Kampfgruppe Richter in Budel. Dilemma, fight the allies or retreat?
A Very British Civil War
Note: this is clearly a “what-if” scenario, loosely based on the bustling miniatures war gaming off-shoot of the same name. Outstanding work has been done by Solway Crafts and Miniatures, and I credit them with the brilliance of this war gaming theme.
Background
England, May 1938 (designer note: note the in-game calendar notes “1944”; this is only to create the optics of lush green environment of the British Isles)
Weather: overcast, mild, dry
The very social fabric of Great Britain was torn during the apocalypse that was The Great War. The mightiest empire on the globe ended victorious, but at what cost? The rigid social hierarchy was shaken, and the world wide waves of social change did not stop at the English Channel. Class structure, worker’s rights, regional animosities have all brewed in the decades following the Great War. This has all been exacerbated by the crippling economic crisis of the 1930s, to which the ever cautious government responded to by constricting public spending ever more.
In May 1937, King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom married Wallis Simpson. The marriage to Wallis was not supported by Stanley Baldwin, the British Prime Minister; and King Edward refused to abdicate. This marriage left the British government, and most of the people, alienated; and public hatred for King Edward and Queen Wallis rose. Parliament was torn, and in the general election of 1937, Baldwin was defeated. The Conservative party, ripped by the issue of King Edward’s marriage, as well as economic and regional tensions, broke apart, and a large segment of the Tory support went to the British Union of Fascists. Oswald Mosley’s promise to ensure public order, and shore up the Empire, resonated with a public tired of public disturbances, strikes in essential services, and the economic malaise. The Labour party too split, with the more radical sections forming their own splinter parties which ran their own candidates. The 1937 election results saw a fractured parliament, and although only winning slightly over 200 seats, and less than 30% of the vote, the BUF formed the largest caucus in the House of Commons. King Edward VIII asked Oswald Mosely to form a government. Mosley did so and almost immediately issued “Orders of Council”, outlawing strikes, restricting collective bargaining, and establishing new offences for unauthorized public gatherings, and publishing “any article intended to alarm the public”. Any opposition was swiftly responded to, if not by the police, then by Mosely’s own BUF Blackshirts, the BUF’s paramilitary wing.
In January 1938, a protest by Dockyard workers in Liverpool was brutally crushed by the BUF and elements of the Regular Army; and violent clashes began across the country; between the Kings troops and those of several other factions. The British Civil War has begun!

Factions: The outbreak of conflict led several groups to attempt to seize the country or their own personal goals. Major factions included:
On the Right (Axis in this scenario
* The Edwardian Army – elements of the professional Army, bound to King Edward VIII.
* The Royal Navy and Royal Marines – bound by tradition and culture to remain loyal to the reigning monarch, and the majority have done so.
* The British Union of Fascists (or “BUF”) – the dominant political party, led by Oswald MOSLEY and heavily backed by German and Italian interests. Mosley has garnered considerable support in his efforts to restore order internally and restore the status of Britain’s Empire
* The Mosley Youth – a “social club” of young men, who have been drilled and armed by unknown sources, and have formed para-military units to push the BUF agenda.
* Foreign Volunteer Units: after the recruiting of numerous foreign elements to fight in the Spanish Civil War, similar detachments have been formed to back those with similar agendas in the British Civil War. Contingents from other fascist and imperialist sympathizers have been formed. Here we will see the presence of the “Hanoverian Legion”, volunteers from Germany, who are backing the Edwardian and BUF efforts
On the Left (Allied in this scenario)
* The Albertine Army – elements of the regular forces, plus most of the “Territorial Army”, backing the young Prince Albert’s claim to the throne.
* The Anglican League - A large army led by a group of bishops and archbishops, they were aligned with the Albertine Army. Many are veterans of the Great War.
* The People’s Party Army - Made up of disillusioned Labour party supporters, disgruntled workers and Spanish Civil War veterans, they are seeking to turn Britain into a Socialist state based upon Lenin's Russia.
* The Farmer’s Union: radical small plot farmers and farm working hands, seeking better pay, price subsidies, and land redistribution. They are heavily influenced by Marxist doctrine.
* The Student’s Union: like students before and after them, the university students have ramparts to thwart whomever they view as authoritarian,
* Foreign Volunteer Units: after the recruiting of numerous foreign elements to fight in the Spanish Civil War, similar detachments have been formed to back those with similar agendas in the British Civil War. Groups of Americans, Canadians, and ANZAC units have been formed; here we will see the Lafayette Battalion, formed of French volunteers, many fresh from the savage fighting in Spain.
This scenario occurs in the West Coast port town of Twaddlemore. Twaddlemore is the home base for a small Royal Navy destroyer flotilla, as well as being a mid-sized port for international commerce. Given that the United Kingdom lives or dies based on this freedom to trade overseas, the port is vital to all in this conflict. The Royal Navy, which for the most part has remained loyal to King Edward VIII, dispatched the flotilla two days ago to join the rest of the fleet, tasked with stemming the flow of foreign volunteers coming to fight for their faction of choice. Many of these foreigners have come directly from fighting for the Nationalists or the Republicans in Spain, who have endured two years of their own brutal Civil War already.
Yesterday the dock workers, who are heavily influenced by communist agents and are affiliated with the People’s Party, refused to move armaments stored in the dock warehouses. Instead, they armed themselves and fighting broke out when security staff sought to control the situation. Who opened fire first is both in dispute and a moot point at this juncture. A company of the Army’s Provost Corps was rushed to Twaddlemore by train, but a bomb was used to derail the trail just outside of town. Multiple factions are either in town currently or rumoured to be headed this way. The Telephone Exchange is the key to communicating with the rest of the country, and is clearly a goal to secure. Likewise, the docks and the armaments stored there in are also of immense value. Lastly, the mysterious new Wireless Tower being built on the south shore is of unknown value, as the work crews are from “away” and appear to be quite Teutonic in manner.
This battle will surely prove that the term “Civil War” is clearly a misnomer.
A historically fictional 'what if' look at the events leading up to the Deutsche Afrika Korps capture of Tobruk in June 1942.
SCENARIO DESCRIPTION
A meeting engagement played out in the wooded terrain of the Ardennes at the beginning of the Bulge. 60+ turns.

The Germans are trying to seize important territory: bridges, cross-roads, and towns to allow breakthrough armored thrusts. Central to this map is the village of L’Shone and its surrounding road network.

The Americans are trying to occupy the same terrain to prevent its use by the Germans.

It is hard to believe that it was only a week ago when we first heard of “The Outbreak”. Initially it was thought to be a terrorist biological attack, with outbreaks in large cities overwhelming medical facilities. But soon it was apparent it was much more… the more we hear, the more we realize that we know very little – the cause – the prognosis – or the scale of this crisis. All remain unknown – at least to the general populace. What the “government” knows may be something else again.
You are Jack McCann, police chief in the small coastal tourist town of Shady Acres, Maine. Normally by this time of the year, your town is overrun with loud tourists from the cities of the East Coast. If only that were the case.
Four days ago a large staff of the Center for Disease Control showed up at the Town Hall, and brusquely informed the Mayor, Chuck Zeto, that the Federal Government was immediately taking control of “Shady Island”, a favourite picnic spot in the bay. This was all one-way communication, you don’t know much more other than soon thereafter a convoy of sealed trucks arrived and barbed wire was being strung across the access bridge to the island.
The National Guard has been mobilized, and your own police force has been placed under the command of the governor’s office.
And yet even now, you are not sure why. A strange illness has swept the globe, but what little news was initially released was like something from a bad movie. Now that trickle of news has stopped altogether. The official story is that a Chinese cyber attack has shut down the Internet, but this being Small Town America, there are a lot of conspiracy theories floating about.
The Mayor, Chuck Zeto, who also is the local bank manager, has asked that citizens assist in securing the town from whatever threats may arise. Given that the local National Rifle Association sponsored Chuck’s last campaign, their members were eager to show their affinity for the 2nd amendment and reaffirm their ownership of large capacity magazines and assault rifles. With some hesitation, you agreed to deputize these men, but have asked them to stay at home until they may actually be required. Their training and experience doesn’t necessarily match their enthusiasm.
You were at your office all night. You had a call from Doctor Jacobie at the hospital. Dr. Jacobie, a Vietnam war draft dodger who only returned from Canada in the 1990s, is determined to ignore what he considers a “fascist edict” that all patients in suspected cases of the “outbreak” be turned over to the C.D.C. immediately and quarantined on the Island. “It reminds me of the interment of the Japanese in 1942!” Jacobie ranted, and he said he would treat all patients as “patients, not criminals”. At that, you sent two teams of part time deputies to the hospital to deal with any issues that may arise.
The town is an important transportation hub, in that the coastal railway runs through the town. The Railway has deployed their own security at the train station, as if there is an epidemic, it is important to prevent those infected from traveling. Hopefully they have enough staff to do the job.
You remained in your office all night, and it seemed that things may be calming down, but then with a complete news black out, and the mute C.D.C. guards by the island Park, who knows? You did receive several calls from citizens overnight, reporting screams and other noises from the areas near cemeteries last night; typically the local teens will go there to drink and smoke up. Although you usually will send a Deputy to put the run on them, there are more important things to do now.
The sun is coming up, but a heavy thick fog has blankets the town. A convoy of C.D.C. relieve staff are expected in from Bangor any minute; hopefully they have some news. To allow your exhausted staff get some needed rest, two detachments of National Guard troops will be arriving, one is about 5 minutes away and a second convoy from the east in another 5 minutes after that. It will be good to get home and hit the sheets. You are so tired you feel like the walking dead.
Your phone rings. It is the security detail from the train station. Old man Codger, a elderly farmer who lives north east of town, has just shown up at the Rail station, out of breath and terrified. He is rambling about being attacked at his home, and that the only way he could escape is by setting the buildings on fire. You had better send a Deputy to go interview him. It sounds bizarre.
The phone rings again… it is Deputy Boomhauer at the hospital. He sounds quite distraught. Apparently the hospital was overwhelmed with patients overnight, and now he reports the motion detector alarms in the morgue have gone off.
At that second the switch board lights up, and several simultaneous “10-78” calls are received – “officer need assistance!”… What the?????”

This scenario is
1) Meant strictly for play against the AI. Although it one player wants to try playing the Axis/Zombies, please feel free.
2) The scenario is meant to be strictly for fun.
3) Watch you ammo loads. Shoot for the head. You only have the ammo you brought into the fight.

France, 1940 - Case Red.

Heavy Tanks of the 4th DCR must smash a hole in the advancing German line - but there are complications.
At Dornot, the U.S. Third Army's XX Corps' first attempt to establish a bridgehead on the Moselle River south of Metz met bloody failure. Two and a half miles south of Dornot the XX Corps' 10 Infantry Regiment is trying once more to establish a permanent bridgehead across the Moselle at Arnaville. Since the first U.S. troops crossed at Arnaville on the night of 8/9 September, the Germans have been launching increasingly vicious counterattacks in an effort to destroy the bridgehead and repeat what happened at Dornot.
This is an Aug 44 meeting engagement between Brit and German mech forces in Belgium. The map is based on a satellite photo of Neubruck just southeast of St. Vith.
Cassino town was destroyed by Allied Airforces on Wednesday, March 15th, along with the abby known as Monte Cassino. "The town was blown assunder and beaten into heaps of rubble, the official British history reported. Yet hundreds of bombs and thousands of shells failed to pound the town to powder, contrary to Allied expectations, nor were the surviving defenders 'rendered comatose', as planned." --The Day of Battle

Soviet vs. German Meeting Engagement. 60+ turns.
Best played as: H2H (Not recommended for vs. AI play due to mounted infantry.)

In recent weeks, this industrial center has been the scene of increasingly sharp clashes between recon units and regular forces. Both sides have traded jabs over this important airplane fabrication city. Both have moved into the town and then been forced out again. No one seems to be able to hold it. The landing gear assembly plant on the edge of town was occupied by the Red Army a few days ago and then burned and destroyed as the Wehrmacht forced them out. Much of the town lies untouched, but the workers and residents know it is just a matter of time before a major battle rages through the streets of their city…

After another bloody engagement, both sides have backed off. Again, in the still of a Sunday morning under the cover of a pounding rainstorm, both sides push forces forward to gain possession of the city.

No one is sure where the front lines lie. Is the enemy in front of you? Or is he gone?

Push forward, as so many before you have tried, and hold this town once and for all!
This is a CMBB scenario, modelling Plan Yellow in France in May 1940.

In the northern Caucaus, along the Terek river line, the battle has been raging brutally for nearly two months. Germany's 13.Panzer-Division tasked with taking the key junction city of Vladikavkaz (Ordzhonikidze) has been stymied in it's every attempt to breakthrough.

But now, at the end of October a break has been achieved through the first mountain range and panzers are rolling along the valley near Ardon, on a back route to Vladikavkaz.

The Russians, somewhat disorganized, are withdrawing to new positions. A desperate stand is ordered to slow the German advance and buy time to set-up the new defensive positions.

a Couple of weeks ago the Allies have conquered one of the major towns in France.

Now the Germans broke through the American line of defense in the Ardennes and are advancing rapidly towards this town.

Can the Allied commander hold this town?
November 1944, the French 2nd Armored Division is tasked to breach the German fortified line of the Vosges mountains. This battle takes place on the second days of the attack. The different French Task forces are competing with each other in order to be the first to reach the plain of Alsace. The company team Minjonnet (part of the Task Force Massu) blocked close to Voyer in a narrow valley by German remnants of the 708. ID has to bypass quickly this resistance. The French can be sure that their old enemy is not about to ease their action !

The eastern side of the map is mostly woods, the west is hills and farms. It is most suitable for an assault on the town, but if the focus is shifted to the ruined villa it would be good for a meeting engagement.

well it is finally over,

my troops advancing south from the town got hit hard my arty but entered the town and cleared the majoirty of the southern side and captured parts of the north side.
German counterattacks where made but my men where not dislodged.
My guys took some heavy losses crossing square and my tanks (2) were taken out within the town.

German troops to the east of the town where routed when i was able to cut in behind them.

A few hundred metres to the north, my men where able to swarm over the village there and take it rather quickly. Resistance came from the large houses and the small buildings near the north-south road.
But within 10 minutes and with the help of tanks this was cleared although 1 tank fell to an 88.
the only resistance which was left in this area was a few german troops holding out in a building.

German troops who had been near the norht-south road who were routed fled north but where cut off by troops moving south through the woods.
What germans didnt surrender died.

So the battle was decided by the renements of the German force at the town and the village a few hundred meters to its north.

with the combat happening around where i had already placed most of my target referance points i dumped my arty on the position where i knew a german AT gun would be (ended up being a howizter!) from the previous battle and on the small village to the west of Oousterhout ... for the shear hell of it hehe.
doing so i managed to take out the above mentioned gun plus several vehicles.

I dont think the casulties above, given to me by the aar screen at the end reflects the actualy killed over the 2 battles as the vehicles and guns destoyed figure was wrong so i have corrected them (the figure you can see) to the best of my knowledge.


So i though this was a great battle, prehaps change the British infantry from '42 to the '44 modle though?

Also i dont know if it needs attention or not, but BT has stated to me, my victory came to me as i was able to take out so much of his infantry in the first battle.
So prehaps, am not sure on this, give the germans some reinforcements infantry wise in the second battle?

Am not sure because from my viewpoint ... my infantry could not penetrate through the town in the 1st battle.
I got to the town in the 2nd battle as my setup zone allowed me to advance that 100m or so to the outside of the buildings.
Also my force at the north side of the map (3 tanks, weakend company of infantry) was basically stranded. They where in a different setup zone to the rest of my force inc reinforcements (most of who where deployed to the north of oousterhout .... in between the north and southern groups from the 1st battle)

thats all for now Smile

Yes the 1st battle got very bloody in the end!
Got reinforcements which hopefully will slow down his advance into the town.
Those two guns did a fine job late in the 1st battle and hopefully they can do it again ( fingers crossed! ) Big Grin

Enigma has put in a strong attack at the rear of the town ( top of map ). This has caught me on the back foot for now but forces are moving towards that area to repulse this attack.
Been waiting for those Shermies to come through the hedge!
Wink
My two big guns have taken 3 minutes before they could open fire Mad But at least they are firing now! Big Grin
Should be able to hold the flags until the next battle.... unless ' demolition man ' has other plans up his sleeve! Razz

the armour moving up the road has started to engage a mark III at very close range. After minute of shell fire from each tank the 2 are still in the fight. Eek!

By now, BT has already spotted my shermans moving through the hedges to the right of the road supported by infantry ... there now clearing the krauts from there fox holes.

Enigma has slowly brought forward his armour along the road. Sending some squads ( sneak order ) to hide near the hedge was given too late. They were spotted and chewed up Frown
He has another attack coming in from the back of the town. Defences there were alerted but one of my PZ III's wasn't quick enough on the draw and a shermie got in the first shot.
More units are setting up a hasty defence in that area. Hopefully they can avenge the PZ III Mad
More to follow! Big Grin

After overcoming, somewhat easily the first 2 squads, i ordered my men to advance thorugh the hedge and into the woods.

... well that didnt go to good. There's at least a platoon of german infantry who have just shot up all lead squads Eek!

Enigma's infantry attacking through the hedge at the top right hand side ( next to the elevated road ). Both taking casualties but now a lone Shermie is starting to support the infantry attack.

Rotten Britisher swine!
My squad, after drinking a few bottles of red wine at Big Bertha's pub ( now rubble Frown ) decided to empty their bladders next to the hedge. The Britishers took full advantage of this and wiped out my squad! Eek!
Their comrades upon seeing this terrible act, opened fire and forced the cowardly Britishers back through the hedge Razz
Come on Britishers! we are waiting for you Big Grin

a foxhole further down the road had been spotted much eariler, a squad was moved to attack it but has been sort of ambushed by the occupants.

' Demolition man ' has sent a lone Shermie forward along the elevated road but it only moved a few feet then stopped! Eek!
Said the flaming fanbelt snapped and has called out the AA ( AAA in the US? ) Razz
I could send over a 75mm shell..... that will get it going! Big Grin
My FO has reported no signs of infantry.... which has me slightly concerned Confused
DM could be using the Shermies in the overwatch position while his infantry sneak forward. If that's the case..... hold your fire lads until you see the whites of their eyes! Big Grin
And keep it quiet while you load the belt into the MG42 Quiet

I believe that museum in Overloon has a Panther that was abandoned during the fighting there that they are trying to restore. I believe there is a site on the net about it.

I have just about finnished reading the book Hell's Highway. I have to laugh because all the first hand infantry accounts all say that the German tanks were Tigers but the accounts from the anti-tank gunners and the official accounts call them what they really were: Panthers and Pzkw IVs!!! Razz

Enigma has been busy with real life recently and was good enough to let me know hence the delay...... or it could be he's worried about my infantry seeking revenge! Big Grin

The germans surrendered to me before the end of the game (I never remember exactly what turn when the AI surrenders)

Fun to play, and the map was well done, but a little easy against the AI, as you mentioned.

simovitch

I just rejoined the military book club and one of the books I am getting is Hells Highway. So I would be interested in what you see during your tour.

Oosterhout is a conversion of an table top scenario I found on the internet. I will be interesting on how easy or hard the results are. Probally best played H vs H as the AI set up for battle 2 seemed quite poor when I tested it. At least the Germans used thier artillery in your battle as I just got smoke fired at me when I played it. Eek!

I just started the second battle, playing Allied VS the AI. I plan to tour "Hells Highway" in a couple of weeks and I couldn't pass this one up (let me know if you want a photo).

It seems to be kind of an Allied cakewalk (vs +2 AI), but I did get a bit trounced by some german 105's at the start. Still to early to tell - I'll keep you posted Tom.

cheers,

Simovitch

British Tommy & the_enigma

I will be very interested in the results of your test. The AI does not do this scenario justice. In the 2nd battle there is a large amount of artillery which the AI does not use well. Mad

Good hunting to you both Big Grin
