Assault on Brecourt Manor (Sign Up)

[johnmasterson]

Wasn't sure EXACTLY where to post this, couldn't find the info on it. So if this has to be moved, feel free too.

Anyway, I've constructed a map. All I'd have to do is put players' starting positions.

The scenario is simple. The Germans have four 105mm Howitzers gunning down Utah Beach, and they are to keep the guns from being destroyed.

The Americans are to assault the battery, and knock out all four cannons, and kill/capture any Germans encountered.

Anyone from either Axis or Allies may sign up below.


Also, here's the map.

OK, as I'm the first to see this, I have to post this.

This is more or less along the lines of an Epic Battle, and well they can only be started by a Staff Member or a General, not to be harsh, but you are neither.

If this is able to slip by and NOT be an epic battle, the fact that you have already placed German units IS God Modding, not to mention, the Germans must bring their own equipment for a hostile thread.

I'm locking this for the time being, any Staff Member has the power to unlock it for further development on the issue.

I am staff, no? If you're willing to wait until next weekend, I'll help you iron all of this out and run it.

And certainly, if another staff member volunteers to do this, then I'll join. PM me, Baker, and give me the spiel and then I'll make a final decision on what to do.

Right,

This is going to be unlocked, and I shall run it as an Epic Battle, so it shall be moved to the correct forum.

The beach landing at Utah has been successful, and Allied soldiers have swarmed onto the French hinterland, but a problem is still facing them. A German installation of four 105mm Howitzers about three miles inland has the soldiers pinned.

To counter this, a small platoon of soldiers has been sent up against the Germans to try and force a break in the shelling. Failure here, would almost certainly result in the beachhead at Utah to be lost, and a hole made in the Allied lines.

Objectives:

Allied:[/b][/u]

• Take out the German Howitzers
  
• Create a gap in the shelling large enough for support to be sent up from the beach
  
  Axis:

[/u]

[/li][li] Repulse the Allied forces

[/li][li] Stall the forces long enough for reinforcements to be brought in from another sector

[/li][li] Keep artillery pressure on the landing forces

Units:

Allied:[/b][/u]

• CO –
  
  
• NCO – Sergeant Baker
  
  2 NPC Sergeants
  1 NPC Corporal
  6 NPC Privates
  
  Axis:

[/u]

[/li][li] CO –

[/li][li] NCO –

35 NPCs
[/li][/ul]

Gear Supplied:

Allied:[/b][/u]

• 2x .30 Calibre machine guns
  
  
• All members and NPCs get a grenade
  
  
• All members have enough plastic explosives to take out 1 Howitzer
  
  Axis:

[/u]

[/li][li] 3x MG42 emplacements, shown on the map

[/li][li] One radio of a size where it can’t be carried on a soldier’s back, so two hands must be used.

[/li][li] All members and NPCs have a grenade[/li][/ul]

The map will be used as a reference, but you won’t post it, instead PMing me your movements if you feel it is neccesery. I will update it over time to show the Howitzers being damaged, if they are and if any men make themselves particularly obvious to the enemy.

The battle is going to be a very hard one for the Allies, but if the right moves are used, then a victory can be made with light losses.

Also, we will be wanting an extra Allied and Axis member to sign up as support. There is no guarantee they will be called in, however.

Hey Guys,
I'm going to lock this real momentarily until it's been discussed. There are a few things conflicting this Epic Battle Campaign from continuing. Primarily, because there was another one pre-planned with several battles ready to take place soon.

With all hope, this will be open again properly and an official sign-up will emerge.
Hang in there,
