After being threatened by my superior officers and men of hanging me in a hook of meat unless i use my naval fire at the beggining, i started the first scenario this way and i managed to get to the first channel with 5% cassualties and all my tanks rolling.....well...i will get across it (once i destroy those MG bunkers) and post the AAR, but by now, this is my report from the front.

Nearly hanged but now victorious commander....Sebagonzalez.

Glad to hear that you cleared the beaches and crossed the canal - now just a whole load of town to clear.

Try and stay clear of the hangrope and the meat hook that your troops are threatining you with

Thanks

Ubertechie,

Did you create the Sealion campaign with the C&C users in mind or not? I am on the first battle (landing) and notice that my AA platoon (MkIV Tauchs) are scattered from one end of the beach to the other.

Richmonder - C&C should be fine for every battle bar the first one - having it in will cause chaos - the landings where predicted to end up in something of a 'formation pigpile' by the Kreigsmarine - and the scenario attempts to reflect this - you are welcome to try but it may make a hard scenario virtually impossible
Let me know how you get on
Thanks

England, 8/6/1940

Landings began at 0500 hours. Mines on the beach together with bunkers. We took some casualties but pushed on. Knocked out three bunkers, bypassed the rest. Encountered Tommie infantry. Fire and movement, broke into their positions. Routed them. Continued through the urban area. More infantry, resisting hard. Casualties began mounting. Second company’s advance in the north stalled, one platoon reduced to twelve men. Enemy fire discipline superior. Our company regrouped. Pioniere were sent forward to deal with enemy strongpoints guarding the bridges over the canal. After some hard fighting the Pioniere platoons were successful. Regimental Commander appeared at the forward line, gathering the Panzers, the Pioniere platoons and my platoon for a concentrated effort in the direction of the church. The supporting artillery was directed at suspected enemy positions. Vorwärts Männer! Tommie machine-gun fire hit us. Feldwebel Meyer was killed. The artillery had been largely ineffective. Still we hurled ourselves at the enemy. So close, so close - the church was almost within our grasp when we were ordered to fall back. The men were enraged, Regimental commander most of all. I heard him curse the Luftwaffe for being poor marksmen and some of the clearly inexperienced Panzer drivers. (Several cases of immobilised vehicles). Platoon suffered 12 casualties, Regiment some 160. Enemy casualties are estimated to over 300. We have however not taken a single prisoner. Magnificent soldiers these English, better even than the Poles. How many more like them must we face before the final victory? If they are many, that victory will never be ours.

- - - - -
One tough scen! Very challenging! (Did not fight with C/C on) Managed to pull off a minor victory with 3762 vs 1073 in score. Had three of my four remaining (movable) tanks standing at the church while my infantry got held up fighting unexpected enemy infantry positions. Ran out of turns. Many thanks for a promising campaign! Tomorrow I will have a go at the Tommies again. My male pride is screaming for revenge.

Wulfir - thanks for the great AAR - those last victory hexes on the church would have probably swung it for you to a DV - taking them requires a fair amount of luck. Interesting about the breakdowns - thats one problem i never encountered - i did however managed to get a stuka to anihilate several of my infantry in error. The next scenario is not quite as tough - so your pride should be restored - enjoy - and please let me know of any bugs that you find

Thanks

Uber....Up to turn nine, light casualties, 1 tank immobilized, 3 still fully operational, smoke and bypass are working, Naval gunfire limited. Mortars seem to have problem, they fire first round accurately but the second goes airforce (into the wide blue yonder)having a good time with your camp...continuing forward SLOWLY...nice work guy. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Chief - must be the salt water in the tubes thats affecting those 81's - either that or the crew are suffering from seasickness. Only 1 tank lost - you must have been v lucky on the beach - or v skilled.
Thanks for the feedback

i created a few scenerios regarding sealion. they are two based on hypothetical airbourne landings aimed at knocking out coastal defences around Dover. glider and paratroop landings. I had wild bill test one, and got back good remarks. i need to review them to make sure they still work with v7, but if anybody is interested in them, email me and i can send them to you...

Hey General Ubertechie...Commander Sebagonzales reporting a Marginal Victory here. All Vic Hexes taken by turn 22, the rest pf the turn just kicked the remaining british forces.....4500 points vs 400 of the British. Anyway seems that was not enough my General, so i recieved your orders to pull back again to the first channel and form a line there from which i will now again launch an offensivo to take the area. Very challengig, very good work.

Sorry i do not extend in a detailed AAR but my english vocabulary is not enough in military matters to do it hehe. Bye

Seb - glad to hear that you made it through - now to finish them off.

Zel - would be interested in any scenarios - am working along the 4 regiments invloved in the planned landing and then the airborne stuff - followed by the final drive to london - this campaign is therefore 1/6 th of the final work - so any aid is appreciated

Many Thanks

Uber: sorry I lost some tanks to mines on beach, what I reported was what remains active....sorry about confusion....Did u notice mortar problem ? <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

ubertechie · Post by **ubertechie** » Thu Jan 31, 2002 10:29 pm

Chief - thanks for the feedback - no problems with the 81's in my experience - however it could be a version thing or just plain bad luck -I have tested with 7 and 7.1

Hope you continue to enjoy

Thanks

Uber: Not really much of a problem, click to fire mortar, weapon fires two rounds, one goes to aiming point the other goes ~45 degrees, next fire click weapon fires two rounds, same results and so forth, does the mortar have twin tubes???
It doesn't much interfere with game, I just put it in for info for you. I'll get off this kick now and try to kick some beefeaters. Fish and chips all around mein herr. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Uber: After re-reading my last post I didn't mean to be insensitive in my last sentence. I served with the RAF at Luqa, Malta and the Royal Navy at HMS Falcon, Malta and I developed respect for your chaps, but not your mutton. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
