Lead the SS-Das Reich to victory!

Join the Depot Team as they undertake a desperate mission on Christmas Day, 1944. This small battle is but a sample of the fighting to come.

We, the members of the SP:WAW DEPOT, have put together a present for the SPWAW community. After many discussions, we decided to create a campaign centered around the battle history of the 2nd SS-Panzer Division "Das Reich", covering the period of 1939 to 1945. Over 40 battles have been designed for this campaign by our talented team, each one a true test of the player's abilities. This project required an immense expenditure of time and effort, and we hope that you will enjoy playing it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.

The Team:

Kuitni-2: Niko Kuittinen*
Commando Solo: Danny Secary*
BulletMagnet: Chris Sypniewski*
Kernel C: Steven Copley*
Ezriver: Bill Squires*
Wittmann's Revenge: Jeff Sedlak*
Duncan Idaho: Robert Brunsman*
(FGM)7thcav: Walt Moehle*
CPT Shoe: David Converse*
slehtine: Sasa Lehtinen*
Ace of Spades: Kyle Krammes*
Belisarius: Mattius Carlborg*
M4 Jess: Jess Housley*
Goblin: Eric DiNicola*
Artur: Artur Szekely-Takacs*
Fradar: Francois Dargaud*
Shadow151: Thomas Kane*
Orzel Bialy: Ken Baran*
FlashfyreSP: Kevin McFerren*
Commander Klank: Jerry Doyle*
Bladrian: Adrian Maritz*
Losqualo: Friedrich Klett*
and Bernie: BW Behling.*

Oberscharfuehrer Secary's section finished crossing the streambed. Sending SS-Schuetze Dargaud up to the top of the embankment to scout, he and SS-Schuetze Szekely helped SS-Oberschuetze Brunsman out of the stream. The sudden sounds of small arms fire from the embankment caught them by surprise; Brunsman was the first to react. Racking a shell into his MP38/40 SMG, he charged up the slope and let fly a burst of 9mm rounds. The rest of the section followed; within minutes, the enemy fire was silenced. Secary found Dargaud lying near a tree with multiple gunshot wounds. Still alive, he was carried back down the slope to be turned over to the medics. Once this was done, the section clambered back up the slope to continue their mission.**

Hauptscharfuehrer Behling pulled his snow smock closer around his face. Slowly, with great care, he eased his Karabiner 98b sniper's rifle into position. The Scharfuehrer was ensconced in a crevice between two rocks, partially hidden by a large clump of ivy. Placing his eye to the Zeiss scope, he found his target: a young American officer, standing in a foxhole. Placing the crosshairs on the man's chest, he took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and squeezed the trigger. The rifle barked in his hands, and, 1000 meters away, the officer fell backwards clutching his chest.**

Get ready for battle! Das Reich will be released soon! To arms!!


With clanking tracks and squeaking sprockets, a low-slung armoured beast edged past a crumbling stone building and into the open. It rocked to a halt, its long-barreled gun quivering in the frigid air. A man, clad in the black coveralls of the Panzertruppen, stood in the vehicle's open hatch, one hand braced against the hatch rim. Obersturmbannfuehrer Friedrich Graf Vosse, Kommandant of 112. Panzerjaeger Bataillon, coolly observed the battlefield from his perch. Descended from a long line of Prussian warriors, the Graf was always first into battle, and today was no different. He saw the approaching enemy panzers as mere game, to be taken as a hunter takes a stag. Lifting his intercom handset to his mouth, he barked out a short order,

"Kanonier, Ziel Nordnordost. Feuer!"

The gunner centered the crosshairs of the Turmzielfernrohr 5aver1 sight on the enemy tank and squeezed the trigger. With a roar, the 75mm KwK42 L/70 main gun of the Graf's Jagdpanzer IV/70(v) sent its 11 pound armour-piercing round downrange at over 3,600 feet per second. The solid-core projectile impacted the Sherman just under the gun mantlet and punched through the top armour of the hull. As it did so, it spalled the inner surface of the plating, sending bits of metal flying throughout the interior. The kinetic energy released by the penetration turned some of this shrapnel white-hot, which then struck the "ready" rounds of the main gun strapped along the hull sides. Breaking through the thin brass casings, these incandescent pieces ignited the powder charges, causing the rounds to explode.

The Graf watched as the Sherman shuddered to a halt, secondary explosions from inside blowing the hatches open and sending clouds of thick black smoke into the air. Calmly, he chose another target, passed along the order to fire, and smiled. The hunting would be good today, he thought.

Are you sure Jess was involved in designing this campaign? Was there lots of tears? :D
