CC#21 - Dutch Campaign (from Darek's PG2 archives)

[panzerdarek]

This will be the last input from my old PG2 archives. Now all 27 old AARs (with exception of missing CC#6) were published. For more I must start playing new challenges with OG. CC#71 was the first, but if I will keep the pace shown there, then I will be able to add one new AAR per year

Dutch Camp v.2.0 (by Dennis Felling), with Leon’s 2000 efile v.6.1b, PG2 1.02G exe, completed in October'2004

1. Fortress Holland

I got loss in my first and second attempt to this battle, but didn’t resign and went through in third.
Before the battle I spend all given prestige on purchasing three units: 2x Grenadiers and 75mm M34 mountain gun – without transport. A little modified plan of battle worked well and I missed BV by single turn (but who cares, if protos are prohibited).

Result: V

2. Zeeland

Before the battle I purchased a horse cart for my gun. In addition I bought two AD guns and one Mariniers (all with horse transport) to my army.
The battle was intense as I expected. Unfortunately I lost one of Grenadiers, but the other one got CS leader in compensation for that loss. Surprisingly “Fort Felling” was successfully held to the end. I think I should allow Germans to destroy it – you know why.

Result: L

Nice small battle went smoothly, excepting that I allowed Japanese tank to drive into my unguarded Tarakan VH. I spent additional turn to recapture it – just on time for BV.

I added some new units to my army (following DF’s suggestion) and it was god idea. All of them were rather busy here. The war with Japan looks like holidays so far. This battle went almost as easy as previous one. Next unit got the leader, not very impressive one, but may be useful for defensive activities.

5. Battle of Leuwiliang

Purchased: horse transport for Grenadiers.

This battle was much harder than both of previously played. I surrounded Japanese VH with my forces, but couldn’t take it on time. Japanese long-range gun got a leader and supported all enemy units around. Infantry unit (with leader too) kept its VH long – just enough for spoiling my day. In addition – when I was focused on Japanese VH – my green Grenadiers unit that defended Leuwiliang VH was KIA during enemy counterattack. After that my VH was empty and I should loss the battle, but AI stupidly attacked my AD gun instead take the objective – missing its chance.

7. Merauke

Purchased: PAG 47mm Bohler (Paard en Wagen).

I made too many mistakes during this battle and scored only TV. Australian Commando didn’t see plenty of action – was KIA defending northernmost VH. At least Japanese paratroopers were killed too and didn’t capture that VH under fire of my walking arty.
One SE and both NW VHs were taken later after long lasting naval operation. I stupidly sent my small arty by the ocean too but at the destination point it was useless – I couldn’t disembark it at swampy ground. I should leave it for Merauke defense instead.
Both of my base VHs (Merauke and airfield) were guarded only by AD and AT guns. Anyway, small AT proved its worth and successfully withstood attack of three enemy units.
The biggest problem occurred with the closest VH on the shore – SE of Merauke. I sent there two Grenadiers but green unit was killed and experienced CS unit reduced to 1 point of strength. I couldn’t remove the Japanese defender not having that B-25. Combined B-25 and fighter attacks lasted couple of turns but finally the VH was cleared and captured after that by my weakened Grenadiers.

Result: TV

8. Grave

Purchased: 2x Grenadiers (Vrachtwagen) – during scenario.

The battle wasn’t so hard as I expected. I took safe V without troubles. Action on the field proved once again that buying a green unit is very doubtful now. I bought two Grenadiers this time but one of them was easily eliminated and the second badly damaged – not doing enemies any harm. I should spend prestige on upgrading and OSing my experienced units instead. Anyway, the most important thing has been new DF leader for my best arty.

9. Liberation of Brabant

Sold: Grenadiers (Vrachtwagen).
Upgraded: 7 Veld 75mm to 7 Veld 75mm M34.
Purchased: Grenadiers (Paard en Wagen).

I tried to keep newest unit next to my CS Grenadiers all the way and that tactic wasn’t bad – at least rookies survived. This scenario isn’t hard but needs patience. After clearing the way through bunch of German AT guns I missed BV by one turn.

10. Walcheren

Upgraded: Grenadiers to Mariniers.

I stupidly lost Westkapelle VH just before the end (as I supposed) and that cost me perhaps five turns extra for recapturing it. Westkapelle was left empty but situation looked safely. Suddenly one German unit that defended Veere VH just left it unguarded and started to capture all flags along the northern shore – reaching my empty VH during three turns. I could only watch at that (cut off by water).

13. Tarakan 3

Before the last battle I sold my AT and AD guns and upgraded two infantries (to Genie and Mariniers). This scenario was probably most annoying in whole campaign – I’ve never seen so many stacked bunkers. Luckily I got at the end last turn TV.

Result: TV

My core units killed in action:
1. Grenadiers – Zeeland
2. Grenadiers – Leuwiliang
3. Grenadiers – Merauke
4. Grenadiers – Grave

Great you keep all the reports. It's been almost 18 and a half years! Btw was there no list of played scenarios in the PG2 AAR?

[Major Heinz]

As far as I can remember there was a list, but probably you have to check it in the settings.

Hi Randowe.
When CCs were played 'on time' when were originally issued, with participation of many JP Panzers community members, then on CC Forum was usually created one separate thread to report players' progress status for running CC. All participants answered to that thread starting CC, and then edited their answers to present current status - adding played scenarios with results gradually to the list.
Obviously, for CCs played by some people with delay, long after initial issue, that wasn't possible. In such case usually the first post in particular CC thread was used as status report. I have it in many of my AARs as well, when played some past CCs (like CC#3 for example).

Great you keep all the reports. It's been almost 18 and a half years!

Oldest one is from 2002. Luckily I used text editor to write my reports, so I have them still on my disc (in cloud). Only one (CC#6) is missing, but maybe it still exists on one of my old computers from '98 or '06. I still keep them in storage place, but not sure if they can be run again after so long.

BTW, I regret that we have no CC played with your Atomic, it was born probably to late. I like it very much, but there are mainly very long campaigns with monster core army available (I already finished smaller ones - FC and LDCN).

All players posted their reports in the same thread? That must have been quite a mess, no?

There are also the short allied campaigns in Italy and the western front with 15 and 18 scenarios.

No AARs, just single post with list of played scenarios and achieved results, updated regularly with progress in CC. The purpose of CC STATUS thread was possibility to compare results of all participants in one place.

[randowe]

I understand, thanks

Perhaps instead of starting new campaign I will just try to continue Atomic Blitz, where I'm still in Leningrad after completion of 25 battles. I have arrived there 28.12.2021 and stopped for a while. You scared me calling my giant (in my opinion ) core too small for purpose.

BTW, I have checked my saved file and was unpleasantly surprised seeing that nice additions of extra Supply for my V1 launchers disappeared. Looks like I made a real mistake praising the usefulness of this Wunderwaffe in my input from Dec'21.

Probably so

I am sorry that i have scared you I always think that it is too hard, playing with a small core. But it just a different playing style
(Btw, i have not played Atomic Blitzkrieg for quite some time now, i hope i made no mistakes when working on the efile the whole time I have to play it again after Weltkrieg is finished).
