002_XME_WF "Duel At Dompaire"\\Scenario Size: Large\Best played
as pbem, then single player, either side.\\12 September, 1944\\Note:This
scenario requires the XME_WF mod designed by keif149.It will
not play with your stock RV game. For more information on the
XME_WF mod, or to get it, email [email protected] or contact
me through the Blitz war game club. There is more information
in the X Mod thread also on the Blitz Squad Battles forum.\\This
is a conversion of the Combat Mission Beyond Overlord scenario.
Original CMBO designer, Wild Bill Wilder. It was my intention
to recreate the scenario in the Squad Battles format and not
to recreate the actual battle itself.\\\\ Historical Background:
The XV Corps of Patton's 3rd Army, under the command of General
Haislip, was prepared to do battle in southern France. One of
the newest corps to formed, it included the US 79th Infantry
Division and the French 2nd Armored Division.\Having just come
from the triumphal entry into Paris, the tankers and soldiers
of LeClerc's division were hungry for "payback" against the Germans.\Covering
Patton's right flank, the French moved forward on September 12th
to the outskirts of Dompaire, preparing for the attack on Strasbourg,
then onward to the Rhine.\Late in the evening, French civilians
reported massive amounts of enemy tanks headed in their direction.
It was the armor of the recently rebuilt 112 Panzer Brigade,
with two full battalions of tanks.\Colonel Langlade skillfully
deployed his tanks north of Dompaire to take on the large force
of German Panther tanks as they sought to move to retake Vittel
and threaten to knife through Patton's forces.\The Shermans and
TDs of the 12 Chasseurs met the Germans head on and took the
field. The timely intervention of the US 406 group was the Coup
de Grace, leaving the hopes of general Luettwitz as gutted as
his tanks.\\\\French Briefing: Strategic Situation; Mon Capitan!
The opportunity is before us! Now France will show her true colors.
Our advance to take Dompaire will open the door to Strasbourg
and even further victories.\Mission: Prepare your tanks and armored
infantry for the advance to Dompaire. You are to take key crossroads
and also make sure the village is under French Control.\Your
recon force is to locate the enemy so that your main force can
confront and annihilate them.\Intelligence: Civilians report
German tanks moving toward and through Dompaire. They appear
to be from the enemy's 112th Panzer Brigade. Their strength is
uncertain, but we do know that they are equipped with the newer
Panther tanks.\Forces: You will have under your command part
of a tank company of the 12 Chasseurs, a platoon + of tank destroyers,
a platoon of armored infantry and some artillery support.\American
air support may be available later in the day. Now to the task
at hand. Dompaire shall be in French hands today!\\\\German Briefing:
Strategic Situation; With the arrival of your tanks as part of
the 112th Panzer Brigade, we now have the wherewithal to deal
with that impudent Patton and his French cohorts.\Mission: You
are to take your Panther tanks through Dompaire and take control
of the roadways to the west of the village. Your effective execution
of these orders will enable our major forces to sweep north and
cut off the advancing units of the American 3rd Army.\Intelligence:
There does not appear to be much activity west of the village
of Dompaire. There have been sightings of French tanks but no
one can estimate at this time the size of the force. It should
present no problem to your Panthers!\Forces: You will have at
your command a reduced company of Panther tanks with well trained
crews, nearly a company of Panzer Grenadiers and limited artillery
support. There are a couple of flak guns we will attach to your
force in case the American devils send their aircraft against
you.\These roadways are essential to our encircling effort. Do
your job, Herr Oberst. Let us show the enemy we can still fight
and win!
