WARNING ORDER Operation Queen 003 Hurtgen Forest ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION TIME October 7, 1944 @ 1900 EST (0600 IGT) WEATHER: 42F (5C); Heavy Fog; Overcast; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT Last weekend we successfully penetrated the German defenses on the Northwestern corner of our sector. While we had great success in our push to the northwest, 2nd Platoon has been chopped up in an attempt to push northeast towards the Kall River. 2nd Platoon, at less than half strength has consolidated with 3rd Platoon, and they have been forced to dig in and hold in place. Last weekend we took several prisoners, and after interrogation, they were quick to give up information on a coming German Counter Offensive ordered by Field Marshal Walter Model himself, in an attempt to surround and destroy the US Forces bogged down in the forest. Seeing that our forces have been depleted, spread thin, and running low on ammunition, the Germans are preparing a counter attack in an attempt to shatter our remaining forces in this sector. 1st Platoon is being redeployed to cover a stretch of the line just a kilo south of the town of Secheval, a German held town. 1st Platoon will have time to dig trenches, foxholes, gun posititions, and hull down our remaining armor. We can expect heavy artillery barrages on our position, to be followed by several well organized German offensives. 1st Platoon must spread out, cover the entire treeline, and hold the line. If the Germans break through your positions, they will have an open road to Renwez, where our Company HQ, Ammunition, and wounded, lay. If the Germans manage and break through and capture Renwez, there will be no hope of getting out of the forest alive, immediately surrender to the nearest German unit. Due to our good conduct last weekend with German POWs, we can expect that in return you will be treated respectfully as well. If 1st Platoon holds back all the German offensives, launch an immediate counter attack as soon as possible, and attempt to snatch Secheval from the Germans when they are off balance. After Secheval is taken, dig in, and ENDEX in the town. a. Enemy Disposition 275. Infanterie Division 985. Grenadier Regiment 275. Pioniere Battalion 275. Artillerie Battalion 116.

Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support. If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun. Be sure not to stray too far off the planned & assigned path, due to the high probability of undiscovered minefields. Be sure to stay within 1st Platoon's area of operation, venturing off course into 2nd or 3rd Platoon's AO could result in blue on blue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MISSION 1st Platoon, A.

WARNING ORDER Operation Queen 002 Hurtgen Forest ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION TIME October 7, 1944 @ 1900 EST (0600 IGT) WEATHER: 42F (5C); Heavy Fog; Overcast; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT Last weekend we successfully penetrated the initial German defenses on the outskirts of the Hurtgen Forest. After capturing the village of Renwez, 1st Platoon entrenched their positions and have waited a week for reinforcements to trickle in from the rear, all the while under constant shelling from German artillery. In the early morning hours, 3rd Platoon with support from the 71st Armor, launched a probing attack on the Village of Deville, just to our north. 3rd Platoon quickly conducted an unorganized retreat after losing all of their non-commissioned officers, 66% of their platoon, three light armored vehicles, and not even the ability to evacuate all of their wounded. The shocked survivors report the enemy was dug in just southeast of Deville with several light machine gun positions, including a concrete pillbox along the southwestern end of Deville. They also claim that their light armored vehicles had been destroyed by a Tiger. In addition, when the remaining men broke contact and ran back to Renwez, several soldiers ran west into the forest, which was immediately followed with explosions and cries for help. We now believe that the tree line on the western side of Deville is heavily mined, in order to bring our forces into their kill zone. 1st Platoon is now fresh with replacements, and will conduct another attack on Deville at noon, with support form the 71st Armor, who will be bringing heavier armor to the field. 1st Platoon will conduct an assault on Deville, and attempt to drive all the way north along the MSR towards the Germany Artillery positions believed to be in OBJ Jane. There are two main obstacles in between Deville and OBJ Jane, one being a hundred meter tall cliff, where the road has been cut into the mountain, we believe that the Germans will defend this position heavily, and have dubbed it OBJ Marlene. The second obstacle is the forest itself. 1st Platoon will have to slug through two kilometers of forest before reaching OBJ Jane. After our recent experiences it is to be assumed that the forests are heavily mined, so 1st Platoon will stick within 50 meters of either side of the main MSR while advancing through the forest. German resistance is to be expected. Our Sister Platoons will be conducting attacks along the enemy line to our east, in their areas of operation accordingly. a. Enemy Disposition 275.

  7. WARNING ORDER Operation Queen 001 Hurtgen Forest ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION TIME September 30, 1944 @ 1900 EST (0600 IGT) WEATHER: 42F (5C); Heavy Fog; Overcast; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT In September of 1944, as Allied troops closed in along the border of the German homeland, they encountered incredible resistance and heavily fortified positions. With the allied advance grinding to a halt, allied commanders believed that they had found a weak point in the German line, and decided to send several infantry divisions through the Hurtgen Forest, in an attempt to out flank the German defenses. Little did Allied Commanders know that they would be condemning 55,000 American's to die, or live out the rest of their life without all four of their limbs. The Germans had been dug in heavily in the forest, established vast minefields, trench lines, pillboxes, gun emplacements, and used the trees to shield their armor from allied aircraft. The Battle of Hurtgen would be the longest single battle that the US Army has ever been engaged in, and was considered a major U.S. Defeat. This week, we'll be entering the Hurtgen forest for the first time. We will have limited Armor Support, and mortar support. During the previous week, our sister platoons have been conducting combat patrols in no-mans-land, and have successfully mapped several minefields, but some remain undiscovered. Our job will be to be the spearhead of the initial allied breakthrough here in Hurtgen. In addition, last night a German probe engaged 2nd Platoon's combat patrol, and drove them out of our previous patrol base (OBJ Whiskey). Our first objective will be to push down the MSR, and recapture our old Patrol base OBJ Whiskey. After OBJ Whiskey is captured, 1st Platoon will advance up the MSR, towards OBJ Vermouth, the forward positions of the German Line, and will engage and clear their forward positions. From there, 1st Platoon will have a good over watch point, and will conduct an attack on OBJ Brandy, which is our designated segment of the primary German defensive line. 1st Platoon will continue to launch attacks on OBJ Brandy in an effort to clear it, and force the Germans into retreat, no matter the costs. Once OBJ Brandy is taken, 1st Platoon will move into OBJ Scotch, clear out the city, and set up defensive positions, expecting an immediate German Counter attack. Our Sister Platoons will be conducting simultaneous attacks on the enemy line, in their areas of operation, accordingly. a. Enemy Disposition 275. Infanterie Division 985. Grenadier Regiment 275.

  14. Time for our next campaign vote! Option #1 Vietnam Campaign: Operation Lincoln Highway Security - Pleiku 1966 This Designed to be a mini-campaign that recreates the 12 Day Skirmish in Operation Lincoln along the Cambodian Border. The Campaign will consist of the lead up and then culminating into the in the climax of the Operation, when a CH-47 full of 1st Cavalry Division troopers, was shot down & the effort to rescue the wounded survivors of the crash as they held off a significant Vietnamese assault. The Build up to the climax will involve patrols along Highway 19, as well as establishing night time security for air-mobile artillery pieces which were flown into jungle clearings acting as mobile fire support bases. Option #2 Second World War: Battle of Hurtgen Forest Germany - Autumn & Winter of 1944 We will be playing the part of American Infantrymen, who entered Germany in 1944, in the Hurtgen Forest, in an attempt to outflank German forces defending their industrial heartland. American Leaders believed that their forces would be able to march quickly through the forest, and arrive on the open planes of Germany on the far flanks of a Major German Defensive Line. However very quickly it became apparent that the Germans had heavily fortified and mined the forest. The Hurtgen Forest would become a meat grinder, claiming 55,000 Americans, and being the longest running battle that the U.S Army has ever been engaged in, to this day. The Battle was characterized by vast minefields, constant artillery barrages in the dense forest causing tree bursts, patrols through heavy fog, raids between front lines, large hill assaults through barren World War 1-esque battle fields. The dense forest prevented allied Air Support, allowing the Germans to utilize heavy tanks in a defensive posture.

We believe that their few remaining armored vehicles have pulled back with their Viet Cong counterparts to a small fortress on the northern tip of the Island, where they are getting supplied by Sea. This Fortress is very heavily garrisoned. In an effort to thin their ranks, we will be conducting an ambush on the VC infantrymen who often travel to the local villages at night to visit with their families and gather food. We will set up an ambush on the northern side of Taboko Village, using nightfall to get into position. The VC often leave their villages and head back to their strong points just before the sun rises. After eliminating any military aged males that exit the village at sunup, 1st Platoon will sweep the village, then call for resupply after the village is secure. From there 1st Platoon will head north and launch an assault on the last Communist Stronghold on the Island. It is believe that a few armored vehicles have retreated and are in the stronghold. It is also believed that the enemy possess light anti-air craft guns, such as twin 51mm DSHK emplacements. a.

  24. WARNING ORDER Operation Comanche III 01 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION TIME APR 14 1972 @ 1900 EST (0600 IGT) WEATHER: 75F (27C); Fog; Overcast; Wind 1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT In the afternoon hours of April 6th 1972, North Vietnamese Forces launched the largest offensive since Tet in 1968. With the help of local guerrilla, NVA Forces simultaneously launched offensive on every major South Vietnamese Installation and Provencal capitals with large amounts of Russian supplied T-34-85's & T-55. NVA Forces have also utilized their small amount of MiG-21s & AN-2 Colt Aircraft. Control of Pulau Island was handed over to South Vietnamese Forces in December 1971. Since then revolutionary sentiment has been growing due to the lack of action by the South Vietnamese Forces. We believe that over the four month period large caches of supplies, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, and Surface to Air Missiles were smuggled onto the island & used during the offensive. Only a single Platoon of ARVN forces managed to evade capture and be evacuated before the Island fell. All others are believed to have been captured and executed; Viet Cong hit squads also managed to execute a vast majority of the civil officials residing in the cities and villages. We have lost complete control of the Island chain. Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment is to accompany the 4th Battalion, 147th ARVN Marine Regiment and regain control over the island. ARVN Marine Reconnaissance platoon has landed on the southern most tip of Pulau Monyet and begun conducting clandestine reconnaissance of the island. According to their intel, the majority of NVA forces have left the Island to assist with the offensives on the mainland. Control of the Island has been handed over to the NLF, while small contignents of NVA Forces remain to operate and guard the Airfield and Surface to Air Missile installations, which now cover a majority of the island and block the ability to use our fixed wing assets to neutralize Vietnamese Hard points. We are still able to utilize our rotary wing aircraft as long as they operate below 30 Meters from the ground (10 Meters above the Canopy). Since this overlapping system of Surface to Air Missiles has been installed on the Islands, it is believed that two Russian MiG-21's have landed on the Island and intend to operate within the heavy cover of the Surface to Air Missile batteries. a.
