The Hague report (scenario 14)
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 9:54 am
I just had enough prestige to bring the units up to full strength but didn't have points left to fill the new core slot.
I really enjoyed this mission, the Dutch put up a real stiff fight and they managed to finish off two of the paratroopers.
The enemy had tanks and planes attacking my tanks to stop the advance. Well they actually managed to do that roughly along the line The Hague - Gouda. The Dutch had so many infantry units... i thought i was in Russia. It took me several turns to break through and continue the drive to Leiden (who already fell back into Dutch hands). In the meantime Rotterdam was surrounded and with a minimum of casualties i took it. My Ju88 sank the enemy vessels one by one, and their interference to attack my troops along the coastline was reduced to a minimum. This type of mission along with the one you can capture enemy equipment are my favourites. I took enough time to finish the mission, grabbing a few more cities before taking the last VH. I got the DV and left with only 356 prestige points.
It is just a pity that the Fokker plane hasn't been included in the equipment file yet.
After 14 scenario's i have a great feeling about this campaign. I cannot wait to start the next one
My army core is now as follows:
1 Wehr Inf (***), 1 Gebirgsjäger (***), 3 Pioniere (all **), 1 SE Grenadiere (***), 3 Pz IIIF (all ***), 2 SE Pz IIIF (1 ** and 1 *), 1 SdKfz 222 (***), 2 15cm sFH18 (both ***),
