Keep the Scenario Ideas coming

the field is woodland with some clearings , with adjoining fields

I expect a platoon level engagement, so this could be a small part of many battles that raged in Europe after Op Overlord.

Germans have fallen back and occupied a woods next to open farmland.

They are establishing a defensive position to conduct a holding action against the advancing allies, they have been ordered to hold at all costs.

Allied units are advancing to contact to establish the front in order to facilitate an encirclement of the German forces.

Resistance forces of unknown strength and disposition are known to be using the woods as a base of operations.

Timeline

Friday night.. German forces have occupied the woods and have begun working on fortifications. .. Setting out OPs and roving patrols They are hunting for the resistance.

Allied advanced parties are tasked to conduct probing actions to establish the location of the German Defenses.


Saturday: Based on the information from the night patrols Allied forces stage a deliberate attack on the German position to clear them from the woods.

If the Germans Hold... Allied forces will consolidate and attempt to break through elsewhere

If the Germans are pushed back they will consolidate and Counter attack to retake the positions.

This would be the foundation... We could add many other elements .. such as the woods concealing a V2 launch-site.. or a Transmitter..
