Mission 17: Block Party

January 14, 1945.

The failure of the Ardennes Offensive has opened new possibilities for the Allies. All that means to your squad is more fighting. The Germans have gone over to the defensive, forming "hedgehog" fortresses in every town. These are supported by what few armored vehicles they have remaining. Your squad has been assigned the task of clearing one area of a Belgium village, using the tried and true "Corkscrew and Blowtorch" approach. You have been promised armor support, which will arrive after you have completed some initial scouting of the area.

Your Squad

Purchase new equipment for your squad. In addition, you receive at no cost, a satchel charge, flamethrower, and a radio.

Set Up

Use Map 'B'. The top of the map is the north edge. Your soldiers may enter the map in any hex on the west edge between 'A-1' and 'A-19', inclusive.

Activation Levels

The Activation Levels are as follows:

• c1: 0-2
• c2: 0-2
• c3: 0-4
• c4: 0-4

Special Rules

River. The water barrier from A-6 to Y-17 is a river and may be crossed at an intact bridge only.

Victory

You need 25 Victory Points to win. You receive Victory Points for the activation of Germans. You receive 1 Victory Point for each building hex your men enter. Other ways of gaining Victory Points will be revealed during the mission. The game when:

1. In Condition 3 or 4 if there are no active Germans on the map and every building has been entered by your men. You do not have to enter burning buildings. If the mission ends in this manner, you will not lose any Victory Points for incapacitated men remaining on the map.

2. Active Germans remain on the map and all active US soldiers have exited from the map from any west edge hex. (Incapacitated US soldiers must be exited to avoid Victory Point loss).

Transcription note: the scan prints "burnung" in the victory text; it is corrected here to "burning". Obvious misprints of single words are normalized in this file ("market" to "marker" in 028, "occured" to "occurred" throughout); other spellings are kept as printed. The printed wording "The game when:" is kept as printed.

Vehicles

Halftrack

Large, armored, open vehicle.

• Crew: 5
• Maximum occupants: 8
• Movement Point Allowance:
  • Slow - 4
  • Fast - 7

Hit Chart

Facing	Front	Side	Rear
Tire	0-1	0	--
Tread	2(M)	1-3(M)	0(M)
Body	3-5(M)	4-6(L)	1-6(L)
Gun	6-8(M)	7(M)	7(M)
Crew	9	8-9	8-9

Damage Effects

• Tire: Vehicle cannot be driven fast. If occupied, make immediate accident check.
• Tread: If penetration equals, or exceeds the armor rating, vehicle is immobilized.
• Body: If penetration result is equal to, or exceeds the armor rating, use the following chart:
  • Light: Reduce crew by one.
  • Medium or Heavy: Vehicle destroyed, all of the occupants are killed.
• Gun: If penetration equals, or exceeds the armor rating, cannon is knocked out and the crew is reduced one.
• Crew: Reduce the crew by one. If hit scored by aimed automatic weapon fire, reduce the crew by one, and continue rolling for additional hits. (13/6).

Special Panther Rules

The Panther is exactly the same as the Panzer IV, for game purposes, with the following exceptions:

1. Rear body armor is heavy.
2. Fast Movement Point Allowance is 7.

Paragraphs

The numbered paragraphs below are looked up during play, as directed by the Mission Card or by another paragraph. Paragraph 021 is printed twice: once in the list, and once on a cut-out marked "Cut this out and place over the preceding", which replaces the paragraph above it.

001

One soldier sees a row of barbed wire ahead to the east, running north and south. Roll one die for distance:

• 0-4: adjacent hex,
• 5-6: 2 hexes away,
• 7-8: 3 hexes away,
• 9: 4 hexes away.

Roll one die for length:

• 0-2: 3 hexes,
• 3-6: 5 hexes,
• 7-9: 7 hexes.

The center will be the hex immediately to the east. Place booby trap markers to represent the wire.

If in Operations, barbed wire may be moved through normally. If in Rounds, wire costs +1 movement point to enter, and every soldier must fall prone upon entering. Soldiers may continue to move in the same turn if they have the necessary MP's to do so.

When a soldier attempts to leave a Barbed Wire hex, roll one die. On an 0 the soldier is wounded, remains prone and loses the remainder of turns in the current round. On a roll of 1 the result is the same, except the soldier is not wounded. On each successive turn the soldier may again roll to see if he can free himself from the wire. The wire effects Germans as well as Americans. The wire may be removed by setting off a satchel charge in the hex.

045

One German, chosen at random, goes berzerk. Use the new stats and action paragraphs listed below to replace his old ones. Use this set until he is either incapacitated, or ceases to be berzerk.

Stats: IN: 5 PC: 9 WS: +2 MPA: 5

Die	Condition 1-2	Condition 3-4
0-2	812	928
3-5	825	812
6-8	869	869
9	003	003

One US soldier, chosen at random, goes berzerk. Use the new stats listed below in place of his old ones.

Stats: IN: 5 PC: 9 WS: +2 MPA: 5

This soldier is not subject to panic while berzerk and will move toward the nearest enemy man, snap firing as he moves, until in the same hex as the enemy. He will then assault to kill. If he is out of ammo, he will move as fast as possible toward the nearest enemy man, and will assault to kill when in the same hex. If bazooka armed, he will fire at enemy vehicle or man, if in sight. If not in sight, he will move as quickly as possible toward enemy vehicle or man and fire when he is able.

Wounds against this man are modified as follows:

Old result	New result
Panic	No effect

Go to condition 3. See 080 for all the information on this German.

079

Activate GE 12, crouching, in the hex in which there is the halftrack.

080

The German halftrack is a crew vehicle similar to a tank, with the exception that to drive slowly requires only 1 crew point and to drive fast requires only 2. It has an anti-tank gun mounted in the front that may fire only the facing hexrow. Treat it as a tank main gun for combat. If ordered by a paragraph to fire the cannon in a turn it does not move, the halftrack will swivel in place (cost of 1 crew point) in order to fire at a valid target. It also has a light machine-gun mounted on a swivel in the rear that can fire into every direction except directly forward. This machinegun is a crew weapon and requires 2 crew points to aim fire.

If this vehicle is adjacent to a German that is directed to move into the hex the vehicle occupies, he enters the vehicle instead. If there are any crew missing due to wound effects, the new German will take over that position to bring the crew up to strength. If there is a full crew of five, the German will ride as a passenger only until needed to fill in a crew spot.

If the halftrack becomes immobilized and the cannon is knocked out, and there are still active crew, see 069.

090

(S0) Activate GE 14, roll one die: 0-4 it appears in Y-8, 5-9 it appears in Y-16. Go to condition 4.

091

The vehicle is stuck! This was a camouflaged tank trap. Nothing short of a tank recovery vehicle will be able to extricate it. The vehicle is considered immobilized, but not disabled. It can still fire and is a -1 to be hit. If a tread or tire hit is rolled, roll again for another part of the vehicle.

092

The soldier hears an ominous creaking and quickly scrambles to an adjacent hex (your choice). He sees that this is a disguised tank trap and if he had fallen through the branches, he could have been seriously hurt.

093

(S2) The Sherman finally arrives! Roll 1 die:

• 0-4 it appears at A-5,
• 5-9 it appears at A-17.

See 758 for more information. Go to condition 3.

094

The soldier falls through the tree branches into a tank trap concealed below! The fall could have hurt him; roll on the "Pistol Damage Table". It will require one action to climb out. While in the pit, the soldier can only be seen from an adjacent hex and defends with an additional -2 to hit.

095

Battalion HQ calls and tells you that there are friendly aircraft in the area and that you can call an airstrike if you wish. The airstrike will occur next round in place of the event check. You can attack any hex on the map, using the "Spotting Round Scatter Diagram" from mission 10, with the following changes:

1. The hex must be designated now, not during the event phase.
2. You cannot "walk" an airstrike. Where it lands is what you get.
3. Any soldiers or vehicles in the detonation hex are attacked on the "Satchel Charge, Inside Damage Effects Table".
4. Any soldiers and vehicles in the hex adjacent to the detonation are attacked on the "Satchel Charge, Outside Damage Effect Table". If there is a wooden or stone building between the hex and the hex of detonation, reduce the damage die roll by 1 and 2, respectively. Buildings are reduced to rubble, all other types of terrain are cratered.

096

The Germans call in mortar fire! Place a spotting round or move round already on the board as in mission 10. The Germans will attempt to hit the hex with the most Americans in it. If all possible target hexes have the same number of Americans in them, choose one at random. Placement of a round may not be closer than three hexes to an active German. When the mortar strike location is resolved, roll on "Satchel Charge, Outside Damage Table" for each American in the hex. Buildings are reduced to rubble, all other hexes are cratered.

097

(S9) Activate GE 7 in N-9, crouching, GE advantage.

098

Activate GE 10, 11, 12, and 13 in the hex the halftrack occupies, crouching.

Errata and Additions from Battleplan #4

The following errata sheet ("Mission: Block Party, Errata and additions from Battleplan #4") is printed on the same scanned page as unrelated Battleplan #7 articles, which are not part of this scenario and are not transcribed. Its byline is omitted.

Berserker Rules, Modified

Superman belongs in the cartoons, not in Ambush. To make a berzerker soldier somewhat more human, modify the rules as follows:

An old wound result has the effect that the berzerker loses a turn, and on a new roll of 5-9 he falls prone. In addition his WS is reduced by 1. But he is not wounded. If his WS falls to 3 he is no longer berzerk. All the old results takes effect when a berzerk soldier returns to normal. This means that a soldier who have recieved 2 old wound results or more is incapacitated.

A Result that would kill a normal soldier would most likely kill a berzerker as well, but ok, this is after all still a game.
