Hague Landings Campaign Map

Here is the map for the campaign mode I have been working on, most of the rules are functional but I am still sorting out numbers and types of units. The map is just a screen grab of Google maps and I tried to distribute the territories and connectors as well as the fortified territories to make for interesting strategic decisions.

2084: A Republic Reborn

The Liberation of France:

In the waning months of the ceasefire years Paneurope launched a major offensive in a bid to retake Combine occupied Paris. Paneuropean troops coordinated with French Paneuropean loyalists to retake the city. With French lowalists attacking from the less fortified west and Paneuropean cybertanks punching through defences from the East, it is up to the Combine United States Garrison to survive until reinforcements arrive. The Paneuropean liberation force is accompanied by 3 new Fencer cybertank models, but their weaponry is proving to be subpar in this campaign when stacked against long range weaponry or other Ogres. The loyalists are made up of outdated tanks and up-gunned helicopters as well as truck mounted militia, though outgunned, they outnumber the western Combine forces in the city. The Combine Canadian reinforcements are spearheaded by a pair of outdated Mark III’s and a Mark V and should punch through anything other than enemy ogres. The Combine Garrison has large numbers of infantry, heavy tanks and artillery which should stave off all but the most determined assault from the east.

2077: A Thorn in Europe's Side

The Hague Landings

In 2077 the Combine mounted their second major amphibious assault on mainland Europe, landing not in France but in the Paneuropean province of the Netherlands, initial landings were met with heavy resistance as the Paneuropeans had been fortifying for years and the fighting was fierce, the Northern landings were repulsed but the landings near The Hague were successful after a long and drawn out battle and the Combine forces successfully established a permanent beach-head pushing north and east and taking Amsterdam, once this was done they had a foothold on the continent and the real war began.

This scenario represents the initial Combine invasion of The Hague and thrust towards Amsterdam harried by the Paneuropean reinforcements from Utrect. At this time the Paneuropeans lacked both Ogres and Superheavy tanks and were hopelessly outgunned by the Combines Ogres. The failure of the Paneuropean forces against Ogres at The Hague would lead Paneuropean generals to push for what soon became the Superheavy tanks.

This battle will hopefully eventually be the start of a campaign game but due to time constraints I am posting this scenario now and will hopefully fill in the rest of the campaign rules and scenarios when the rules are finished, for now, enjoy.

Map (Base map from Google Maps):

Deployment:

Each military force deploys in its designated deployment zone, all Combine units deploy in the Combine deployment zone in the ‘Shallow’ water or on the beach. Heavy tanks, fast mobile howitzers must be deployed on the beach at the edge of the deployment zone.

Pan European forces must be deployed within their respective city deployment zones except for the Coastal Garrison which must be deployed along the sea wall.

Terrain:

The sea wall is assumed to be a heavily fortified position and is treated as city. Additionally the areas within blue are treated as city and the dark green area is treated as forest. Additionally any other grey areas may be treated as city.

Time limit and Victory Conditions:

The game ends after 15 turns. The Paneuropeans set up first. The Combine forces move first. Victory is determined by which city territories are controlled by a majority of units (infantry count as 3 men stands)

The sea wall counts as 5VPs

The Hague counts as 3VPs

Amsterdam counts as 4VPs

Rotterdam counts as 4VPs

Utrecht counts as 6VPs

Additional victory points are awarded for large Ogres.

For each Ogre Mark III destroyed (all weapons or all treads) by the Paneuropeans they gain 1VPs for each not destroyed the Combine gain 1VP

For the Mark V Ogre or Ogre Vulcan if they are destroyed (all weapons or all treads) the Paneuropeans gain 2VPs each if they are not destroyed the Combine gain 2VPs each

Special Rules:
