Panzer Battles of the Waffen SS

This is a scenario pack designed for the West Front 6 mod for Close Combat 3. They are mainly short, violent  armored engagements with some infantry support. So if you're not a treadhead.....well, the grunts do sometimes pull out some suprising results. Almost all Infantry units in these scenarios have excellent anti-armor capabilities.
You will need the following maps :

Verrieres Ridge... By Cathartes..--for "HJ Attacks" 
Stonne 1...By Dreaded88---for "Death of Whittmann"
Hedges 1...By Dreaded88---for "Tychsen Rescue"
Hedges 3...ByDreaded88---for "Falaise..the End"

All of these maps are availiable at the CSO Clan site------
www.sarexus.com/closecombat/indexa.html

These scenarios are designed for solo play against the computer and are designed to be played as the Germans. 
Recommended settings are : Difficulty =Hero
                           Realism : Player = 100% Grog  ( no boxes                                                                checked)
                                     Enemy = 75% Hollywood  (check-                                                   always obey orders)

Each scenario has its own special rules and timer settings. Since many of the maps are  from "free deploy" and may have strange deployment zones, it's a good idea to check out the map before reading the battle briefings. The Battle briefings will tell of these specific rules as well as the mission and  Victory Conditions. The Operation briefings will give a short overview or history of the action. In most cases the outcome displayed by the computer at the end of the game( ie; Major Victory, Minor Defeat, ect) are meaningless; the scenarios are "won" or "lost" depending upon fulfillment of the Victory conditions. Each scenario is a challenge and players are expected to play with a spirit of honesty; If you cheat the special rules knowingly, you will derive much less enjoyment from these games. Satisfaction will come from overcoming the tough odds and accomplishing a mission no matter what.

Place the four scenarios  into your  Games/ Battles folder. Read the Whittmann Read Me for a fine account of Whittman's last attack by Panzermeyer.

Special thanks to all the map and mod makers out there...without you this game would be dead and gone...
