#1 | Eben-Emael (1/2) | GC40 - Panzer Corps
3410 May 1940 - My new assignment will be to take the war to our old enemy France, who has dared to declare war upon us as of last September! I am to seize control of Eben-Emael during a special operation. This fortress is believed to be immune to traditional assaults, so we have set up a secret airborne operation aimed at taking Eben-Emael by surprise!
The majority of my forces will be deployed on the east bank of the Meuse River, but several of my units will be dropped directly on top of the Belgian fort complex. I have to choose these advance units wisely as the element of suprise will not last long, and I want to inflict maximum damage before the defenders come to their senses and react. Moreover advance reconnaissance units have detected significant fortifications along all other crossings of the Meuse River, and it seems advisable to bypass these strong points by focusing my efforts on Eben-Emael.
Once I have captured Eben-Emael, I must break through the Belgian and Dutch lines to secure the rest of my objectives, including Liege and Maastricht, which should be vulnerable to attack from the rear.
-------------------------
Difficulty is set to Rommel and we are trying to do a blind run with a historical unit composition. I will explain some advanced tactics and my thougths about different strategic approaches. For explanations on basics and game mechanic I recommend watching my playthrough of the Wehrmacht campaign. Comments and Feedback appreciated!
