See you on the battlefield, commanders.

Hello commanders,

It is good to be back. Hot on the heels of the free Reinforcement Pack 11#: Low Countries' Lions’ release, gifting two new NATO divisions to all owners of WARNO, we return to WARNO - SOUTHAG with a preview of the last Operation to be featured in our new expansion: Siegfried's Wrath.

Let’s go!



[h2]WARNO - SOUTHAG’s Siegfried's Wrath[/h2] Siegfried's Wrath is the last of the four Operations of our new expansion. Like the other scenarios, they center around a strategic counter-strike by NATO against a wavering Warsaw Pact set near the Czechoslovakian frontier in southern West Germany.

Siegfried's Wrath takes place on June 26th, meaning it is chronologically the first Operation within the WARNO - SOUTHAG timeline. Featuring the West German 1. Luftlande-Division, it shows the initial NATO actions in the campaign to push the Czechoslovaks back across the Iron Curtain.

[previewyoutube](insérer vidéo Steph en lien plus haut)[/previewyoutube]

After the initial strikes by the Warsaw Pact, the Czechoslovak People’s Army didn’t advance much deeper into West Germany, hesitant to leave the protective air cover and nearby support of the Soviet Central Group of Forces. NATO, desperate to regain the initiative, launches the air assault in order to establish a bridgehead across the Danube near Deggendorf. Once established, this bridgehead will serve as the West German and Canadian fixing attacks as depicted in the Army General campaign Holding Attack.



[h2]Siegfried's Wrath detailed[/h2] Siegfried's Wrath is a large-scale surprise attack mounted by the West German 1. Luftlande-Division. As a commander, you have been awarded the command of the offensive’s recon and support units, tasked with leading the division to success on the battlefield. Mind you, the forces available to you are limited in size and power. You mostly get to play with recon teams, artillery batteries, attack helicopters, and close air support.



The challenge in this Operation isn’t the assault itself, but instead supporting the unfolding attack with accurate battlefield reconnaissance and prompt use of artillery fires to destroy enemy positions. The AI controls the main West German force on the ground; as a commander, you take charge of the recon and supporting arms. As such, you need to deploy your scout units smartly, identify enemy defensive points, and pave the way for the offensive. This also means providing artillery support and smoke when needed. Furthermore, if heavy armor shows up, attack helos and airstrikes can neutralize even the deadliest of enemy threats.



You’ll have to monitor the frontline throughout the mission. The communists will fight back, and the units under your command are light and vulnerable if caught. Breakthroughs need to be reinforced, counterattacks beaten back. You only get a limited amount of units, which means some tough decisions in the field. However, your battlefield conduct in Siegfried's Wrath will prove pivotal in determining the success or failure of the mission, especially as enemy reinforcements will start pouring in to crush the bridgehead.
