St. Vith

**St. Vith** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

**December 16th, 1944**

Welcome back to the Western Front, Herr General! As your Generalfeldmarschall, I will keep you informed of your objectives and share intelligence with you as it becomes available during these briefings.  On that note, let me bring you up to date.

With the failure of the Allied Operation Market Garden, the past couple of months have been relatively quiet on the Western Front.  Our enemies failed to deliver a knockout blow, but seem to think we lack the strength to challenge them and have become somewhat complacent of late.  Now is the perfect time to strike, and High Command has taken great pains to ensure the success of Operation Wacht am Rhein!

**Your first objective is to take St. Vith and all surrounding Victory Hexes.**  Enemy resistance should be fairly light, given the pains we took to hide our buildup in the Ardennes, but you may encounter a few well entrenched positions.  To help you overcome these positions, we've got a new weapon for your use.

I present you with the V1 Flying Bomb!  Not just any ordinary V1 either.  We've upgraded the payload and guidance systems so they should prove very effective against Allied military units.  As we only have a limited amount of these weapons, I must stress that they can only be used against military targets.  We've also airdropped several commando units behind enemy lines to provide intelligence and disrupt our enemy's reaction to this new offensive.  I strongly recommend sending your V1s to well entrenched targets our commandos have detected.

**Note:  V1 Flying Bombs behave like aircraft, but once they make an attack they are removed. V1 units also cannot refuel or rearm once airborne.**

As a warning, and despite any evidence to the contrary, the weather is quite frightful.  Therefore I strongly recommend using your V1 assets immediately, and also not bringing too many of your own fighters and bombers to battle. The snowy weather will shield your ground forces from enemy air attack as well as rendering your own air force impotent.  Also, remember that the weather and snow will compound our already serious supply situation, so be prepared!

Lastly, as if our situation wasn't desperate enough, we are experiencing a severe shortage of trained soldiers.  As a result, many of your previously elite units have had to spread out their experienced officers.

Good luck on your latest campaign, Herr General, Germany is counting on this last ditch effort to win the war!

**Note:  SE Unit limit for this campaign is 6.  Experience cap has been REDUCED to 325.**

### Decisive victory

I commend you on a brilliantly orchestrated start to our new offensive, Herr General.   If we keep up this rate of success, I have no doubt we'll be celebrating in Antwerp come January!

Before we get ahead of ourselves though, I want you to decide where you wish to commit your forces.  While the direct route seems most logical, our forces will eventually need to secure important bridge crossings on the Ourthe and Meuse rivers, especially after the spring thaw.  Regardless of the choice you make, expect Allied resistance to be light, but growing in strength as you advance further and further into their lines.

The choice is yours, Herr General.

Advance directly to Antwerp!

Seize vital river crossings!

### Marginal victory

A respectable start to our new offensive, Herr General.   If we keep up this rate of success, I believe we might just make it to Antwerp after all!

### Defeat

Without a successful start to this new campaign, I'm afraid that to continue forward now would only invite continuing disaster. You are ordered to Berlin to report for your failings while I attempt to salvage this situation.

Dismissed!
