Did you get it? There one scenario that ...Hi Olav!<br /><br />Did you get it? There one scenario that David suggested for a fun PBEM: <br />#0707_01 Efremov: Hungarian First Blood (HTH) Turns : 20<br /><br />Efremov - Jul 7th, 1942 to Jul 9th, 1942. 2nd Hungarian Army had only arrived in Russia early in July 1942 and was immediately sent to protect Heeresgruppe von Weichs extended right flank. The Soviet Bryansk Front was being forced back by the unrelenting German pressure, but the heavy industry and crossings over the River Mecha at Efremov required a more stout defence. Unfortunately for the Hungarians, the city was defended by 1st Tank Corp. (Size, Small)<br /><br />This is a good HTH or single player game for either side. The Hungarian III Field Corp has had 1st Armoured Division attached to it as it rushes to secure the bridges on the Mecha. Its orders are to clear the city and block the North/South highway to prevent Bryansk Front using this route. The Hungarian player has multiple ways across the river but will have to take a heavy bridge (or build one) to break into the city. The Hungarians do have some Pzkw IV to counter the T-34's, but the infantry will be expected to shoulder the burden of clearing the city. The Soviet player can't be everywhere and will have to hope that some of the wired bridges slow the Axis forces down. Watch your supply lines.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770262108283393835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-14615211409729582072012-11-19T17:56:40.098-05:002012-11-19T17:56:40.098-05:00JC!

Believe me, there is nothing more pleasant than sitting on front of those maps and planning your operations!<br /><br />Hi Olav!<br />I thought we were doing some online Chancellorsville this week? :)<br /><br />Gunner: Thanks! David is quite an interesting fellow. For a Panzer Campaigns game, I would suggest a title that features an operation you like or have an interest in. Breakthroughs, counterattacks, general offensives in bad or good weather ... There is a title for every one. Each Panzer Campaigns game will have small, intermediate and huge scenarios that will fit your available time or "counter pushing limits". But I would say you have to choose based in that particular campaign that interests you the most.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770262108283393835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-2985659222680246732012-11-17T23:04:15.519-05:002012-11-17T23:04:15.519-05:00Wow, what a great interview -- David is clearly an...Wow, what a great interview -- David is clearly an interesting guy and the questions did a good job setting up the conversation. It did a really good job keeping my interest despite my never having played a Panzer Campaigns game. <br /><br />Do you have any recommendation for a best introductory or general favorite Panzer Campaigns game? I have a background with lots of light stuff like Panzer Corps and Unity of Command along with a bit of experience with War in the East.Gunnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-55705308137538935462012-11-17T10:48:15.447-05:002012-11-17T10:48:15.447-05:00You ever interested in PBEMing this JC?

Which is a shame, since these kinds of games would actually fit my analytical personality and slow reflexes better than the simulators I prefer to play.<br /><br />Anyway, a very interresting read, it's always nice with longer posts. Hopefully there will be enough interrest in high level wargames in the future to keep the genre alive!Johannoreply@blogger.com
