My contribution to the Scenario Design Competition will be called "Winterreise".
Initial ideas: Hypothetical H2H-scenario for Final Blitzkrieg which it is set in and around Dinant (Belgium) on Dec 27th. The German advance to the Meuse was beaten back when the weather cleared over Christmas and Allied air forces could roam freely. Large stocks of fuel were destroyed and all seemed to grind to a halt. Then fortune swung the German way as the weather worsened significanly and a blizzard hit the area. An ad hoc formation, the KG Leiermann, was formed and given the last supplies of fuel to venture ahead. They advanced under cover of darkness and low visibility of the blizzard to Dinant with the mission to establish a foothold in the town by securing the citadel perched on top of a tall cliff overlooking Dinant and the bridge across the Meuse. The second mission is to secure the cathedral in central Dinant which overlooks the bridge itself. These locations will be a very valuable vantage point to observe Allied reinforcements and secure the crossing of the Meuse to be used when the rest of the force refuels and links up.
The mission is set with blizzard/heavy snow and freezing cold weather. It will be about a 1 hour scenario. Map is coming along nicely but am testing some things before progressing more, foremost how to best make the citadel and how units spot/act in blizzard conditions. Preliminary US forces consist of engineers, towed TD and armored infantry.
Will post screenshots as soon as the map reaches the next stage.
