Eben-Emael (PC2)

**Eben-Emael** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Fall Gelb is officially underway, mein General. The invasion of the Low Countries has begun!

Our part in the operation is twofold. The first task we must accomplish is to break through the formidable border defenses of both the Belgians and Dutch as quickly as possible.

Our attacks will undoubtedly force a reaction from the French and British, who will likely send reinforcements to stop our somewhat predictable move to outflank the Maginot Line. Thus fulfilling our second task.

And so it falls to us to deal with the Belgian fortress of Eben-Emael.

**Primary Objective: Hold Eben-Emael.**

**Bonus Objective: Capture Maastricht Victory Hexes.**

**Bonus Objective: Capture Liege Victory Hexes.**

Attacking such a fortified position across unfavorable river terrain would normally be madness, so High Command has given us special resources to accomplish our objective.

If you remember our training, well this is what we trained for!

Using our advantage of surprise, we should deploy an advance force of Fallschirmjägers and their glider transports here.

We must then immediately use them to encircle the fortress of Eben-Emael by landing at these locations.

We will only get a single chance at this, but if we can pull it off correctly, the fortress should be at our mercy.

Make sure the fortress is encircled at all times, or the garrison may get a chance to man their guns, and then our mission will become terribly difficult. Also be prepared to support our Fallschirmjägers, in case the enemy attempts to break the encirclement.

Once the cornerstone of the Belgian defensive line has been neutralized, we should be able to easily bypass the remaining static fortifications and advance to the interiors of Belgium and the Netherlands at full speed.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Mein General, quick report to go over.

High Command is thrilled at the success of our operation. I understand that several of our men are due to be personally awarded for their bravery and performance.

With the lynchpin of the Belgian border defenses already defeated, our advance along the Albert Canal is virtually unopposed.

All in all, an excellent start to our latest campaign!

**Historically, the defenses of Eben-Emael were thought to be nigh impenetrable. Its hardened fortifications were constructed to the highest standards of the time and the fortress held a commanding positions over several key river crossings.**

**The original estimated cost of the campaign to subdue the Low Countries was the loss of hundreds of thousands of German troops over the course of years. Instead, it began with the loss of only six German Fallschirmjägers, and would ultimately be all over in just a month.**
