Neben FitE habe ich derzeit eine 2te toaw Partie gegen Bismarck laufen, die Kampagne in Nord Afrika. Ein grosses, langes aber dennoch extrem überschaubares Scenario.
http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenarii/map/Campaign%20for%20North%20Africa%20(Complete).jpg
Überschaubar deshalb weil sich alles an den Stränden Nordafrikas abspielt.
Die 6 Akte kopiere ich einfach mal aus der Scenario Beschreibung heraus:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. The First Round (June 1940 - February 1941)
This period included Graziani's poorly supplied offensive into Egypt in September. The Italians halted after advancing less than 60 miles to Sidi Barrani. In November, O'Connor launched his "five-day raid". It turned into a complete rout of the Italians. The Commonwealth advanced over 400 miles in 61 days, and destroyed ten Italian divisions. But the Axis invasion of Greece caused Churchill to strip O'Connor of much of his force for the support of the Greeks and his offensive stalled.
2.2. Rommel's First Offensive (March - October 1941)
The arrival of the Germans under Rommel allowed the Axis to take advantage of the Commonwealth weakness. His offensive blitzed all the way to the Egyptian border, and included capturing O'Connor. But Tobruk held out. While Rommel laid siege to Tobruk the Commonwealth launched the unsuccessful "Battleaxe" offensive in June.
2.3. The Winter Campaign (November 1941 - June 1942)
In November, the Commonwealth launched the successful "Crusader" offensive, which pushed Rommel back to El Agheila. But in December, the Japanese entered the war. Again, the Commonwealth forces were shipped off to other points. And again, Rommel took advantage. He quickly swept back to a line anchored at Gazala.
2.4. Rommel's Second Offensive (June - July 1942)
The Battle of Gazala, in June, forced the Commonwealth forces to fall back into Egypt, leaving a garrison at Tobruk, as before. But this time, the garrison fell, with 35,000 prisoners. Rommel pressed on, and the first battle of El Alamein was fought in July. Rommel was stopped at Ruweisat ridge.
2.5. The Alamein Line (August - November 1942)
At this point, the Commonwealth commander was replaced with Montgomery. Rommel's last-chance offensive began in August. He was stopped at Alam Halfa ridge. The second battle of El Alamein began in October. Montgomery's 1917-style tactics broke the depleted Axis defense. In addition, "Operation Torch" deposited a huge Allied army in Morocco and Algeria on November 8th. Rommel had to retreat.
2.6. The Great Retreat (November - December 1942)
Rommel made a brief stand at Fuka, but had to fall back to Tunisia no matter what. By the first week of January, 1943, the Axis forces were completely off the map of this scenario, into Tripolitania.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wir befinden uns in Runde 10 und damit noch im ersten Akt (fett gedruckt). Die italienische Offensive (gelber Text) war erfoglreich und bis Runde 25 hält nun der Waffenstillstand an welcher mit dem Angriff von O´Connor enden wird der eine verherende Niederlage der Italiener hevorbrachte.
Ich rechne mit Ähnlichem, werde aber daran arbeiten es nicht ganz so schlimm werden zu lassen :)
So sieht es derzeit aus:

Die drei roten Kreise markieren übrigens die notwendigen Ziele der it. Offensive; wären diese innerhalb der ersten 5 Runden nicht erobert worden, wäre die Partie sofort mit einem Sieg der Briten geendet.
Man sieht auch das 99% der it. Einheiten gelb markiert, sprich im Garnisionsstatus, sind; ein Effekt des Waffenstillstandes. So ist es nicht möglich sich auf den brit. Gegenangriff vorzubereiten.
Findige Augen erkennen auch den logistischen "Nightmare", es gibt kein Schienennetz und nur eine ausgebaute Strasse.
/Randnotiz: Schön das man mal mit einem Screenshot auskommt :)
