while forging a linking corridor from the south.

Something to pass the time until CotA arrives. El Savior, if you enjoy it, feel free to host it. All feedback welcome.

Nice map and a fun scenario [;)]

Well done Muletears
