MMP Berlin scenario!!!

[Tesgora]

The Battle of Berlin was a campaign spread over a large area. The city itself was the megapolis of Europe, much bigger than Stalingrad. The HOB rendering was focused on part of the Z defensive zone where some of the best known tactical engagement took place (i.e., Reichstag, Ministry of the Interior/Himmler's House, etc.). From the presence of a large railyard and adjacent train station, this might be an ASL rendering of the brutal fighting to take control of the Anhalter Bahnhof.

Bill does a GREAT job with late war AFVs and city fighting.

The "War of the "Panzer Rat"" is a good title...

Also, a story about the term Panzer Rat.

In 1993, I was a Tank Company 1SG and we had four Saudi Arabian NCOs in my Company for a good will training event.

One of the Saudi NCOs spoke good German and while we were in our Assembly Area, this Saudi NCO saw and Armadillo crawling across the area.

He'd never seen one before and he turned to me and asked, "Was is das?" I replied quickly, "Panzer Ratten".

He began to laugh and then when and told his other Saudi NCOs what we talked about.

From then on out we had a blast with them for three weeks in the field for Tank Gunnery Qualifications to TT XII (Platoon Qualification) and then a four day mine ARTEP. My company was designated as the OPFOR against our Battalion and we had fun killing a bunch of sleepy tankers at 4AM three mornings in a row.

So we might actually see it in print in 10 years?

it is a one off scenario NOT a HASL so no not even in 10 years, it is destined for a late war pack tho

The CPVA counters represent Konev's troops as opposed to Zhukov's troops. I did not notice the overlay....thought it was a HASL map. Oh well.

Will it be a Berlin HASL ?
I just saw on FB that there was a playtest of end war, heavy metal, scenarios, covering different places - among which I seem to have seen the Berlin map displayed hereabove.
As much as I would gladly welcome a Berlin HASL, I have some doubts that this is what MMP is develping.

The post on FB seems to be just a scenario in Berlin - "a playtest for MMP" - no mention of a HASL.

Berlin had a lot of cool weapons, like twin 37mm AA guns, panzerturms, small tank hunter AFV s, old captured tanks and ACs etc et (I have seen even a WW1 British tank photo, I dont belive it actually fought... )

No just a scenario

Thanks Klas and Oliver.
That is what I thought.
Speaking of a "Berlin project" seems misleading in the present case.

I have changed the title of the thread. Sorry to hype us all up when in fact the situation is pretty normal.

Well, I would have loved that it were a HASL.
And congratulations for having changed the title of the thread. As we say in French : "Only idiots never change their mind." I always have believed that and I always will.

Some of our heros are also people who never changed their minds.

No just a scenario

it is a one f scenario NIT a HASL so no not even in 10 years

Trust me, I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

We've playtested a few of these scenarios. The boards are nice dense city but modified with railway shunting yard overlays or parks.
The situations are interesting and combihed with the terrain, make for some fighting sutuations we've never seen before.

Ok, so now there's more than one scenario again....

Here is another photo from the MMP project playtest. This one is set in Budapest.

I've not seen any set in Berlin itself but other European cities will feature. The boards themselves are great. They have a much better European city feel.

They sure do

Remember, this is Bill Cirillo you are talking about.
This project is almost as complicated as a HASL.

Hey! I resemble that remark!
