| Quote (Legion 4 @ 24 2003 Aug.,00:21) | Like I said, I like the concept of weekly scenarios...
This sounds like Kursk!  |
I was thinking more along the lines of a sweeping tank battle on the North African plains myslef...
Yes Maksim, I'm saving them

Yes, but North Africa (one of my favorite theaters of study), never had the numbers of the Eastern Front. ?
However, they give you a wide berth for terrain set-up!
Sand dunes, ash waste piles, rolling hill etc., it's up to you...  ?
BTW, I was deployed to the desert 2 or 3 times...
Hate IT! ?Hate IT!

Hey ALL of Northern and Central Australia is desert....yuko 
I agree the massed armour battles of the Eastern Front are without parrallel, but the terrain was the memory trigger for me...
I'd LOVE to play a realistic scale Kursk game with all the defences, minefields etc. Finally I could use ALL my superheavy armour in the same battle!

Well the closest I want to get to a desert is my "Abydos" terrain pieces! ?
If I ever get to your side of the planet, we'll stay near your wonderful beaches, Tas! ?
Well the big Tank bash at Prokhorovka during the Kursk battles, 5-17 July 1943, 700 AFVs of the German 4th Panzer Army met 850 tanks of the 5th Guards Tank Army...
That would be a very BIG Epic battle! ?

A cursory calculation shows that tread to tread, such a force would blanket a tennis court!?
Never mind the cost and time to paint them!

Well, let's just stick to smaller scenarios from ASL, Tank, etc., that deal with just parts of the battle. ?
At least we could play those on a reasonably sized table instead of a football field!

...and having the digital pics to prove it!
Actually you wouldn't need to have all the units anyway. The first units can be recycled as Turn 4's reinforcements etc. as you could pretty safely assume they wont be there on the table anymore.
And this would be truely Germanic too:
Hitler had some tanks drive by the crowds two or three times at the Munich Rallies to make it look like he has more armour strength than he really did!

Rommel did the same thing when he first landed in North Africa to deceive the British agents as to the size of this force... ?
Sneaky lot, those Nazis...

Indeed they were...of course Rommel was no Nazi but that is so OT is belongs in another forum
Back OT, this week's offering really is Eastern Front style. Check out the "thronging masses" special rule...wow!

Sadly it looks like this may be the last one being put up- there are no unused slots in the EA section and the campaign concludes soon. Still, they were nice while they lasted.

| Quote (MaksimSmelchak @ 23 2003 Aug.,16:56) | Is anyone going to archive or otherwise save these scenarios in case they remove the web site after the EoT campaign ends?
Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak. |
I have been converting them to Word documents whenever I have had some time to spare. At present I have the first five scenarios saved.
