Lot of VP added to [areas] : Caen, Cherburg, St Sauver, St Lo-Evrecy, Bocage rich in VP locations and german rearguard.
Bunkers at Carentan. Tilly Sur Suelles area reinforced.
Removed the everlasting deception units.

OOB
Replacement for all US forces, very few for british, for german the worst the unit the more replacement (SS divs 0%-1%, infantry 2%)
SA values from infantry units lowered, assault values for "regular" infantry lowered, SA from tanks both sides) increased.
Elite troops more elite than before. (I mean Rangers, Paras, Commandos).

Explicit Supply is recomended.

Please note that : Alternative Indirect Fire Resolution. Alternative Direct Fire Resolution, Alternative Assault Resolution are KEY rules for this scenario.

This version of 750 turns Monster Campaign is heavily based upon Jon Sowden and Volcano Man works.
It includes: .scn, .oob, .pdt, .map files

I’ve copied some of Jon Sowden original .doc file here when relevant for that scenario, please read it in the Word Doc. in the zip file.

Scenario Changes
Better defensive terrain for german player to hold their ground. Lowered Field, Orchard and such terrain to encourage German player hold that terrain.
Hundreds of small VP locations to avoid German player rush back to bocage.
Beach congestioned, mined and beachlanded troops disrupted, plus BUNKER and PILLBOXES should make interesting the first day.
Raised german assault ratings to avoid continous dislodgment by Allied assaults once Germans are entrechted at Bocage.
VP count: up to 24999 vp is a Draw.

Large, Allied Human vs. Axis A/I or HTH scenario. With Montgomery's Operations Epsom, Charnwood and Goodwood all failing to crack the German line and Axis panzer reinforcements headed toward Caen, Bradley decides to unleash Lightning Joe Collins VII Corps against a small portion of the German Line just west of St. Lo. The area covered by the map is the area cleared by the U.S. 1st Army prior to 1 August 1944 (when Patton's 3rd Army officially became active). The carpet bombing began at 09:36 a.m. and the assault at 11:00 a.m., so the scenario begins at 10:00 a.m. To follow the historical plan first hit the area just west of St. Lo with all of the air strikes (Panzer Lehr's area) and then attack to breakthrough. I will say in my playtesting several other avenues/axises of attack do present themselves. I will be honest, due to some personal difficulties right now, the OOB is not as throughly researched as I like when I design a scenario. If anyone who is a fan of this campaign can improve the OOB and set up, by all means please do so! Enjoy!

Thanks to Mike Ozga and others for his help. Description from the book "Fighting the Breakout": "While the withdrawal across the Orne to the east was taking place according to plan, the overall situation was becoming increasingly critical owing to the developments at Fifth Panzer Army. There, the connecting line of defense had collapsed at some points. East of Falaise, the enemy had succeeded in penetrating the front held by I SS-Pz. Corps, and had managed to cross the Ante creek at Damblainville. At this point, the 4th Canadian Armored Div. and the Polish 1st Armored Div. continued their advance toward Trun. Falaise itself had been taken by the Canadian 2nd Infantry Division. In spite of their having been in action for only a comparatively short time, the infantry units controlled by Fifth Panzer Army were severely battered and worn. The main body of 85th Inf. Div. had been forced eastward across the Dives, while to the southwest of this division there was a wide gap in the front. The combat efficiency of 12th SS-Pz. Div. was extremely low, and the remnants of 89th Inf. Div. south of Falaise were attempting to establish a new defense line based on the hills and wooded sections, and concentrating their efforts mainly on blocking the large road from Falaise to Argentan. The divisions under LXXIV Inf. Corps by now had been reduced to weak combat groups, which were putting up localized resistance but could no longer hold a connecting line. In coordination with the movement of Seventh Army, they broke loose from the left wing and also crossed to the east bank of the Orne. At Seventh Army, the withdrawal to the next line of defense west of the Orne had been carried out according to plan, without the enemy following up in force. The bulk of 363th and 84th Inf. Divs had been pulled out of the front, and set on the march to the Orne. These divisions had not yet reached their assembly areas south of Falaise, however, as the mounting activity of the low-flying planes and the few roads and bridges available did not allow rapid movement. A combat group of 84th Inf. Div. in the Briouze region remained as yet under the command of 353th Inf. Div., and was only to be pulled out during the following night. While the day passed quietly, Seventh Army, having removed the command post to Necy as from 17 August, issued the following orders: 1. Intense enemy pressure east of Falaise. Only slight pressure on the front held by this Army. 2. During the night 17/18 August, Seventh Army will withdraw with the main body behind the Orne, leaving strong security detachments in a line generally: Val d'Orne - St. Aubert-sur-Orne - Launay - Menil-Gondouin - La Fresnaye-au-Sauvage. 3. The following units will be detached from the Army command: 363th Inf. Div. from the command of II Para. Inf. Corps; 84th Inf. Div. and 10th SS-Pz. Div. from the command of LXXXIV Infantry Corps. These divisions are to be moved to the Fifth Panzer Army: 363th Inf. Div. to the Bazoches - Champcerie - Neuvy area; 84th Inf. Div. to the Vignats - Ronay - Necy area; 10th SS-Pz. Div. to assemble in the Monceaux - Giel - Habloville - Noirville area. 4. Missions for the II Para. Inf. Corps (3 Para. Inf. Div.) and LXXXIV Inf. Corps (353th Inf. Div.): defense of the Orne.

TLD gives some battalion locations and approximate setup areas for divisions so I have tried to develop the positioning for Normandy ’44 using that as a basis and educated guesses as to where battalions/companies not given specific locations were at the start of the battle. The remnants of the 130 Panzer Lehr Aufklarung Battalion are given as “free setup” in the Avalon Hill game so I have put them in a position that makes sense to me, but may not be historical. If anyone has any information on this unit’s participation in the battle, I would appreciate hearing from them. The panzer divisions in Normandy ’44 have more tanks at full strength OOB than they do in TLD’s OOB and I have tilted tank strength toward the TLD interpretation.

The German attack on the night of 6-7 August achieved tactical surprise. Therefore, most of the Allied units begin the game fixed and will become free to move during the 7th. The allies will get an overall command unit (1st Army HQ) on the 8th to simulate their improving command structure during the battle. The Germans have no overall command unit, just two separate Korps (84th and 47th Pz).

However, this scenario assumes that the German high command had solved it's command problems. Rommel's plan was to stop the Allied invasion on the beaches, with his Panzers right on the beach. However, Rundstedt favored keeping the Panzers far in Reserve. Once the invasion was spotted, they would concentrate and counter attack. Hitler stepped in and proposed a compromise. The reserve panzer divisions would be moved closer, but still behind, the expected invasion beaches and released to Rommel once the invasion was spotted. The seven reserve divisions would be spread out evenly from Normandy to Holland. Expecting the invasion in the Pas de Calais area, Rundstedt sent the refitting 1st SS Panzer Division to join the 21st Panzer in the quiet Normandy area. If the allied target was Normandy, they both would be available to move towards the beach immediately. Also, Rommel would have immediate release of the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr Divisions positioned to the North. They could be in Normandy within 48 hours. With Panzers at his disposal, can Rommel throw the Allies back into the Sea? ...........This scenario is a modification to Grave's and Dunnam's scenario #27 [Size: large; Length: 250 turns]This is a modified/revised version of the original #30-Campaign1.scn. Changes to objectives, supply, terrain modifiers, morale/quality, the OOB, reinforcement schedules, air and naval units have been made.
