SCHMIDT.ZIP
[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario][Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Panzerblitz!]

November 4, 1944, a battalion from the 112th regiment of the 28th Infantry Division, Pennsylvania National Guard, a veteran of the Normandy landings, has pushed its way through the Huertgen Forest to the town of Schmidt. Unbeknownst to anyone other than the German High Command the town of Schmidt is situated on high ground which will be important to the yet unannounced planned counterattack in the Ardennes. It was imperative that all high ground be held by the German forces for this planned attack to get off to a good start. The Germans had to retake the town of Schmidt and assigned a company of panzers from the 116th Panzer Grenadier Division and elements from the 89th Infantry Division to do the job. Only 3 of 8 M4 Sherman tanks sent to reinforce the American positions managed to negotiate the narrow road and make it to the town of Schmidt.

Panthers and Mark IVs closed on the town from the Northeast while the 89th Infantry assaulted the town from the Southeast in an attempt to drive out the American 112th Regiment battalion holding the town.

As German commander drive the Americans out of the town. This is a continuation of my long delayed "Huertgen Forest" series.

September 7, 1914, while on patrol near Moncel, France, a troop from the British 9th Lancers stumbles upon a clearing where a cavalry force twice its size from the German 1st Garde Dragoner, Garde Cavallerie Division, the flower of the German mounted service. Without a moment hesitation the British Lancers charged the 100-man strong German force and cut their way through them in a vicious fracas. The British commanding officer, Colonel David Campbell, was lanced and his adjutant wounded and many others were killed and wounded, but the 9th Lancers took twice as many Germans down with them. This was the only head-on cavalry battle in France during the entire war.

[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario] [Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Panzerblitz!]

A small rag-tag outfit of allies, British and American, defend the desert well at the Bir Aqrum ruins from elements of a Afrika Korps infantry battalion.

This fast playing scenario is based on the great 1943 wartime movie "Sahara" starring Humphrey Bogart (Sgt. Joe Gunn) and Dan Duryea (Pvt. Jimmy Doyle). Do your best to defend the well against the German assault. Follow the rules of engagement in the briefing text. This scenario is best played as the American side.

COMBAT.ZIP
[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario] [Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Scenarios] [Panzerblitz!]

It's up to a squad from King Company to reconnoiter and sweep a small french village. Lt. Hanley and Sgt. Saunders lead the men of the squad on patrol to a small french village in the countryside. Perform a sweep of the village and check out all the victory point areas. Be on your toes!! Get your men in and out safely.

This mission is based on my favorite 1960s series called COMBAT! Each week Sgt. Saunders and/or Lt. Hanley would lead the squad in some adventure on the front lines. I have included all the men that appeared as regulars in that series, Braddock is the name of the character of the chubby fast talking man of the squad. Billy was a short term character. The only long term members of the squad were "Caje" (pronounced "cage" short for "Cajun" the french speaking soldier), Little John, Kirby (the B.A.R. man), and Doc (the medic) who was played by two different actors over the years. Doc is just there for accuracy, and he has no offensive capability.

I used some special hex editing of the file to create U.S. "sniper" class infantrymen and to get the proper graphic of a single soldier (something the editor doesn't let the U.S. have in the game.) I started with Russians and through patches to the data I converted them to U.S. nationality.

VAAGSO.ZIP

December 27, 1941, British commandos on their first large scaleraid supported by the guns of the cruiser HMS KENYA and the RAF attack the German occupied Norwegian coastal town of South Vaagso and the nearby islet of Maaloy. Divided into groups, each with its own mission.

Group 1 was to caputure the small village of Hollevik to west and march to South Vaagso and become part of a reserve.

Group 2 was to assault South Vaagso, destroy the German garrison, blow up the lighthouse to the south of town and nearby factory, then take the Ulvesund Hotel to the west of town, the radio station, power station, Firda factory and the herring oil factory to the north along the shore.

Group 3 was to deal with the remains of the German gun positions on the islet of Maaloy and the German Barrack there, then destroy the Mortenes Herring Oil factory to the northeast.

Firefight Series #1 - "The Little Wars" Despite the fact that the U.S.-made tank, called "Honey" by the British, was classified officially as a "light tank" it was an even match when compared to the Italian-made M13/40 "medium tank" which has been described as a "self-propelled coffin." This battle simulates a chance encounter in the Libyan desert between several troops of Honey tanks from the British 201st Guards Brigade and a force of M13/40 tanks from the Italialian Ariete Division during June, 1942.

Firefight Series #2 - "The Little Wars" Many small firefights that began as chance engagements where the forces involved were generally not the type you would find in a planned battle or were not equal in number or type. This battle simulates a firefight between a British M1 "Honey" light tank recon patrol from the 32nd Army Tank Brigade and an Afrika Korps 33rd Panzer Artillery Regiment supply column attempting sneak through a remote area in a British controlled sector of the Libyan desert. Your job as the British commander is to engage, destroy and/or delay the German column as long as you can. Most of all you must attempt to survive!

Firefight Series Battle #3 - The Little Wars, June 1942, Libya. Often after a larger engagement both sides would send out detachments to recover equipment damaged or disabled from the battlefield. Some of this equipment retrieved was even from "the other side". Any new equipment types recovered from the enemy were sent on to intelligence while other items were repaired and pressed into service by the new owners to supplement their diminished stocks of equipment. Sometimes opposing detachments would engage each other in fierce firefights to prevent the removal or destruction of material and equipment by the enemy.

In this battle a recovery detail from the British 4th Armored Brigade comprised of armor escort, engineers, infantry and their transports arrive on the scene of a battle that occurred earlier in the day. As dusk arrives elements of the 5th Panzer Regiment, 104th Panzer Grenadiers, 200th Panzer Engineer Battalion and a small detachement of infantry AT from the 155th Panzer Artillery Regiment arrive to recover their equipment from battlefield.

The prize of this encounter are the two new PzIVf2s types that had been disabled in the previous battle. TheBritish should try to recover these two units.

Firefight Series Battle #4 - The Little Wars, June 1942, Libya. In the early days of the desert war, Italian armored units often were engaged by heavy British Matilda II tanks. A small number of Matildas could often send a superior numerical force running or force a stalemate. The Italian M13/40 did have the advantage of speed while the Matilda II enjoyed heavy armor protection that soon earned it the name "Queen of the Desert". This engagement reenacts a "joust" between Italian Ariete Armored Division M-13/40s and British 7th Armored Division Matilda IIs. The M-13/40s enjoying superior numbers and speed vs. the Matilda II's heavier armor protection. The real challenge of this scenario is playing the British side.

Firefight Series Battle #5 - The Little Wars, Libya. May 27, 1942 The beginning of the fall of Tobruk to the Germans began with a brief but intense battle between the spearhead of the German 8th Panzer Regiment of the 5th Panzer Division and "B" Squadron British 4th Armored Brigade of the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment in the vicinity of Rema. The British lost all but one of their nine new lend-lease M-3 "Grant" tanks in the first fifteen minutes of the battle against overwhelming odds that amounted to nearly 100 German tanks descending upon them. Engage the spearhead of the German armor and blunt its thrust.

Firefight Series Battle #6 - The Little Wars, Libya. Often all-infantry engagements were fought in the desert where there was little if any cover at all. On May 26, 1942 Elements of the Afrika Korps' Group Cruewell, the 15th Rifle Regiment, and the Italian 10th Corps, the "Sabratha" Infantry Division mount a diversionary attack against the British lines, 3rd and 2nd South African Brigades, west of Tobruk near Gazala. Rommel intended that this attack draw the British armored reserves away from his real attack point to the south. The Italian attack was described as "half-hearted" according to one British account but the battle proved bloody albeit indecisive in its results.

AIRRAID.ZIP
[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario] [Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Scenarios] [Panzerblitz!]

Air Raid! Schwerdhofen! August 1944. Your units of combat engineers have been sent in advance with a platoon of M8s from a light recon outfit to observe a massive air strike against the Schwerdhofen rocket fuel plant in Germany. Schwerdhofen makes rocket fuel for the new "wunderwaffe" (wonder weapon) the Me-163 rocket fighter.

The area is heavily defended by 20mm FlaK guns from the 28th Luftwaffe Leichte (light) FlaK Regiment and 88mm FlaK guns from the 93rd Luftwaffe Schwere (heavy) FlaK Regiment. The town also contains elements of the 4th SS Polizei Panzergrenadier Division being used as a security force.

Your ground units should not move until the opening of the 11th turn. Use only your air power for the first 10 turns of the scenario. Don't waste them.

Except for the 4th SS Polizei Panzergrenadier Division all units depicted in this scenario and the town of Schwerdhofen are ficticious. Hint: The U.S. Player should spread out his aerial attack. It is better to send in the air assault in small waves rather than all at once or you may find the going extremely tough by the end of the battle.

THERMOP.ZIP
[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario] [Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Scenarios] [Panzerblitz!]

Thermopylae is best known for the heroic three-day delaying-action fought there in 480 B.C. by King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans along with 7,000 other Greeks against at least 200,000 Persians. The Pass then was a narrow chariot-width track between the mountain and the sea but by 1941 the sea had receded three miles and the position was far less defensible. The main road to Athens from Thessaly crossed the moutains by the Brallos Pass 10 miles west of Thermopylae, its initial climb coincided with the beginning of the Anopaea goat-track betrayed to the Persians by which they outflanked the defenders more than 2,000 years before.

The 6th Australian Division and the 2nd new Zealand Division resurrected the immortal name of the 1st Anzac Corps, which had fought 26 years before at Gallipoli. The New Zealanders held down the line on the slopes of Mount Olympus to the east near the town of Molos and the main road leading from the Pass at Thermopylea. The Australians held down the west end of the line on the slopes of Mt. Olympus near the Brallo Pass that led directly south from the town of Larnia in the north. The town of Brallos lay to the south of the pass along the western slopes of Mt. Olympus.Both roads crossed over the River Sperkhios that flowed into the Malian Gulf to the northeast.

The tanks of the 1st Armoured Brigade were mechanically unfit to perform any mobile actions against the oncoming German forces due to the arduous trek they had made in the preceeding days. The 6th New Zealand Infantry Brigade had the support of some 90 5.5 medium and 25pdr field guns. The Australian positions were supported by 2/2nd Australian Field Regiment.

The German forces consisted of elements of the German 40th Motorized Corps and the 2nd Panzer Division. The 5th Panzer Division was to storm up the Lamia-Athens road through the pass at Thermopylae with engineers, motorcyclists, and some of the new self-propelled guns. The German main thrust was to have gone through the Brallos Pass, but during the course of the battle the thrust was changed towards the town of Molos.

The German forces underwent heavy pinning fire from 25pdrs during the entire battle. Many German tanks were destroyed or so badly shot up by 2pdr anti-tank guns that they were useless.

The 1st Anzac Corps eventually fell back towards the south and escaped the oncoming German advance.

KHALKHIN.ZIP
[Next Scenario] [Previous Scenario] [Top] [Search] [Movies] [Sites] [Scenarios] [Panzerblitz!]

Sabre Rattling, Khalkhin-Gol, May 1939 Hirohito's Kwantung Army in Manchuria had disobeyed his direct orders in 1938 and caused a major incident with Russia with an unauthorized attack against Russian forces. The attack was finally brought to a halt by superior Russian numbers of armor and air power and fast political negotiations by the Japanese.

To "save face", Hirohito gave his army permission to prepare a more organized operation against the Russians in Mongolia near the Khalkhin-Gol river. The initial contact was made by a force of Inner Mongolian cavalry and their Japanese advisors.

The attack swiftly captured the village of Nomanhan just across the border. However the Russians were alerted and dispatched a force of cavalry of the Outer Mongolian People's Repulic to meet the invaders while and alert was sent to Moscow about the situation.

As Japanese commander you must deal with the Soviet forces against you, hold the village of Nomanhan, and capture the Soviet constabulary head quarters located 10 kilometers away across the Khalkhin-Gol river.

Russian drive on Stalino, August 19, 1943. When Russian forces had penetrated the German front it was often necessary to use an infantry blocking force to prevent other infantry units from being trapped.

As Russian commander you must utilize speed to maximize the breakthrough you have made in the German lines. Capture the victory points on the western edge of the map before time runs out. Don't get tied down in small scale battles that will deplete your forces.

Schutzmassnahme (Defense) - During the massive Soviet offensives of 1944 Russian "cavalry/tank" groups raised havoc in the rear areas of the German lines.

In this battle the German 580th Signals Regiment, elements of the 10th Flak Regiment, and the 286th Security Division are attacked by the 982nd Tank Regiment and units from the 371st Cavalry Regiment. Defend your installation with infantry and anti-tank guns against a superior armored force.

The Battle for Nhpum Ga Ridge, Burma, March 28, 1944, between the Japanese 18th Division, 56th Infantry Regiment, and two combat teams of the 5307th Compsite Unit (Provisional), better known as "Merrill's Marauders" by the press. CT "Blue" and CT "Green" commanded by Lt.Col. George A. McGee, held a defensive position on the flank of the Chinese 1st Provisional Tank Group commanded by Col. Rothwell H. Brown. The battle on a tree-clad rocky ridge held a key position in the way of the Japanese counter-offensive launched in response to the Allies attempt to clear the Hukawng and Moguang valleys so a road could be build between Ledo and Myitkyina and supplies wouldn't have to be flown over the "Hump" of the Eastern Himalayas. The Japanese failed to dislodge the Marauders in the real battle. As Japanese commander try to do what the real Japanese commander did not do.

September 12, 1944, "Huertgen Forest", U.S. 3rd Armored Combat Command B Task Force Lovelady, under the command of Lt. Col. William B. Lovelady, is the first Allied force to enter the area known as the "Huertgen Forest." The Task Force is pushing up a road surrounded by the dense forest towards the Stolberg Corridor when it comes upona village in a clearing in the forest.

Rules of Engagement are that the U.S. forces must remain on the road until they engage or are engaged by the enemy. U.S. forces should restrict themselves to maneuvering only in the "forest clearing" and should not penetrate the surrounding forest area more than one hex in depth.

Assault On The "Scharnhorst Line", the first line of defense of the German fortifications known as the Siegfried Line along its borders with the Netherlands, by a Task Force Doan, led by Col. Leander Doan, U.S. 3rd Armored Division, Combat Command A. Under shelling and heavy machine gun fire, 3rd Armored engineers clear a path through the dragons teeth and mines so Task Force Doan can punch its way through the German defenses before any reinforcements can arrive. Germans put up heavy resistance and refused to give an inch under heavy pressure. The Germans did receive some minor reinforcements before they finally cracked.

September 15, 1944, Task Force Lovelady pushes its way past the first defense line of the Siegfried Line and up the "Stolberg Corridor". Before it lay a small defile bordered on the left by a hill crowned by a factory and on the right by the skirt of the Huertgen Forest. In the first few minutes of battle Task Force Lovelady lost six of its Shermans and retired to village to await reinforcements and infantry the next day. See if you can push your armored spearhead up the valley and accomplish what the real American commander was unable to do. This battle is "short and sweet" so you don't have all day to maneuver.

The Beleagured 39th Infantry, 9th Div, 7th Corps, was part of the U.S. Army assigned to penetrate the Siegfried Line. It's mission was to sweep the central part of the Huertgen Forest and link up with the 47th Infantry near Schevenhuette by advancing up the Monschau Corridor from the town of Monschau through the forest.

Having fought its way through the forest, its strength severely sapped by the endevour, the 39th had one of its battalions detached to other duties in a rear area. After receiving armor reinforcements the 39th Infantry was assigned to take the ridge east of the town of Lammersdorf. This ridge was dominated by the town of Rollesbroich and was held firmly in the the hands of the German 89th Infantry Division. The assault failed when the exhausted men of the 39th were unable to cross the last few hundred yards of open ground. You must take the town of Rollesbroich if you can.
