OOB Planning--Germany, 1938-1945

[unmerged(88697)]

April 1939-Continued Preparations for War

(above) OPERATION FALL WEISS—Production: A parlementary scandal has interrupted production. A 15% reduction in efficiency is expected through April. This activity will delay the deployment of about half the tank destroyers, and all the artillery for the infantry.

This short-fall in production will not affect line divisions, only auxiliary battillions, and will not delay the opening of hostilites against Poland.

OPERATION FALL WEISS—South-Eastern Border Area: The build-up continues with unit assembly areas generally one full province from the border. Along the southern border General Paulus commands the 2nd Army with Field Marshall von Kluge in overall command. The job of this army is to simply contain the Poles, and keep them spread-out as much as possible.

Second army consists of two infantry corps (8 divisions) under Lt General Volkmann and Blaskowtz who will defend the border along a line from Grunberg to the south-east province of Beuthen. The 10th Mountain Army (3 divisions) commanded by General Dietl will refuse the flank at the far southern end of the line. The mobile reserve XVIII corps (3 divisions) under Lt. General Dietrich will be available to counter-attack and prevent any possible breakthrough in this region.


OPERATION FALL WEISS—Ruhr and Rhine Fortresses: General Model is in overall command from Stuttguart, and he commands two armys. The duty of these forces are to hold the line and prevent any French breakthrough.

In the Southern Rhine region, 1st Army (12 divisions) under General von Leeb will occupy the fortresses from Landau to the Swiss border. This force consists of three infantry corps under under Generals von Axlhelm, Kampfe, and Henrici.

The northern Ruhr region will be defended by 7th Army (16 division) under General von Salmuth. Three corps under Lt. Generals; Brand, Engelbrech, and Hell are arranged for defense-in-depth around the province of Saarbruck. The reserve corps under Lt. General von Falkenhorst is positioned between Bitburgh and Bonn to counter-attack on the flank, and prevent any possible breakout to the north. The reserves may also be SR'd south to plug any impending gaps along the Rhine.

Note: Corps and Divisional leaders were selected with an emphisis on Fortress Buster skills. These skills will come in useful for diversionary and flanking attacks if the French unwisely attempt a frontal assault.

June, 1939--Achtung, Panzer!

The upcoming campaign in Poland is the first to use the new Schwerpunk strategy (a.k.a. Bliztkreig). The tactic is a carry-over from WW1, only with modernized equipment. Typically, it begins with an infantry assault and artillery barrage. Once the enemy front is broken, gaps in the line are exploited by fast-moving armored units supported by infantry in trucks.

DIAGRAMING MOBILE INFANTRY: The two main units designed especially for this campaign are Mobile Infantry and Light Mobile Infantry. Germany also has specialized armored and recon formations, but they will be covered at a later time.

(above) Mobile Infantry of 7th Panzer division, as designed. This unit is deadly because it combines hardness (<50) with combined arms attack. In SF, “hard” units do double damage to “soft” units (>50), but that advantage has been toned-down somewhat in FTM. These units now rely more heavily on the Combined Arms Attack, and that advantage is increased by using leaders with the “Panzer” trait.

(above) Light Mobile Infantry of the 2nd Mobile Infantry division. As with all panzer formations, this unit has the combined-arms advantage (so designated by the highlights around the teddy bear). Light mobile infantry is designated “E” for engineers, this designation making it easier to spot during operations. This variant was designed specifically for cross-river assaults as there are many such situations in Western Europe. Light mobile infantry may also be used for armor support against fortifications.

(Note * = the engineer unit doesn't have bridgeing equipment or assault equpment, but that will be available at the start of 1940.)

Cross-river attack advantage is futher enhanced by a leader with the “Engineer” trait. Little is lost as the unit will still retain its inherent combined-arms advantage, and that trait is further enhanced with panzer leaders at Corps and Army HQ's.

Eratta: To obtain the combined-arms advantage a unit needs to be between 33 and 66 hardness. It was discovered the original design called for an armored car, but that combination doesn't qualify for the combined-arms advantage. So, the former is replaced by a tank destroyer, which happens to slow the unit down by 1kpm. To add a little more punch one could substitute a medium panzer and re-designate the unit as “Mobile Engineers.” But, on the other hand, Light Mobile Infantry is more fuel efficient, while retaining nearly as much firepower. So, its really up to the player which combination of unit suits the operation best.


WAR CABINET—Changes: In order to gain better intellegence on France (land intellegence), Carl von Schubert replaces Adm. Canaris as head of intellegence. Also, in order to preserve artillery practical delay during the build-up, Walter von Luttwiltz replaces General von Brauchtsch.

DIPLOMACY: Germany has obtained transit rights through Turkey. Turkey is a strategic goal, and it will prove an important launching pad for future operations in the Eastern Mediterranean.


GERMANY DECISION POINT—Memel: Germany obtains a claim on Lithuania's port of Memel, providing a bit more breathing room in case the Pole's launch a major assault against East Prussia (the worst-case scenerio).


SECRET MOBILIZATION: About 2-3 months before outbreak of war Germany begins the mobilization process by replaceing Armament Minister Flick with Franz Xavier-Schwartz. The loss of additional IC's is minimal, while this change will help preserve strategic stockpiles for later in the game.

Secondly; Germany stops influencing Finland--the Fins will begin aligning to Germany anyway upon the start of the Winter War. All German leadership in research, espionage, and diplomacy is now directed to officer recruitment. The 3-year draft is not the ideal conscription policy, but it's important to maximize officer recruitment especially after such a large-build-up.

Thirdly; production sliders are shifted to priortize upgrades. Upgrading has been of secondary importance to this point, but it's important that every unit obtain the latest equipment before going into battle (especially against the Anglo-French alliance).

OPERATION FALL WEISS—Battleplan: (above) The central plains of Poland are ideal for panzer warfare, so this is where the hammer-blow will fall. The plan is simple; Crack the Polish line in the north-west, and drive to victory (purple arrows).

OPERATION FALL WEISS--North-Eastern Border Area: (above) Along the north-eastern border region is the 4th Army, which is commanded by General von Mackensen (with Field Marshall von Kluge in overall command at Breslau). The purpose of this army is to smash the enemy lines at the border (red arrows), thus enabling the panzers to make their break-through. The 4th Army infantry will then follow the panzers and contain any pockets that arise in the aftermath.

Fourth army consists of four infantry corps (16 divisions) under Lt General Witzleben, von Reichenau, List, and von Schobert, AND one mobile reserve corps (3 divisions) under Lt. General Hausser.

(above) The 8th Panzer army under Lt General von Manstein will deliver the decisive blow in this campaign. It consists of three mobile infantry corps (9 divisions) supported by two armored corps (6 divisions). The mobile infantry corps will be commanded by Lt. Generals Hopner, Geyr von Schweppenburg, and von Brauchitsch. The armored corps will be commanded by Lt. Generals Guderian and Rommel. No better group of panzer leaders was ever assembled for such a purpose!

This will be a short conflict, and immediately afterwards all divisions will be SR'd to the West to face the English and French. In their place, a number of reserve guard posts are currently being conscripted to man the new border with the Soviet Union.

Next time: The Polish Campaign

 

[Cybvep]

Looks good. What are your plans in regard to:

a) Switzerland
b) the UK
c) Norway
d) Sweden
e) Spain

?

 

[Modo]

Are 3+1 divisions that bad, or do you intend to expand the ones you make to 3+2 in the future?

 

[Hardradi]

A very Prussian battle plan. Everything is meticulously calculated and attended to. Cant wait to see your divisions roll across the plains.

Surely the Fuhrer has set a timeframe for this campaign?


I like the way you have the unit counter in the top rigth of this screenshot:

This should be a feature of the game. You should then be able to cycle through the division names and pick one if you want to, or type in your own name at this stage.

 

[unmerged(88697)]

Are 3+1 divisions that bad, or do you intend to expand the ones you make to 3+2 in the future?

Ya, there are the 3+1 infantry divisions, but armored units fall under different category entirely. Germany has some improved "armored infantry" corps on the drawing board, and these feature two panzers and one infantry brigade (if that's what you mean).

As for 5 brigade divisions, I don't know (there, I said it). FTM has new stacking rules, so will have to test as we go along.

 

[unmerged(88697)]

Looks good. What are your plans in regard to . . . Countries ?

Germany's biggest concern after France is the SU. But, to answer specifically:

a) Switzerland--no plans
b) the UK--London is a strategic goal, so possible invasion depending on how the fall of France goes
c) Norway--invasion plans in work
d) Sweden--A strategic goal, and currently influencing them to swing towards the Axis
e) Spain--Gibraltar is a strategic goal. But, don't like Spain in the Axis for a number of reasons, mostly that Germany can't afford to defend it prior to Barbarossa.

 

[Matnjord]

Germany has some improved "armored infantry" corps on the drawing board, and these feature two panzers and one infantry brigade

Not sure I understand the reasoning behind the concept of this division, as this amounts to using panzers as infantry support, pretty much heresy in my book, but please do prove me wrong

Anyway, nice to see some proper planning, always enjoyable to read.

Sep, 1939—War with the West

GERMANY DECISION POINT—War with the Allies: The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was finally signed on September 1, about 10 days before war broke out. This late signing catches the Allies by surprise, and doesn't give much time to prepare. German units now move to their start positions.

One of the advantages of a regular army is that there are so few reserves to activate, so actual mobilization is not until Sep. 7. The fleet is now dispatched to several regions in the Baltic Sea, while two groups of submarines were positioned in the North Sea between Norway and the Orkney Islands.

The Danzig or War event was triggered on September 11. At this time German industrial policy was changed to Heavy Industry, while economic laws remained at War Economy in order to help conserve resources.

OPERATION FALL WEISS--Execution. (above) Map showing opening moves at Midnight on Sep 11. One of the advantages of declaring war is knowing when it comes before the enemy does. Upon declaring war the game was paused, and attack order(s) given. There is no way the Polish AI will be allowed to decide this course of action.

(above) Snapshots taken one week in, two weeks in, and a day before surrender. German panzers literally raced through the interior of the country, while in their wake, infantry mopped-up any pockets of resistance. Polish campaign lasted just twenty days, from Sep 11 to Oct 1.


AXIS DIPLOMACY: Hungary joins the AXIS on Oct 23. Germany now begins to use central European nations as a counter-weight to the Soviet Union.


OPERATION WESERUBUNG: Invasion of Denmark and Norway. After numerious naval engagments in the Baltic, it becomes necessary for Germany to occupy Denmark and Norway. Closing the passage around Denmark should prevent any chance of invasion along the Baltic coastline. In the mean time, reserve guard units are posted at every major naval port. The invasion of Denmark and Norway is code named Weserubung.

OPERATON FALL GLEB: The invasion of France and the Low Countries is code named “Yellow,” and will use essentially the same forces that recently swept through Poland. The Poles had the largest army in Europe after the SU and Germany, so the main concern with France is not numerical strength, rather, their armored forces. A full intellegence report will be made before finalizing this battleplan.


OPERATION FALL ROT: A separate operational plan to assault the Maginot line is code named “Red.” This operation will employ the same armys (24 divisions) originally formed to defend the Rhine fortresses. Fall Rot will be triggered immediately upon the success of Fall Gleb.


ARMY REORGANIZATION AND NEW FORMATIONS—Standard Armor, Armored Infantry, and Light Armored Infantry:

(above) With advancements in Spearhead Doctrine and Self-propelled artillery battilions, the old Corps organization is no longer valid, as well, several new armored formations become possible. In this scheme, existing formations will remain the same; The upgrade path is to simply add new units to the Corps. As before, each Corps is restricted to five divisions and a combat width of ten.

Mountain and paratroop divisions will now fall under the category of Army Special Forces (blue). Special forces are expected to fight as individual units, so they do not have the stacking and frontage limitations of regular infantry formations (green).

Special forces deploy with their own Army HQ(s), although individual divisons may be attached to regular Corp's HQ for short durations. Enabling doctrines for special forces are Special Forces (moral), Human Wave (unit cooperation) and Grand Battleplan (reserve advancement).

All armored formations (magenta) have the combined-arms advantage. The majority of armored divisions are also “hardened” (brown), so-named because they have between 33-50% softness.

The new Armored Infantry differ from the old Mobile Infantry in that they deploy two armored brigades instead of one. Now, instead of, essentially, infantry supported by armor; the new formations are primarily armor supported by infantry. Armored Infantry also use the new self-propelled artillery, which greatly enhances their firepower.


OCCUPATION POLAND—Garrisons, Mobile Police, and Guard Posts:

(above) Occupation forces in Poland around April of 1940. Red areas of the mapboard indicate high revolt risk. Garrisons (3Gar+AA) occupy the Baltic ports. Guard posts of militia (Mil+MP) and military police (MP) are assigned to the border area to keep an eye on the Soviets. Guard posts are typically built as Mil+3MP, then may split into separate entities. For example, guard post at Poznan protects a strategic asset, while its “satellite” MP's provide supression to nearby industrial centers. These units all fall under command of Theatre HQ in Berlin.

Security forces consist of four (4) mobile guard units (Cav+AC), which are assigned to population centers (two are hidden under HQ's). These units typically employ Old Guard leaders with offensive traits. Should the partisans strike Poznan, security forces will have plenty of time to respond. Enabling technologys are; Security units (MPs), Cavalary weapons, Militia Weapons, and Peoples Army. Security research is always on-going, albet at low-priority in the queue.

HQ's provide for logistical and organizational needs of security forces. In this case, the above fall under the command of Army HQ Poland, which is directed by Army Group Warsaw.

Note 1: All the above were constructed as “reserves” since they can be built much cheaper by temporary adjustments to conscription policy. This practice is particularly useful when heavy demands are placed on the build queue.

Note 2: Reserve units do not regularly upgrade or re-enforce because that takes IC's away from more important needs. So, upon deployment, security forces are checked; “do not upgrade,” and “do not reenforce.” Exceptions are made for units that are depleted after battle.

Next time: The Phony War

 

[Darth Moose]

That was very good. I prefer to attack NE from Lubliniec to Warsaw, along with attacks through Slovakia.

I like your occupation strategy. I usually go with 1 Gar + 1 MP for occupation, 1 or 2 Gar with 1 or 2 AA for port defense.

 

[timkoningskelp]

Very interesting to see how much effort you put into your OOB (hence the name of your AAR ofcourse ;-) ).

Wil surrely be following this one!

 

[Avindian]

When you first begin planning, do you break up all existing formations or do you simply add to what already exists? For example, in '36, Germany has a lot of 4 x INF divisions. Not sure if that's still true in '38, but assuming it is, would you drop the fourth brigade from each division, then make new divisions with the extra brigades? (I think I'm making sense, but it is pretty early in the morning for me. )

 

[unmerged(88697)]

Not sure I understand the reasoning behind the concept of this division, as this amounts to using panzers as infantry support, pretty much heresy in my book, but please do prove me wrong

The original mobile infantry doesn't quite have the punch to take-on pure armor divisions. The design concept around the new formation is a combined-arms attack combined with hardness less than 50%. Once Spearhead Doctrine is achieved, it's simply a matter of doubling-up the panzers and replacing the TD with SPA.

 

[unmerged(88697)]

When you first begin planning, do you break up all existing formations or do you simply add to what already exists?

Ya, it's a combination of things. The new 3,3,2,2 corps is something of a hybred using the best of 3+1 and 2+1 divisions. Since Germany starts with 3inf divisions, it's a matter of creating 2inf divisions. This can be done with a minimum of mouse clicks by:

a. Forming corps with three divisions of 3inf.
b. Take some left-over divisions, and break them down to individual brigades. (1inf, 1inf, 1inf)
c. Spread the individual infantry brigades among existing corps, bringing them up to 10inf each.
d. Within each corps;
...i. Combine a 3inf with 1inf, making a 4inf division.
...ii. Split the 4inf into 2x 2inf.
f. Now add artillery and AA guns to the appropriate formations as they come off the assembly line. (note: the AA gun doubles as anti-tank weapon later in the game)

 

[flavioso20]

Great AAR!
The OOB planing technique is very interesting.

Jan, 1940—The Phony War




Why the "Phony War?" Doesn't it make better sense after moving its divisions west to simply continue the fighting?

Still, it takes time to move everything to proper positions, to finish upgrading, to train paratroops, and to round-out the panzer corps with additional formations.

So, instead for ground warfare, the Lufwaffe is tasked with continuing the combat. This is the nature of the “phony war.”

Now is the time to gather intelligence, and to finalize invasion plans. While this may be called “lightning” warfare, in reality it requires months (in game time) of pre-positioning and planning to pull off.


GERMAN INTELLEGENCE—French Government

(above) France appears to have poor Unity and at least some Dissent. The Government itself is fractured as Fascist parties are not properly represented in the cabinet. The country is short of manpower and resources, and has limited production capacity. In short, Ill de France is ripe for conquest.


GERMAN INTELLEGENCE—French Army

(above) The French Army appears to have 115 divisions. Their Artillery Practical is on the rise, most probably from the construction of provincial AA. Otherwise, the army is concentrating on doctrines and Mountain warfare equipment.

(above right) French armor at the Maginot line; About 21 total divisions can be counted here. (above left) On the Italian border a further 19 divisions are found. Thus, intelligence estimates a maximum of 64 divisions will be available to defend northern France and Belgium.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—The Shlieffen Plan:

(above) This was the original plan from WW1 where the German Army would pivot around the Maginot Line through the low countries. The task of carrying out this phase of the assault will be assigned the 2d Army.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—The Guderian Plan:

(above) As Germany does not have numerical superiority, it will be necessary to defeat the Allies piece-meal. The Al is wired to anticipate the Shlieffen Plan, and will most likely counter by moving units north to slow its progress.

The defeat of Allied forces in the low countries requires rapid encirclement. Guderian's plan begins with a dagger thrust through the Ardennes (red lines). The panzers then rush to cross the Meuse River at Sedan, and immediately push west towards Ameins, reaching the coast around Boulogne or Calais. New defensive lines will be established to prevent the flow of supplies north (white lines). A paratroop drop and assault is planned for the fortress at Liege (purple).

The panzers should enjoy numerical superiority at the point of contact, while French and British forces that have taken the bait will find themselves cut-off from supply, and facing the crushing weight of infantry from the north. After these units are liquidated, Germany will enjoy numerical superiority throughout the final conquest of France.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—Special Operations: The fortress at Liege sits astride the panzer's supply lines, and must be dealt with. Therefore, as soon as the panzers finish crossing the River Meuse at Sedan, a special assault from four provinces will capture the fort. These forces will be led by engineer-equipped panzer formations, as well as paratroops dropped from above.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—OOB:

(above) The victor of Poland, Field Marshall von Kluge, will be in overall command from his new headquarters in Frankfurt. From here he will direct 2 panzer corps, 6 motorized infantry corps, 14 infantry corps, and special forces for a total of some 74 divisions. A further 28 divisions assigned to the Rhine fortresses represent the reserve.

IThe French Army is anticipated to have 64 divisions to contend with in Northern France. In addition, the allies will have contingents from Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. On paper then, the odds are about even. Germany's principal advantage lay in the number of panzers, and these will become the deciding factor.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—Production:

(above) Once again, crushing demands are placed upon factories. The Army's request didn't materialize until January 1, 1940, and a schedule of production is required immediately!

Since the last report, production has finished-up artillery for the infantry, and produced all the occupation forces for Poland.

The latest request is now for:

12 mobile infantry divisions
6 recon armor divisions
4 standard armor divisions

In addition, ten (10) elite infantry brigades must be upgraded to paratroopers, while ten (10) new infantry divisions must be raised to take their place.

The maximum IC's available is 220. On this basis, the job can will require a minimum of 194 days (not including paratroop upgrade time). Since the operation is scheduled for June 1, unit production must again be prioritized.

Priority will be given to paratroop upgrades and to new infantry brigades. After this, divisions that finish faster will be pushed up in the queue. In this case, recon armor and mobile infantry will be available sooner than standard armor. All unit requests should be compted by mid-July.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—Command Assignments:

(above) General von Bock's 2d Army is assigned to attack the Netherlands (red arrows), driving the defenders back and moving towards the southwest (purple arrows). The operation will be conducted by four (4) infantry corps, with one mobile infantry division in reserve. Individual corps assignments will be as shown.

(above) General von Mackenson's 4th Army is assigned to make the initial breakthrough in the Ardennes (red arrows). Panzers will then exploit this gap (purple arrows), while 4'th army follows-up and seals the gap between the Maginot line and the fortress at Liege. The operation will be conducted by four (4) infantry corps, with one mobile infantry division in reserve. Individual corps assignments will be as shown.

(above) General von Manstein's 8th Panzer Army will again have the honors of delivering the coup de gras'. His forces will consist of three mobile infantry corps and two panzer corps. A stellar group of corps commanders is again assembled, they including; Guderian, Rommel, Hausser, Hopner, and von Schweppenburg. The panzers are finally to meet armored formations of the enemy, and we shall see which emerges the better.


Next time: The Invasion of France

 

[unmerged(88697)]

Mar, 1940—The Invasion of France

Updated division designs:

(above) Amphibious units in deep blue, and Mountain units in brown. Essentially the infantry goes ashore without heavy weapons. The strategy is then to capture a port to bring in heavy weapons and supplies.


DIPLOMACY: Romania and the Axis: After the 2d Vienna award went to Hungary, relations with Romania were none too good. Then, however, the Soviets claimed Bessarabia on 2 June, and the following day Romaina quietly started aligning towards the Axis.

GERMAN INTELLEGENCE—British Army and Air Forces:

Intellegence estimates the British Army to have a total of 97 divisions, many of these inferior quality “home guards.” They have been working on improving weaponery for infantry, artillery, and tanks, as well as doctrines for infantry warfare and assault concentration.The Royal Air Force possesses about seventeen (17) wings of aircraft.


OPERATION SEALION—The code name for the invasion of the English Islands will be Operation Sealion. London is a strategic goal, and the best time to invade is immediately upon the fall of France when the Alliance is at its weakest.

The Kriegsmarine had been taking quite a beating at the hands of the Royal Navy, but enough German surface ships still survive for this all-important mission. During the phony war a number of transports were quietly placed in the build queue. By July of 1940, Germany should have sufficient to transports to hold an entire armored corps, with a similar number of transports in reserve.


OPERATION SEALION—Battleplan:

(above) Initial landings will occur on the southeast coast of England at Brighton (red arrows). These will be accompained by a paratroop drop on London itself (majenta). The object of the landing is the port of Dover, where supplies, fresh troops, and panzers will be quickly ferryed from the protected port of Antwerp. The army will then sweep west (purple arrows, conquering all the channel ports, using the river Thames as a defensive line (white arrows). Bristol is a key objective to anchor the western flank. After all objectives are achieved, the army will then be free to advance northwards.


OPERATION WESERUBUNG: Battleplan: The a postponement of this operation is due to the loss of so many supply transports at the outset of the war. But, the invasion is back on again, and will probably occur at the same time as Sealion.

(above) Initial landings in Norway will be on the southeast coast at Drammen (red arrows). The object of the landing is the port of Oslo, where supplies and fresh troops will be ferryed from the port of Kiel. An infantry corps will then establish a defensive line across the four provinces from Skaget to the Swedish border (white arrows). A second infantry corps will drive along the coast to the port of Kristiansand (purple arrows), then work northwards to capture the ports of Bergen and Boknafjorden. Meanwhile, mountain troops will secure the center of the line (blue arrows), and cover the infantry advance to the east and west.


OPERATION FALL GLEB—Execution: The long-awaited invasion of France was finally launched on June 1st. All went according to plan as about 30 divisions of French troops and perhaps 10-15 more of British and commenwealth were liquidated in the Belgian pocket.

(above) Opening moves in the battle of the Ardnnes Forest. The provinces of Verviers and Luxembourgh are attacked by full corps of infantry from two sides. Note diversionary attacks on the Maginot Line to prevent any possibility of French flanking attacks.

(above)
1.June 9: Panzer divisions flow through the gap and penetrate past Verviers and Luxembourgh.
2.June 14: Panzers turn the corner around Liege and cross the Muse River at Tournai.
3.June 21: The fortress at Liege is captured, while panzers overrun the key airfield at Lilly.

(above)
4.June 24. Panzers reach the coast at Boulogne, completing the encirclement of Allied forces in Belgium.
5.June 30. German defensive lines in North of France are consolidated, and the Belgian pocket is squeezed. Allies counterattack at Dunkurque and Herson.
6.Sep 4. Allied counterattack stalled, and the Belgian pocket is nearly entirely liquidated.


Next time: The Fall of France

For someone who does so much math before every move, it's shocking your breakthrough and exploitation units all run at 7kph. How about a proper FAST unit there.
