NOW PLAYING: Posted by Corregidor

BATTLE OF THE BRIDGEHEAD by Brummbar44. Western Front.

When I posted it I called it: D-DAY+1 Battle of the Bridgehead. It looks vanilla, but it's a 50% scenario!



AARs: 162, 50% Allies!
Online mine: 45x, 40% Allies,
Online his: 35x, 54% Allies.

After you play a human opponent, write an AAR.

KASSERINE Pass, A Mediterranean Front scenario in North Africa. It's an unclassified official scenario by SirWillibald.
This isn't my favorite, but some people seem to like it, judging by the 3 stars. I've shortened the name to Kasserine in the SFTF since others have posted their own Kasserine Pass scenarios.


Steep Hill Rules are in effect.

It's rather difficult as Allies, and I'd prefer to play with Air Rules to help them, but that's not available Online.

AARs: 118, Allies 34%
Online: 32x, Allies 19%

It finally dropped to 2 stars in December.
It's not very popular.

"So much toys, so little time, i mean only 5 medals !"

" Wouldnt 6 medals be bether for this one ? "

I tried to post this scenario some time ago, but got an error message when it started. Recently I found someone incorporated the 2-medal Elite Tank rule that I thought wasn't supported. Either I made a mistake, or the rule was fixed in the game.

MONT MOUCHET W/ROADS

I didn't play Mont Mouchet very much, but I thought it might be fun to play the Air Pack version with roads (no Air Rules) a few times.

SAINT-SAUVEUR-LE-VICOMTE
"Cutting the Cotentin"

SFTF - by jdrommel.

I don't post this one very much, since the English rules were changed to match the French which has differing medal requirements and Allied Air Strikes, making the Allies overpowering, IMHO. However, it's the anniversary of the battle, so what the hey.

In order to make the double-bridge work Online, river hexes were changed to prevent units from "jumping" on or off. Also, rice paddies are identical to marshes; the former works - the latter do not, so they replace marshes.

A while back I discovered the Audie Murphy official campaign scenarios by jdrommel for face-to-face play. I found the Online game could handle only a couple scenarios due to special rules. One is now available as an official scenario: Mignano Monte Lungo
*************************
AUDIE MURPHY: ALPHA YELLOW

The other Audie Murphy scenario that works Online is Alpha Yellow, Operation Dragoon, landing in the South of France.



I posted this in my buddy's spot Dec-May 2013, but it wasn't very popular, only being played against human players 40x.

Note: an empty bunker on a hill won't block line of sight. This might not occur, since the artillery will be really difficult to eliminate, but it could happen.

There's an Audie Murphy scenario that can sort of be made to work, but in order to do it some weird stuff must be set up. People who don't read rules don't get it. Because of this I usually won't post it, but will invite some people who I've played several times.

QUARRY OF CLEURY

The rules state the Allies must make 4 kills (not counting snipers) and capture the temporary medal site (a Required medal). If they kill 5,6,etc. they don't win until they get the medal. The Germans just need 5 kills.

In order to make this work and end at the same Victory Points(V.P.s), it has to be 8 V.P.s; so if Allies kill all 7 medal-producing units, they still don't win.
The Germans will start with 3 Permanent Medals, so they need 5 kills.
If the Allies kill 4 and take the medal site, it needs to be worth 4 V.P.s, which is why it has a Russian and British symbol on it.

Note: Rules say that Snipers cannot shoot tanks, but glitch allows them to Ambush tanks. Try not to let this happen in your game.

After losing this in a recent face-to-face tournament, I kind of want to play it some more.

I'm posting another scenario in my friend's spot:

HOLDING THE FORT AT CLERVAUX
http://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44/editor/view/?id=5523
by jdrommel for the French Open 2009.

In his scenario, the Air Power card is removed from the game. This hurts the Allies, who already are on the defensive. In the Online version Air Power is replaced by Artillery Bombard (like Suomussalmi, etc.)

Note: I was going to post D-DAY +1 "Battle of the Bridgehead" (see above), but I found Corregidor is already posting it, so I've got up "Kasserine" for a couple weeks instead.
