Operation Konrad - Round 5 Thread

@Guardsman and @OnePingOnly Could you guys set the db folder and that? I am recovering from a minor surgical intervention, and the start of the battle may not be a hasty one. I'll give it my 100% to follow the rest of the deadlines.

I hope everything is OK! I trust minor is minor....
No worries on the start - I absolutely know you'll make up for it :).

When my doctor recently told me I am old enough to have a colonoscopy, I relayed to my wife that I needed a "minor procedure." She replied that "It isn't minor if they have to remove your head from it, first." :D
 
DB files are in the folders for MMM v Drifter, Guardsman v Aurelius, and Guardsman v Gorst. If I did it correctly, I think the turn should be for the second person to open.

Couple of epidermoid cysts (don't google if you are squeamish, I of course asked to see them once removed!). The surgery itself wasn't a problem, but it was unnerving, having that many people working on your scalp... A mix of antibiotics, probiotics and painkillers, with the general lack of physical activities is making me sluggish....

just checking, but both files were for the Russian player to go first and i was able to open both without a password for force selection ?!
Maybe passwords don’t kick in until after force selection?

Hi @Brille - I am waiting for you to tell me (privately or in the Deployment Matrix) what unit and Battalion you will be using for this Round. Then I can set up the rest of it.

It should be for the second player (Aurelius or Gorst, in your case) to enter a password, then go to the force selection screen.

It's been a while since I did this - and only did it once as part of FOW changes. Let me know if I mis-remembered something here.
 
One more thing - since it's been a while and we have a lot of Meeting Engagements this round:

1) TRPs can by purchased for all types of battles, by both sides
2) Attackers can use pre-planned artillery for all Probe and Attack battles
3) No pre-planned artillery OTHER THAN SMOKE for Meeting Engagements.

Oh thats on me then, sorry. I must have overread that part.

I'll look into it and let you know my decision later that day.
 
@Monty's Mighty Moustache @Drifter Man - It looks like I messed up your initial game file and used an earlier version of the map that had mismatched objectives between the 2 sides, an incomplete German set-up zone, and was coded for a SMALL battle. I have placed the new file in your DBox, and the first turn should be for Drifter. Apologies.
Gotta shake the rust off!
 
Last battle:

Pilis Mountains - Dorog:

Historical: After conducting a crossing from the north to the south bank of the Danube on January 1, 1945 which outflanked Soviet defenders along the river bank, the 96th Infantry Division moved east towards Gran (Esztergom). Tokod was captured on January 3, but then advance elements ran into a strong Soviet blocking force near Dorog, consisting of a Soviet rifle regiment and both T-34 and JS-2 tanks. Despite the mismatch, the 96th attacked Dorog on January 5. By this time, most of its StuGs were out of action, and the attack was a failure. Over the next few days, hard fighting resulted in the germans nearly encircling the town. A major push on January 7 resulted in the Germans capturing the town center, but a counterattack by the 37th Tank Brigade of the 2nd Guards Mech Corps resulted in them being pushed back to the outskirts.

By January 9, the German 711th Infantry Division had advanced past Dorog along the banks of the Danube to Gran. This opportunity to advance in the north became Konrad II, and both the Wiking and Totenkopf Divisions were re-oriented to attack through the Pilis mountains. German forces advanced to Piliszentlelek, but despite many attempts, they were unable to capture Dorog, which remained an obstacle to concentrating forces, resupply, and communications for the Germans that had advanced further east. On January 12, Konrad II was canceled.


Campaign: After several weeks of effort - and loss of the Sturmpanzers of Abt 219 - the heights around Dorog remain in Soviet hands, preventing further German advance along the south bank of the Danube. The Germans need to capture the strategic hill and the last Soviet positions in the town itself to open the road for traffic east and southeast.
