Assault on the Bastille Scenario Old Battle Report

This scenario represents the Combine attack on a Paneuropean Cybertank Factory in Northern Europe. I came up with the scenario and played it with my gaming group a few years back and was actually my second Ogre scenario I ever made. I never posted it because I had drawn a physical map and I lost it somewhere. It was a massive game and we had a lot of fun so I re-created the map from some pictures I took of the game and made some modifications to the scenario that will hopefully help to balance it a little. These included reducing the overall number of units to more manageable levels (if you want to try to play the original just double all standard armor units), shifting around some of the objectives, assigning victory points for destroyed howitzers as well as disabled Ogres and finally to allow the Combine players to set up further forward. I’ll be posting the new map and modified scenario next as it’s almost ready but for now here are some of the pictures showing the scenario!

1: Aerial view of the beginning of the assault

2: The Combine forces advance forward quickly to the river spearheaded by GEV’s, Ogres and Superheavy’s

3: The Paneuropean Defense Force scrambles to form a defensive line

4: Combine GEV’s of the 12^th Canadian Air Cavalry Company Swarm towards Command Post Beta being met by the hopelessly outmatched Paneuropean 42^nd Polish Archaic Armor Company

5: Combine Ogres of the 57^th United States Heavy Armor Company advance together towards the Paneuropean defense line including elements of the 53rd German Heavy Panzer Company.

6: Command post Alpha’s defense battery begins to range the Combine units

7: In the north east the 71^st Canadian Mechanized Infantry Company attempts to storm the river and meets heavy resistance from the Paneuropean 24^th Russian Light Armored Company

8: Ogres on both sides take heavy damage and losses are heavy

Conclusion: Unfortunately I stopped taking pictures at this point but the Paneuropean dam and command post Beta fell to the Combine along with their associated cities, however Combine forces were completely repelled in the North East and failed to advance far after the dam, the game ended with a Marginal Paneuropean Victory.
