Good Morning,
1st, I'm really sorry to send my mission without any explications, but, I was really impatient to post it, on my point of view saturday night was a good dead line for me.
Note that, yesterday afternoon, I got a krach system of the editor with a lost of 95% of the final script... due to a error in the final text script.
So, the time past to check the script with one of my back-up mission, should have been affected to write the final text explications, the resume and brief of mission...etc.
There are 5 objectives and 2 optionnals.
No conditions of defeat / no conditions of victory (cause, if; you stay behind the river; you can not spend it again. I thought it was intuitive enough).
And to be honest, I need to past 1 or 2 hours to manage well theses conditions.
Other point : think in French, write in english and script in russian with the russian editor and for my first mission, is not really easy to do...
The goals here :
(this objective appaers when you go to the central cross road of the second village at right of your position in the begining of mission)
STEP 1 to 5:
SECURE A PERIMETER
a) Hold the bridges
Secure the road
c) Hold the villages of Saint Lambert and Moissy.
d) Place your new HQ and the goup of the 6 officers in the Church here. (put the cease fire option for this group)
d) Explication : in the historic conditions and situation, note that you are in a valley.
The hood of Gouffren where our units are posted was the only point to hide an army.
The only high level point of this valley was the church of Saint-Lambert. From the church bell tower, the HQ gen . Eberbach, Hausser...etc. From here, the HQ held the better point of view at 360 degres of the valley.
As like a control tower, from this point, the HQ arranged the passage priority of all the units in retreat.
This church was effectively on the front line, the Gen. Hausser and Efeldt had been injured here.
The last meeting of the HQ has been held in this church. During this meeting the desicion to force the blocus has been taken.
For the same reasons, you need to change the HQ at the step 5.
STEP 2 of 5:
TRUN
a) Secure TRUN, the big town on the West
Secure the road, hold the town
c) Wait for the convoys in retreat - 2 convoys are expected
STEP 3 of 5:
YOUR RIGHT FLANK
a) Secure LE BOURG SAINT LEONARD, the big town on the South-S.E. (not west)
Secure the road, hold the town
c) Wait for the convoys in retreat - 3 convoys are expected
STEP 4 of 5 :
FLANK and CROSS ROAD in CHAMBOIS
STOP the Counter strike !
Due to the traffic line and the number of units, you need to secure the main roads East-west and from CHAMBOIS to the North
a) fight on Chambois, secure and hold as long as is possible and degage the road to the north
Save the General EFELDT (optionnal)
c) Take the reserve of fuel in the factory (optionnal)
STEP 5 of 5:
EVACUATION ! THE RUSH !
Time to escape, fight the blocus !
you are 3 differents doors of exit from the battlefield on the East-North E. (with the nazis flags)
a) change your HQ (group of generals and officers) to the villa in the village of LA COURS DU BOSCQ (red flag)
you need to force the way, hold and destroy the enemy positions on COUDEHARD and the Farm of BOIJOS to the east !
c) organize your retreat
Last point, if you want to follow the historic conditions, keep in reserve the 3e Fall div. for the final rush and the strike of the last village at the step 5.
Obligations :
Do the 1st objective
after, you can do what you want, reach directly the 5 step (but, it's no really funny) or follow the 2nd or the 3rd or the 4th as like you want.
My main idea was to offer you a free possibility of movement, a free possibility of strategic decision.
THE ONLY THING is do not follow 2 or 3 objectives on the same time, cause possible krach system.
So, make a save game at each time before a decision of movement, when you have crossed the river.
About the historic conditions :
You are the complete brief on this :
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%8B%...D1%82%D0%B0_262In a few words :
Final step of the normandy campaign 44, the last counter strike "operation luttich" again the US position to Mortain on the West normandy front failed
The US patton 3rd army and the 1st US army turn and cut the retreat by the South to East North East with a movement circular in "C".
The 1st Canadian Army arrive by the North. By the West the 2nd Brit. Army.
The Germans are almost encircled and the junction point is the Hill to the north of the map. Your job is to escape from this valley by a movement east north east, the final objective is to cross the Seine river.
On the map, the allied forces are :
North West : 1st canadians army with : (2nd Inf. Div + 4th Tank Div) - North (1st Poland Tank Div)
South : 1st US army with the 90th Inf Div
West : 2nd French tank Div.
The first opportunity of encirclement was lost during the pocket falaise battle; the second one is the map that I suggest you to play here.
have fun and give me your fisrt sensations, there is almost 5 hours of play.
have a nice afternoon
