Scheldt Campaign

[Undercovergeek]

Commandos 

Nothing a flakvierling won’t sort

[bob48]

lol

...but hark! Is that a flight of Typhoon's I hear approaching?...............

[Undercovergeek]

Nope, I skipped lunch, the tummy rumbleth

[bob48]

Aha!

So, how many points per side in your BA game, and how does that translate in terms of number of figures / vehicles?

[Undercovergeek]

1000pts each

I take 4 squads of 6 fallschirmjager

2 medium howitzers

Truck mounted flakvierling

Flammhetzer

And 2 lieutenants because I split the points over 2 platoons I need a lieutenant for each

But that’s 300 points on vehicles - you could squeeze in 3 more squads of men but you’d have trouble against AFVs at longer range than 12’ which is where the faust stops

FJs are considered elite and are 15 points a man, plus 3 for SMGs, 5 for assault rifles and another extra 3 for fausts whereas your standard Heer chap would be 9 points

Interesting. The two FJ regiments that did fight in the Scheldt campaign were likely the best German troops present; they were from 6th FJ Regiment and the HG.

Looks great! 


How big is the map?

The map is only 11" x 25.5". I did think about if or not I could 'blow it up' but I'm not sure how. Also, that would mean going to maybe 6 or more segments, which could be a bit messy trying to line up.

If you want a larger version, and it's a single image file, tell me where I can get it/send it to me and I'll adjust it in Photoshop for you.

You'd need to go to a professional printer I think, but can't imagine it would be too expensive to print a single mapsheet in one contiguous format.

Wonderful - thank's very much!

You can get the map graphic out of the VASSAL module. Change the .vmod extension to .zip, unzup it, look for the map in the "images" folder.

OK I can go find that. Thanks, Barth.

Bob, PM me your email address - not sure if I can add attachments here in the messages section. Also, let me know what dimensions you want for it, size-wise.

[bob48]

Done

Where you gonna fit a big map, Compo?

[bob48]

Its not that big, Doug. The original is only 11" x 25.5", so that x 1.5 is no bigger than a 'standard' map, innit

Right, but that leaves you no room for tea and Hobnobs.
