New scenario: Wittmann at Villers-Bocage

By prvdwal, in Tide of Iron

Hi,

I've just posted a new scenario to be playtested.
I hope some people still notice it with all talk about the new expansion going on. happy.gif

The scenario is about Michael Wittmann's famous battle at Villers-Bocage.
It uses all the mapboards of the base set and almost all of the overlays and it is 12 turns long.
You'll also need the British units from DotF.

I was working on this scenario for ASL some years ago, which was as close to the actual battle as possible.
But I never finished it and stopped playing ASL.
Now, I have converted it for TOI. I had to make a lot of compromises because TOI just can't handle the scale.

I have playtested this once and found it was too easy for the Germans.
So I've made some changes to compensate for this. I hope some of you can do some further tests for me.

I made my own scenario-PDF because the official editor still doesn't support DotF.
If there are any questions, please let me know!

Notes:

The US Command Points markers on the map should actually be British but the editor doesn't support them.
The Crusaders should actually have been Cromwells but they are not available.

Have fun...

HI!

Your scenario sound very interesting. I will try to play it soon and I will let you know how it went.

Hi!

I have two questions concerning your scenario.

First: Concerning the HIDDEN squads, you say that if there is an ennemy squad in an adjacent hex they became CONCEALED. Do you mean at any time or just at the end of a round?

Second: Can I put HIDDEN squads on Op fire? (Guess yes...) And what happen when i fire with the squad; are they reaveled or they are now considered CONCEALED?(firing again will cause them to be reaveled).

Thank you, sir.
