Timmon · 12-04-2006, 01:13 AM

Fellow gamers,

Below is the briefing for my first scenario. Its historical, and based mostly on memoirs of Panzer Ace Otto Carius.

Scenario map is made of 9 custom maps. Forces are 349 points of german defenders, and 575 points of russian attackers.

Scenario & maps are available for download at
http://www.immonen.liitin.net/timo.htm and also possibly at
http://24.150.163.38/pasalades/Timo/

Zip file pdf.zip contains the maps, and scenario itself is in zip file Defense of Lembitu, briefing, units & deployment.zip, as excel worksheet.

Any comments are welcome, and Ill try to answer questions too, the deployment orders may be bit unclear if you are not able to lay out the maps first.

Thank you for Pasalades for additional hosting.

Happy gaming,

Timo

Campaign: Panzer Ace Otto Carius
Scenario: Defense of Lembitu
Date: March, 1944
Location: Near village of Lembitu, North east Estonia, south of Narwa Bridgehead held by SS-panzercorps.

Situation:
By OKW orders, an SS-panzercorps is holding a bridgehead over Narwa River outside the town of Narwa in northern Estonia. Bridgehead is to be used for eventual counter-offensive towards Leningrad.

A narrow coastal strip west of town of Narwa, with a highway, is still occupied by germans, and connects the brigdehead to the rest of the german line in Estonia.

Soviet troops have inflitrated over the Narwa river along a swampy area thought to be impassable, and pushed the front line protecting Narwa corridor northwards. Near town of Lembitu it now runs approximately along the Narwa - Waivara rail line.

Defence against the threat created by soviet infiltration are elements of 61th infantry division, Feldherrnhalle division and attached units of 502 Schwere Abteilung. Leutnant Otto Carius is commanding the tiger detachment of 502nd on the area.

German mission
Enemy assault must be contained within our lines. Any break through north towards sea coast immediately risks encirclement of our SS-panzercorps defending Narwa bridgehead.

Soviet mission
German aggressors must be punished for their stubborn occupation of Narwa bridgehead. We must overrun defences here as quickly as possible, and advance north and cut supply of Germans in Narwa region. Bypassing resistance is our primary objective.

Aftermath

Soviet barrage created some panic and unauthorized withdrawals in german line. Strongpoints near eastern rail crossing were abandoned or destroyed. Soviet armor started to roll over the railway embankment and fan out to the plain of Lembitu.

Otto Carius, leading his two Tigers, arrived at scene when first T-34's were already north of Lembitu. Carius engaged AT-guns at railway embankment, while the other tiger concentrated on soviet armor pushing past shattered defences.

After destroying several AT-guns, Carius engaged each soviet tank crossing the rail line, while hosing the soviet infantry with machine gun fire.

After all soviet tanks on the plain were destroyed, battalion strenght soviet infantry began retreating from the plain, but occupied several strongpoints north of the rail line.

Tigers repulsed several additional attempts by soviet tanks to force the crossing. Only late in the afternoon did the german artillery smash the soviet attack formations assembling behind the railway embankment, bringing the day's fighting to end.

Hastily created battlegroups of german infantry tried to recapture strongpoints and form a line during the evening, while tigers took turns resupplying at regimental HQ.

This is an excellent looking scenario (Now that I can open it). I can only assume you have a prebuilt forces list but do not see it listed.
