Description
Two months have passed since the Americans rolled into town. With superior numbers and great strength, we pushed them back. Command's last order was to dig in and wait for relief, but we've been waiting so long and neither attack nor aid has arrived.

Winter has come early, and starvation has led to dissenters and deserters. The militias and grenadiers grew tired of waiting and abandoned their positions taking most of our armour and men.

We number only around fifty now but what little of our elites remain are armed to the teeth and dug in. A small group of us have been sent to give one last try at re-establishing some communications and the radio tower in the forest.

To our surprise the radio still works, however the news is bleak. We've picked up American chatter and it appears, as we feared they have us surrounded, worse yet after two months of starving us out they are preparing for a siege of the city.

If this is to be our last stand, then we shall make them bleed. Make every man's death count. There is no hope and no way home only glory in death.


I love any feedback and a rating helps others see my work and me improve it.
The plan is to eventually create a full campaign/mission pack with these levels. I'm still learning a lot about mission scripting, so I will be updating previous missions with new content as I improve.

Hello and thank you for your excellent missions.

Bug report:

The mission objectives or the texts have been mixed up in the order.

first appears: “Hold the Western Front” and after that ”Ready all forces to defend the western front" but it should be the other way around.

Love the inverse mode that you put into your missions where you can play both sides! Whats next in the list? Any plans for Soviet vs Germany?

NTB,

Very nice! The size was perfect. I honestly don't care for the huge battle because the micro-management turns into work and frustration. This was about the perfect size and I truly enjoyed it. I got lucky and the Tiger had HEAT left for those Heavies that rushed at the end. So, I had about a squad of 10, maybe less (to include a Medic) and the Tiger so not truly proud of my defense and admit I was lucky but that city was difficult. And, believe it or not, as that last American heavy tank (were they Pershings?) was blowing up, I ran out of gas! LOL! Very nicely done! Thank you!

I played it and found it very fun, so I'd like to translate it into Japanese. Is that okay?

Is this mission inspired to a real historical event?

Great short defence mission. Nothing to add of any errors or bugs.
Minimal but just enough soldiers to defend the town. No massive spam waves of enemy so enough time to reorganize. Awesome and (I HATE IT NOW) interesting use of the minesweeping shermans! Really took some defences down I had but happy to see them being used for a purpose!
Can't wait for future missions, anything in mind?
