Schönebeck 1945

[wulfir]

I'm looking for a brave opponent for a big PBEM battle.

Sides: US 2nd Armored Division vs the German Infanterie-division Scharnhorst and Sturmgeschützbrigade 1170
Map: Schönebeck, on the Elbe river, Germany. (Map size 200x160)
Date: April 13, 1945
Battle Points: US Army 4 000 vs Germany 3 000
Air: US 0 vs Germany 02

Situation: South of Magdeburg the experienced American 2nd Armored Division has managed to capture an intact bridge across the Elbe river, near Schönebeck. The US player must now establish a bridge-head on the eastern side of the Elbe. Meanwhile the recently formed German Scharnhorst Division, supported by the Sturmgeschützebrigade 1170, is sent to counterattack and throw the Americans back across the river...

Lack of usable forward airfields for the allies cause an unusual situation where the Americans must operate without air support, while the hard pressed Luftwaffe can scrap together a few machines and throw them against what seems to be an allied advance on Berlin...

I'll set it up and can play either side...
