DT in a Campaign 6.2 G. Treitler

Axis turn 7th

RAIN!!!

trafic jam in the road to trondheim (zone II)



As it rains we cant do air attacks ...but we can explore the air surrounds of Trondheim



the Bf110 end the participation and retire to denmarck



It is curious ...2 units of my core could not be deployed in air or plane-.---as they were not enough slots.
after this i thought to place it in next turns in the new conquered cities...but it was no possible. Only in Danmark.
so i dont think thry could do anything in this scenario. I embarked them but they will arrive late.
I suppose the expert Campaign designer will have a explanation ...i am a bit rusty on PG custom editing in these days..

Axis 8th Turn

Rain..and Soil becomes MUD

As it rains moment to move the paracaidist to the action zone!





surprised of the lack of defenses in Narvik, i move the last paracaidist to other city south of Narvik

ZONE II ...terribly Traffic Jam ..the lack of artillery in the zone makes difficult the movement..and i got finally a Rugged on a PIVD close to Lillehammer....may be the first lose in the war? next turn we will see. Hamar close to OSlO taken! thanks to the artillery which moves quickly towards Lillehammer



Zone IV Trondheim...
Great quantity of heavy Ships close to trondheim...my rest of submarines start action.
Soon will arrive enemy destroyers...in fact is strange they are not there yet

"Axis 9 th Turn"

The paracaidist action is a success



in Zone IV
we are close to enter in Trondheim

Trondheim is close to fall

Axis turn 11
and the rain arrived!

Axis turn 14

Close to end the scenario

MAJOR VICTORY!!

Next Scenario Ardennen 40
Starting Prestige: 1896

SCENARIO 4: ARDENNEN 40



I have no idea what forces im going to meet but this plan seems the more natural

I, II breaking the strong defenses in the border line and then progressing to zones III and IV where no idea what we will meet. Seems a good battle for increasing experience of artillery and tanks, antitanks... as last scenario Norway most of the troops didnt participate in any action. Last scenario i spent lot of presitge buying Fighters, level bombers (2) ...may be its time to review my chaotic Tortois Core army to make it more chaotic.

I decided to upgrade:

75mm Artillery -> 150mm
75mm Artillerys -> Sig B
105 mm Artillery ->150mm
Pz IVC -> PzIIIG

Axis Turn 1:

In the South of Zone II we crossed the river and in the north of Zone II we move to make contact with the enemy




In the Zone I , we attack the defensive stronghold with all the auxiliar land and air effectives smashing the enemy

Allied 1th

Enemy fighters appear. One Auxiliar Bf110 destroyed and one of my core Bf109 defend one of the attacked transported artillery

Antiair units:

i need to buy 2 sdkfz 6/2
the 8.8 is always out of range of most of the action, as my army in this part of the campaign at least! is now in offensive so to place the 8.8 is not easy. these units will go with the two groups or artillery of the core.
