[Fiedler]

Any good suggestions for a early war scen set in Europe? Medium sized 6+ turns with combined arms on both sides

LCP, battle for France, Race to the Meuse, Blitzkrieg in the west(Northern Campaign) , Blitzkreig in the west the central campaign , for starters, then there are lots of early war stuff from Le Franc Tiruer

YES! Go to the Scenario Archive and search there, you will find plenty of early war actions depending on what you are looking for.

We also have early war scenarios (along with any period of WW2) in Dispatches from the Bunker, see my monthly update on the Emporium Page here at the ASL Forums. You can also contact me at aslbunker@aol.com if interested. Good luck, early war rocks, Vic.

A search running from the start of the war to 7/1/1940 (not sure of your early war range). It has Squads/AFVs/Guns each set to 1 minimum to ensure combined arms, as well as the 6+ turns. You can only select a theater and not multiple, so I left that open but you can review by combatants. It is sorted by rating, but I would look at plays to determine the validity of that rating - link.

Same as above, but with Guns set to no minimum in case you are okay with only squads and AFVs - link.

If you have everything you own included in the Archive, you can take each of the above searches, select "In my collection" at the bottom, and hit Search again to have the lists refined down to what you can play with what you own. Good luck!

(You may have already attempted all of this - I always offer paths as ways to remove barriers/ease play and make no assumptions, so apologies if it is duplicative.)

3rd RTR in the Rain

A Steve Johns classic, initially in Dispatches and later re-published by MMP. Love that scenario.

 

[sswann]

My mistake...
1 main scenario (large) and only 4 smaller scenarios not 5.

A little longer than you asked for, but really fun is DTF 2 Blitzkrieg!
Super fun scenario.

 

[Vic Provost]

I just flipped through the last 10 issues of Dispatches and found a half dozen early war scenarios you might like, Pothus Bridge in particular in Norway, could be the medium to semi-large scenario you might like, Norway 1940, British & Norwegians vs Germans. There are many more in the 57 issues so far...

And don't forget the other two Friendly Fire scenarios. Maczek Fire Brigade and The Abbeyville Bridgehead. All three are great fun.

How did you sort out those with combined arms on both sides?

Thanks for all the suggestions btw!
