194th Infanterie-Regiment/71st Infanterie-Division SASL Campaign May 40 - Jan 43
I'm going to start submitting the historical SASL campaigns I'm working on for you guys to try out. Let me know what you think.
First up, the travails of the 194th IR/71st ID as it campaigns through France in '40 up until the point it was destroyed in Stalingrad (Jan '43). The campaign consists of 6 weekly missions (14 May - 20 Jun) and 20 semi-monthly missions (22 Jun - 19 Sep '41 and 12 May '42 - 30 Jan '43).
I'll be fleshing out the missions below as I play them out.

Mission 6
After the war in France was over (France capitulated on the 22nd of June), the 194th IR and the 71st ID were put in garrisoning the West and conducting training. In April 1941, the Division was moved eastward to a staging area in preparation of Operation Barbossa. Prior to conducting the East Front missions, conduct Rest and Refit steps S17.82-.9 until the company is at full strength (i.e. US# 52).

Mission 13
After the fall of Kiev to German Forces, the 71st ID was sent to the west for rest and recuperation. Most of the rifle companies had lost over 50% of their men, and some could only muster 45 men. By mid-October the Division arrived in Belgium and northern France to act as the occupation force while their losses were replenished. Finally at full strength, and with the German ‘42 Summer offensive around the corner, the division was sent back to Army Group South, arriving in the vicinity of Kharkov in early April. The next couple of weeks was spent manoeuvring the Division around in various support roles, which saw the different Infantry Regiments being split up, when Marshal Timoshenko’s counter-offensive opened up with a massive artillery barrage on 12 May, 1942.
Before conducting Mission 14, conduct Rest and Refit steps S17.82-.9 until the company is at full strength (i.e. US# 52).

This campaign uses a generic company from the 194th Infantry Regiment (primarily the 1st Batallion, though some of the actions are fought by the other two Batallions).
