Soldiers at War Custom Scenarios
all custom missions can be unzipped into your \Soldiers at War\Custom_g\ folder Please note that none of these are based on actual events-- I am trying to focus more on fun "what if?", rather than historical accuracy. If I make scenarios, I will try to make versions based on both sides of the struggle (but the computer player will almost always have the advantage, to make it slightly challenging for you). Kasserine Revisited Kasserine Revisited (Kasserine2) Here is my first scenario, a modified version of Kasserine Pass. The Germans have retaken Kasserine in a surprise attack, and the German high command is already there to make more quick plans. Worse yet, more reinforcements are on the way. The Germans are more prepared this time. You are sent there immediately without arrangements for radio support! Your only support comes from stranded American soldiers, if they are still alive, that is. Some of them might be hiding-- find and liberate them. Objectives:
Minor modifications: the officers remain stationary, added one information token. Kasserine Revisited, German perspective (Kasserine2German) Similar, but quite different, you play the Germans. You are also outnumbered, the odds against you. You begin victorious with a few men on the hilltop. Your Major comes running up the hill suddenly, out of breath, and warns you that many Americans are here and that your supplies are low. Your elite SS Infantry reinforcements are nowhere to be seen! More supplies are in the weapons shed. Your mission is to secure Kasserine and wipe out the entire American counter-attack. Whether you play defensively or take a chance and go on the offensive is your call. Africanus Africanus Germanicus You are literally nowhere in the middle of the Italian North African desert. Americans have shelled your tank to pieces. You are disoriented and retreat. Your spotter notes about 16 American ground troops headed in your direction. You need to remount your attack and wipe them out (modified from the "Bridge" template). Africanus Americanus This is exactly the same scenario, but played from the American side. You outnumber the Germans and Italians, but they have a couple of heavy machine guns and more sergeants. Wipe out the enemy! Duels (Fist Fights, too!) Duels This has to be the dumbest thing ever made! But it's fun, too! I got bored and decided to make five-on-five grudge matches-- equal ranks, equal weapons (or lack thereof), and equal terrain. This contains two variations-- fist fights and OSS pistol duels, one for each side (Americans vs. Germans, Germans vs. Americans). Enjoy! German translations and adaptations: Knee Deep in Doodoo Knee Deep in Doodoo Five Italian Captains are on a tour of the monastery, discussing plans to transport more weapons and equipment as the Americans begin to enter slowly, but steadily. There is no way that five men can hold this place and they agree to leave as safely as possible. Stealth and moving quickly will be the keys to survival. It's based on a German mission called "Voll in die Scheiße gelaufen". I translated it, but then decided to rebuild the ruined parts of Monte Cassino monastery to see how it could have looked before it was fortified by the Italians and then shelled by the Allies (it's not based on anything historical, however, except for the inspiration)! The difficulty in this mission varies widely-- after playing it many times, I've managed to fail several times. Usually, I can get two of the five men out safely. However, once, I got all five out and managed to kill all of the reinforcements (because they always arrive in the same places and I just waited for them!). So, could be easy, could be hard... Civil War (Bürgerkrieg) Civil War This contains two very different scenarios based on the liberation of Marseille. Civil War German: The first is simply a translation of the original German mission. It is exactly the same, and can be played as a single or multiplayer game. It includes many surreal elements (intentional scenery errors and a bizarre sense of humor). You play the Germans who are trying to hold the city from the French resistance. Civil War French: The second is my adaptation of this. You play as a small band of French Marquis who are trying to take back the city. I took the surreal mood of the original and ran with it-- it might not be the best scenario, but I sure hope that it is the silliest! Custom Scenarios (made by others) I hate the idea of having custom missions mostly or only at one site (such as wargamer.com). Nothing against them, but sites can close down too easily. I have put some in a directory, a file list without descriptions. I'm not sure about the origin of many of these scenarios-- if anyone would like me to remove a file, PLEASE let me know!: Custom Missions file list Please use and distribute my scenarios freely and feel free to change them, too. |
