Dragoon Rising!

webby · 2010-05-20T11:04:23Z

Thanks to Craig for the write up! Please make an amendments highlighted in Red so we can see what has changed Premise The Battle takes place in an area of hilly woodland of the edge of the main battles revolving around operation Dragoon. Two roughly equal forces are contesting control of the minor roads leading through the area â€“ the German forces so they can route re-enforcements to the beach head, the US forces so they can prevent this. Dissection and Overview The game is split into three parts, with the majority of play taking place in the dynamic second part. The first and final parts serve as a warm up/introduction and a finale. The parts are: 1.The Downed Pilot A US pilot's Reconnaissance plane has come down in the area and the pilot has landed in an unknown location. The German forces want to secure the pilot so he cannot report back on their fortification efforts. The American forces are patrolling the area in a more general manner, attempting to locate the German forces and recover the pilot. The mission has both sides patrolling out into the site with the primary objective being not to engage. 2.The Conquest A series of objective points are either defended or attacked by each side. The objective points run in a circle around the site. One side attacks a point and one defends, once either the attacker has taken the point, or the defender has held it, the next point is contested. If the attacker was victorious the defender now must defend the site behind the one they just lost. If the defender is victorious then they are now the attacker and must attack the position the previous attackers launched their attack from. This part will involve most of the day's fighting, with a break for lunch in the field. 3.The Final Assault The final part is a continuous US assault on the fortified base of the German forces. The Fort will be further fortified by barbed wire, minefields, tank turrets etc. There will be certain advantages offered to either side depending on their performance during the second part of the day, ranging from extra ammunition to the availability of mortars. The Game should last approximately an hour. In the event of the US forces performing so well that they over-run the base early then an additional mission involving the German retreat may be used. Downed Pilot -- attachment is not available -- The U.S. and German Forces start at their respective points on the map. The Downed Pilot (portrayed by Webby) will position himself anywhere on the site. He will have limited pistol ammo and 'very limited mobility due to harsh landing' with which to attempt to evade the Germans and a smoke grenade to signal the U.S. Forces. Props Required: White sheet/Parachute, Parachord, Splint, Sections of US plane wing P38, canopy section with Webby's name on it and some luftwaffe "kills" symbols, smoke grenade etc Length This scenario should run for One Hour Objectives U.S. Recon the area, attempting to locate the two German OPs that have been created, and the fort Retrieve their downed pilot German Construct fortifications around 'the Fort' in preparation of the "impending assault" (Final assualt to game orgs) Stop the U.S. Forces from recovering their downed pilot, recon-ing their positions or interfering with the construction. Points of note â€¢The pilot can not be 'killed', only wounded by shooting, Webby will give up if overwealmed rather than fighting it out The German forces will require a reasonable amount of time for setting up the fortifications. US forces should be held 'on the leash' and not attack 'the fort'. covered effectively if Us are to 'march' to their start location from the Northern edge of the safe zone The German commander must allocate groups to FORTIFY, GUARD and PATROL at the moment the 'recon the area' is nothing more than words, as the US have nothing to recon moreover it could be "to establish the strength of the german force in this region". A simple solution would be similar signposts from Cassino they have to get close enough to read, but something in addition to the pilot would be nice. covered if the German forces create 2 'OP's out from their main base. Each OP and the base has a signpost that must be read by the US forces and reported back The Conquest -- attachment is not available -- The US and German Forces will start in their respective positions. If the US Retrieved their pilot then they will be the 'attackers', if they did not then the Germans will be the attackers. The series works upon the changing possession of the title 'attacker', representing the eb and flow of initiative during battle. The principles applied during the first mission are applied to every other mission as the battle progresses around the circle of objectives. Example In the first mission the US recovered their pilot, thus they are the attackers. The US start point is located at -1 (see map on next page) The commander remains at -1 and this is where the killed players...

I am just typing up a 'game rules' thing to post.

Now we are out in the field all day, so people need to carry everything, and we have HQs where they can leave stuff, but as the day will be dynamically moving forward and back and we have no idea where it will end up. So is it practical to leave your stuff at an HQ?

thinking of Cassino, the problems that the Germans had having to go back and get their stuff all the time, and the 'godsend' of the jeep to deal with that for the US would it be better to point out that people will have to carry everything with them?

Or will we just then end up with musette bags galore?

hmmm... people will have to try and carry everything with them...

I guess point out that only officers should carry musette bags really.

Note however there's no need to carry spare weaponry, it's never going to be that far to get back to the safe zone.

Stuff people will need is bbs, gas, spare batteries, food, water. So not masses of kit!
