Tebourba Gap scenario of Combat Command 2: Matrix Edition

A hex-based game focusing on World War II land-based warfare. It combines content from Combat Command 2: Desert Rats and Combat Command 2: Danger Forward!

Gameplay

During each player turn, there is a set of distinct phases (this does not include phases conducted by the computer, such as determining supply and units in command).

1. Movement: Moving units or changing their posture (e.g., to Defense, Attack, Reserve, etc.). Moving to an enemy unit may subject the moving unit to opportunity fire.
2. Direct fire phase: Defending units on both sides may fire on enemy units in range.
3. Assault: Combat by units in Attack posture and adjacent to enemy units take place. Artillery bombardment also takes place or can be used to support assaults).
4. Withdrawal/advance: A failed or successful assault may result in withdrawal away from enemy forces or an advance into the hex won by assault.

Scenarios in the game range from 1940 to 1944. It features amphibious landings and paradrops.

Hexes are 1/2 km and day/night are represented, units are companies (150+ men and 12 or more tanks), artillery units are battalions. Length of turns varies between day and night with 2-hour daylight turns and 4-hour night turns. The number of day and night turns vary depending on whether it is winter (if it is winter, there are more night turns).

The game employs five types of units: headquarters, artillery, anti-tank, armor, and infantry which are broken further into subcategories.
