Canadian Crucible: Brigade Fortress at Norreyrestrictions remain until Putot is captured bythe German player, General Witt is killed(see CC 3.5e.) or 2400 June 8th, whicheveroccurs first.Designer's note: The German offensive efforthere was quite hasty and did not benefitfrom extensive planning or preparation.3.2 German ArtilleryThe following German Artillery batteriesare available to the German player asdirected by specific scenarios.12th SS Panzer Artillery RegimentI Battalion1 Battery (105mm)2 Battery (105mm)3 Battery (150mm)II Battalion4 Battery (105mm)5 Battery (105mm)6 Battery (105mm)III Battalion7 Battery (150mm)8 Battery (150mm)9 Battery (150mm)10 Battery (105mm)12th SS Flak Battalion2 Battery (88mm)3 Battery (88mm)12th SS Werfer Battalion1 Battery (150mm Rocket)The German player uses the 10 columnon the Artillery Adjustment Table. WhenIII Battalion fires a Battalion fire, all fourbatteries must participate (not just three) ata cost of four Battery Fires of ammunition.3.2a Fire Control. Because of very successfulCanadian radio jamming, the Germanplayer suffers the following penalties:1) Between 0300 and 1000 inclusive onJune 8th, the German player must roll asingle die at the beginning of each Aircraft& Artillery Phase. On a roll of 1-3, he maynot fire any Artillery during that turn andany Pre-Plotted fire scheduled to arrive thatturn is an automatic No Shoot. On a roll of4-6, he may fire Artillery, but may not useFast Fire or Battalion Fire missions.2) After 1000 on June 8th, the Germanplayer must roll a 3–6 on a single die inorder to fire any Artillery during that turn.Fast Fire and Battalion Fire Missions maybe used if Artillery Missions are allowed.These restrictions are lifted at 0100 June9th.3.2b Werfer Battery. The Variable EventsTable shows when the Nebelwerfer batterymay fire. Use the TCS v4.01 18.6c rule onRocket Artillery with a fire strength of 24and Attack Zone radius of 5 hexes. Werferfire is NOT subject to CC rule 3.2a. TheWerfer battery may fire normally duringeach turn of the hour it is available andconsumes no ammo.3.2c On-Map Artillery. A battery of 12 SSArtillery (Wespe) as well as two batteries of12 SS Flak are on map in some scenarios.Use TCS v4.01 24.6 in this case. In addition,all units of a battery must be withinone hex of a single common hex in orderto fire Artillery Missions.Units of 12 SS Flak do not consumeammo when functioning as AA weapons(see TCS 4.01 24.7). They also have amorale of 3 like AA or AT guns, not 6 asis normal for On-Map Artillery.3.3 Anti-tank WeaponsThe supply train which carried manyof the personal anti-tank weapons and theheavier Panzerfäuste was held up by theAllied air overhead. Therefore the Germanswill have to apply a -2 modifier on all ATRolls until 1700 June 8th.3.4 716th InfantryUnitsSeveral remnant bands from the 716thID were still behind Canadian lines in thearea of the 7th Brigade in Putot and southof the railway line. These troops are representedby four MG units set up accordingto scenario instructions. Each MG unitis Dug-In, without orders, and cannot bemoved or placed on an Op Sheet until aunit from 12th SS Pz Division has movedadjacent to it, a which point the MG unitis immediately added to the implementedOp Sheet of the unit which moved adjacentto it.3.5 German VariableEvents3.5a Supply Train Arrives. The Panzerfäusteshow up more quickly. Rule 3.3 isno longer in effect.3.5b Canadian Jamming Thwarted. Rule3.2a Fire Control is not in effect for the nextfull hour.3.5c Germans Capture Canadian CodeBook. The Canadians used very colorfullanguage to describe the uncanny ability ofGerman mortar fire to hit targets, even smallones such as their foxholes, with impunity.Unknown to the Canadians at this time, onJune 8th the Germans had captured a set ofradio code books from a carrier destroyedby a German AT gun. The codes in thecaptured documents would still be used forthe next several days and this allowed theGermans some leverage in their planning.To represent this, apply the followingchanges for the remainder of the game:1) German Artillery uses the 11 columnon the Artillery Adjustment Table.2) German 81mm Wortar units have anArea Fire rating of 6.3) The German Prep Ratings improveby one.4) Canadian Artillery uses the 9 columnon the Artillery Adjustment Table due toGerman electronic warfare.3.5d German Flank Support. III/26 SSPzGren Regt was to fill the gap on the farleft of the 26th SS PzGren Regt's positionbetween Audrieu and Brouay. Historically,elements of III Bn were ordered to helpcover the flank attack of II Battalion onPutot. Their covering fire was limited dueto fear of naval gun fire or movement fromthe British 24th Lancers and Dorset infantrytowards Brouay, thereby outflanking theirposition.If this event occurs, the German playerreceives III/26 SS PzGren Regt as a reinforcemententering via Zone 1 and may immediatelycreate an Op Sheet for it which isautomatically implemented. Beginning the2nd full hour of any unit of III/26 SS PzGrenRegt being on map due to this event, theGerman player must roll a single die eachfull hour during the Command Phase. Ona roll of 1, immediately remove all unitsof III/26 SS PzGren Regt (exception: theSdKfz unit of 10/III/26 SS PzGren is notremoved if it was already on the map whenFlank Support result was received).Treat this result on the Variable EventsTable as No Effect if it occurs before 1000June 8th, when the formation became available.This event may occur multiple times:any losses or Battalion Morale incurredremain. If already in effect when rerolled,simply restart the 'clock' for removal.3.5e General Witt Killed. Kurt Meyerbecomes divisional commander and theGerman Prep Rating for all formationsother than 25th SS PzGren Regt improvesby one for the rest of the game.3.6 101 SS PanzerBattalion (optional)Historically, the battalion left its Gournay-en-Braycamp (50 km east of Rouen)around 2 AM on June 7. Its companiesarrived in the afternoon at Les Andelys,their designated crossing point over theSeine, to find the bridge destroyed; theywent on to Paris to find an intact bridgeable to withstand their weight and thenPage 4Multi-Man Publishing, Inc. 403 Headquarters Drive, Suite 7, Millersville MD 21108© 2013 All Rights Reserved.
