| Town of Drvar, Yugoslavia (best played against a human opponent). Operation R��elsprung has begun!! The SS Fallschirmj�ger Battalion 500 has been tasked with capturing the Yugoslav partisan Marshal Tito. This (the seventh) major offensive against the well-equipped Yugoslav partisans has led to the town of Drvar, the national training facility for the partisans. Deep in the mountains of Yugoslavia, the SS Fallschirmj�ger will drop in with support from the 13th SS Mountain Division and the 202nd Beute-Panzer Battalion. Opposing them are the NOVJ Security Forces defending Drvar and Comrade Tito from capture, though many partisan groups are in the area. Once the paras hit Drvar, the partisans' desperate radio pleas for assistance are answered with several formations of partisan and Chetnik troops. My thanks again to Steve von Niemack for the great OOB info. DESIGNER'S NOTES: The Yugoslav forces are fixed for the first turn to simulate the surprise the Germans achieved. However, the Germans were not prepared for the ferocity of the town's defense, and I have reflected this in the higher morale of the Yugoslav troops. Also I needed to take a few liberties with the exact composition of a partisan/Chetnik Brigade as info was a little sketchy. Also, as no reports of the paras using anti-tank weaponry existed (i.e. Panzerfaust/schreck) I have made them early rather than late-war types to reflect this. |

| Town of Askim, Norway-"The �stfold" (best played against a human opponent) Shortly after the invasion of Norway, the Germans forces found themselves advancing quickly against the Norwegian defenders. Through a series of blunders on the Norwegian side having to do with communications, the Germans were having an easy time of it. An important though small action occurred near Askim in the �stfold (the south-eastern part of Norway). It might have changed the ease of the German conquest had the Norwegians done things differently. Askim was defended by some ad-hoc infantry and srtillery with more artillery support from the nearby H�ytorp Fortress. In actuallity they lost the battle mainly due to misinterpereted orders and complacency. Can the Norwegian commander hold the line against the Germans long enough to change history?? DESIGNER'S NOTES: Again my thanks to Steve von Niemack for allowing me to use his map. I have attempted to simulate the disorganized Norwegian command structure by my unusual placement of the Norwegian troops rather than making them 'fixed' troops. |
