History experts needed (Narvik Campaign)

Ah, that explains a lot! I should have thought about that when I saw his sleeve folded

I'll draw a mountain trooper if you like.

Fairline, draw to the cramps take you! You would surely leave me grateful.

[Arthedain]

Fairline: While you're at it, a regular polish infantry unit woul be nice to

[fairline]

Will do - first I have to draw a big plane and some arab gentlemen....

[Eivind IV]

I have sort og ran out of ideas for units. Anyone care to give me some pointers?

This is what I go this far:

Blenheim
Mine

HMS Rodney (Btls)
HMS Repulse (Btls)
HMS Furious (Carrier)
Hunt Class Destroyer
Town Class Destroyer
HMS Exeter (Btls)
HMS Warspite (Btls)
HMS Valiant (Btls)
HMS Renown (Btls)
(Heavy Cruiser
Light Cruiser)
Motorised Inf
Cavalry
Machine Guns

French:
Chasseurs Alpins
Legion Etrangere (French Foreign Legion)

DKM Gneisenau

DKM Hindenburg
DKM Königsberg. These will most probably be replaced by a generic german heavy and light cruiser unit)

Minesweeper
Zerstörer (Destroyer)


Generic:
Engineer Corps
U-Boat
Transporter




BTW: Should I go easy on the native names for the different units?

[Eivind IV]

Ok, I'm on the inlet side now and will have this finished within a week (maximum!).

The only thing I have left is placing the units, which will be easy since I have a book telling me all of the placements , and I must do the last finish on the rules.txt.

I would prefer it if those who are interested in reciving the beta version bumped in here now and enroled, it will then be in your PM box shortly . .

[POTUS]

I'd like to try it.
Will it be mutiplayer?

[Arthedain]

I'd like to try it too Eivind

[Eivind IV]

Great to see some response, and so quickly!

Will it be mutiplayer?

That's one of the parts I havn't figured out yet. I think I will go for the multiplayer version first, then I might do a SP version for both sides.

Civs are btw:
Norwegians/Allies
Germans

Will do - first I have to draw a big plane and some arab gentlemen....

I don't think I'll need the gentlemen before Saturday. Don't forget to leave out some of Auda's teeth.

Should have something ready by Thursday / Friday, D.

Did Auda have no teeth!?

@Curt: As the guys already said, you can.

@ Eivind: I haven't forgotten about the German Mountain trooper - I'll get round to him in a while.

[Eivind IV]

Great!

I have a problem. Well, really not a problem but a challenge. I was encouraged by Case to represent the campaign on batallion level:

Battalion would probably be the best choice, - with 6(?) divisions this would give the Germans 60 odd infantry units. If you went with companies the Germans would have 180+ units which is probably unmanageable.

Well, I have the order of battle in front of me. There is a very thorough description of the different German and Allied divisions. My question is; How many inf battalions are there in an inf regiment?

Like this for instance (3. Gebirgsdiv):
1.Welle, Wehrkreis XVIII (Salzburg) Generalmajor Eduard Dietl Narvik, Trondheim :
Geb.Jäger-Regiment 138
Geb.Jäger-Regiment 139
Geb.Artillerie-Rgt 112 (except IV.Abt., sFH)
Geb.Panzerjäger-Abt. 48
Geb.Aufklärungs-Abt. 68
Geb.Pionier-Bataillon. 83
Geb.Nachrichten-Abt. 68 ¨

And how should I represent all the other regiments, if at all?

[fairline]

There were 3 battalions in a Gebirgsjager Regiment. Do you mean represent the other battalions in the Division? If so, yes in the case of the artillery and possibly recce (Aufklarungs) bns.
