Scenario

[wulfir]

Gross Sabin, Pommerania,
Germany,
March 1, 1945 -

The (Polish) LWP 2nd and 6th Divisions have not been able to break the German defences near Gross Sabin when a mounted charge by troops of the 1st 'Warsaw' Cavalry Brigade breach the German line at the nearby village of Schönfeld...

...the surprising move is claimed by some to have been the last cavalry charge of the Polish army...

Three times have the Vicy French holding Saint Cloud thrown back the Americans of the 18th Regimental Combat Team, the 1st Infantry Division's drive on Oran has stalled because of this...

...Greer, commanding the 18th Infantry, deploys all artillery availiable to him, fully intent on taking Saint Cloud with the fourth attack...

November 13, 1944,
Svinesund,
Swedish-Norwegian border-

Operation Rädda Norge has begun. Following Finland's exit from the war the Swedish army is launched into Norway to open a window to the west.

Included in the Swedish order of battle are several battalions of Norwegian volunteers fielded under the deliberately misleading “Police Troops title”. They are in fact organized and equipped as regular infantry.

Although the Norwegian leadership is apprehensive about the prospect of making Norway into a battlefield the Norwegian troops themselves are enormously motivated for the task of fighting the occupier of their native land.

For the assault across the Ringdalsfjord the Norwegians of Bataljon III. and IV. will play the leading role...

(Fictional scenario...)

Just FYI the last two bunkers you put in have ATR's with HE ammo only.....guessing that was not your intention and I have corrected them for the patch but right now they are shooting marshmallows

Was this map built using the Venhola program?

(Shhhh......don't tell anyone but there are a number of new terrain types being added to both games in the next patch ----snowy and not so snowy winter maps really benefit but there are summer/desert changes and additions too...... I FINALLY got the time to do some REAL work not non stop OOB drudgery)

Yes!

I use it for all maps nowadays. Even with near flat maps the grid system is worth gold - some locations in for example the Netherlands have basically no elevation, still the program helps with the locations of coastlines, canals, villages etc within the 200x160 size.

The new terrain looks great!

Looks good for Italian maps.

It shows........... most maps people make don't "light up" the mini map contours or put the streams in like that so I guessed it had been used. If you have any other maps laying around that were created with that program I would be happy to add them to the patch.

Thanks, it's been an interesting month or so....when the inspiration sparks that's the time to exploit it.... We really don't know for sure just what the limit for this game .we know what the number say it should be but we haven't hit the wall......yet. However, we have exceeded the limit for Ter SHP files but Andy was able to find a way to allow sets to be piggy-backed. So who knows I might get inspired again I have a number of promising experiments in my test folder( not too inspired for stone walls though....never saw the point and still don't).
