WW2 - The Bulge

Ardennes Offensive

  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

16th December 1944, Ardennes, Belgium

5th Panzer Army

Oberkommado West have devised a final gamble to break the relentless Allied advance across Europa. During a period of heavy cloud cover we are once again attacking through the Ardennes forest. The ultimate objective is Antwerp, but for now you only have 1 immediate concern; an American fuel dump. Fuel is critically low; we can only afford 72 hours of combat operations with the reserves we currently have. In fact, some of the fuel destined for you unit never arrived, it was diverted to another sector. Therefore, the fuel dump in front of you is critical. We absolutely need this fuel to keep fighting.

To ensure you can break the American lines, a pair of Koningstiger have been attached to your attack. A word of warning though, we have no replacements for lost vehicles. If your half-tracks are destroyed, you must hitch a ride with the tanks. If the tanks are destroyed, god forbid, then we'll try to rush up anything we have spare, but there are no more heavy Panzers in this area!

Godspeed.

++BRIEFING COMPLETED++

MISSION SUMMARY: This will be a heavily themed mission with elements taken from the Second World War, with some artistic liberties taken. The mission will be making use of the Arma 3 mods Iron Front, Faces Of War and CSA38 which will be posted as well at the bottom of this event page in a compiled list.  Weaponry within the mission will be restricted to WW2/Faction based weaponry and will be restricted per your chosen role. Tags for applicable roles are being enforced and will not be different from standard slotting. Squad Structure and PTLN structure have been changed to accommodate the theme and structure of operations in the Second World War. There may be some potentially offensive imagery present in the mission.
