Brettevillette: # 2 German Skirmish mission.
Like in "Tessel" mission, there is a lot of new things:
- Detailed and historical map of Brettevillette, a real village situated at 16kms West of Caen (Normandie - France 1944) with new ground textures
- New script with auto reload points on each flags - News ambiance sounds (cows, pigs, birds, insects, flags..)
- A lot of new voices for German Units!
- New bushes camo and skins for most all German tanks (Now also for the King Tiger).
As suggested by many players for my "Tessel" mission, I’d replace the Churchills (that were too hard to destruct) by others tanks (Comet and the new model of the Cromwell), I suppressed the “Croc” Sherman by a normal ones.
I've also added some Ai mortars (he he).
I've spend a lot of time to propose this hard mission and I hope you will enjoy it! (thank's for your comments and don't forget to vote!)

I'm proud to present you my #2 German skirmish mission: "Brettevillette".
It's a real little village situated at 20kms west of Caen (near Rauray and Tessel) where intensives fights were in June 1944.
Like in my last mission "Tessel", this mission include a lot of new things for Men of War Assault Squad:
- New skirmish script with auto ammo reload points for your units (crates full of ammo, on each flag, to avoid tank stuck) so finish to micro manage your soldiers for ammo and bandages in the battlefield!
- New skins for Medic, tank crews and Waffen SS (there is also for sniper, radio etc and new German Elites: 12 SS Hitler Jungen , 2 SS div. "Das Reich", German Fallschirmjägers. (notice that there is also new colored labels for each type of unit to easily find the right unit on the battlefield!)
The map is very near of the real relief of Brettevillette. You will discover news ambiance sounds, giving this map a good immersive ambiance.
It's a heavy file to download for a mission, because i've included a lot of sounds and all my skins, specially my news camos with bushes for all the German's tanks of this mission..
The context of this historical mission:
Operation Epsom: Since the liberation of Caen was taking serious delay, General Montgomery decides to launch the assault, and on June 23 he plans to use the forces commanded by General
Richard O'Connor, three army corps: 60,000 men, 600 tanks and 700 guns.
This operation is codenamed Epsom. But on June 23, a new storm is raging in the Channel and reinforcements of food, fuel and materials are blocked on board ships or in England.
And if the allies are no longer able to move forward, the Germans are benefiting from this situation on the front line: the 12nd SS Panzer division of the 21st Panzer and the Panzer Lehr division move strategically around Caen.
In total, this number represents 228 tanks, 150 88mm cannons and different other guns. On Sunday June 25, 1944, an armored division and two independent armored brigades belonging to the 8th Anglo-Canadian corps, composed of nearly 60,000 men and 600 tanks, attack at the west of Caen.
"From June to July 1944, during operation "Martlet", Scottish, UK and Canadians of the 2nd British army of Montgomery tried to take Caen by the west..
Montgomery was thinking to reach Caen in few days after the D Day but German's 26 SS panzer div., 2nd SS PZ div Das Reich and Panzer Lehr div. stopped them in the west of Caen, and they were the most intensive fights of the west front of WWII, in Rauray, Tessel and Brettevillette villages.
En.wikipedia.org
On June 25, 1944 at 4:15: in the morning mist, heading for Rauray. The final goal was to go fast in the direction of the south, to reach Villers-Bocage and Hill112, near Baron sur Odon, and cut the German's defenses in 2 parts.
The attack by the 49th Division with the 8th armored brigade under his command began with a steady right side up Tessel, reached in the afternoon. Patrols were conducted through the woods to the south but then, the British met with considerable opposition, mainly from the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr in Fontenay le Pesnel on their left and their progress was stopped.
At 21 hours, another attack supported by tanks was successful and the Fontenay fell around midnight despite fierce resistance from the Germans.
On the morning of June 26, the attack on Rauray was taken from the village of Tessel-Bretteville, but progress was soon stopped by fierce resistance and the fact that the country was ill-suited to tanks. The tanks have been disengaged and brought back online when the brigade reached the outskirts of Rauray with the infantry in close support.
A fierce battle continued throughout the next day, and the enemy has mounted several attacks of tanks from the south and southwest. June 28, was finally captured Brettevillette, then later lost again following an attack against the 2nd SS Panzer Division, with heavy allied losses.."

Huge work !
French version here: Edgeofwar.fr
you kick ***, one day i'll be as cool as you !
I'm happy to see we have reached 1000 downloads in only 12 days! ;)
Thank's all for your comments and support!
(I work on another one, with more new ground textures and new stamps and it will be avalaible to download next week)
Crashing this map when you hit save, latest patch as well.
I never had this crash and you are the first one to signal this problem on this mission (1100 downloads).
This mission have a large map with a lot of entities, tons of new sounds, new texture and also a lot of Ai soldiers, so it can stress a low PC, even if you play with all options at max. What kind of computer have you? Maybe you have others programs running at the same time (bit torrent or emule for example)? Try to close them and reduce the graphic options of your game..
Check your DD space (you need more than 1Go of free space to run this game on XP) and try to install the latest graphic drivers..
game runs fine until i go to hit save then a freeze the other maps i have played are fine, on the system i have it pretty much eats this game up maxed settings mate i.e Intel i7 980x clocked to 4.0ghz,6gb,480gtx,Prelude xfi win7 only thing i am using 301.24 beta drivers but other maps are fine, pretty gutted this map looks class mate.
forgot to add if you disable the map the frontend pic is still there, you have to restart the game to get it back to normal.
right sorted it, it seems like there was a save file corrupt so i deleted all out of the profile directory,tested the map then went to save it worked fine. :)
Thank's to report everything work fine!
Regards.
Bass
no problem :)
It looks really good! I gonna try it soon
P.S.: I m chinese
欢迎到诺曼底!
My favorite mission is Tessel, but i love this one too.. (very good ground textures)
Your skirmishes are the best! (You should ask DMS for a job..)
Outstanding! And very fun!
I always love such this scenarios based upon accurate historical research and realistic setting.
So I liked your superb works soooo much.
But as a tiny issue, at least for me, it's a little difficult to accept that ISUZU trucks [as a substitute for BERLIET or some type?] appear on the very beautiful Normandy map....
Anyway almost perfect!!!
Many thanks for your fantastic works, from Japan.
Merci Beaucoup, bassmaniac.
Thank's a lot for your good comment!
You are right for Isuzu truck, I used it only because there is no others civilians vehicules in the game (such Renault, Citroen and others).
I've already asked many 3d moddelers to work on it but it doesn't seems their priority :(
New civilians truck, cars, bus,tractors,working machines, and news civilians characters could be a good addition for the mission's realism and to give more life in the towns and villages..
Cheers and merci beaucoup ;)
Hey. First of all sry for my english im a self taugt man... Bass you are a true artist and this map was extra fun... playd it coop last night whit my friend via Lan and used your BUSH CAMO MOD also = extra fun even more... In my opinion this was the best map i playd in mowas ever , awesmoe scripting , models and all the little things that raise the gameplay to the roof... 2 SS das raich and Hitlerjungen inf. whit pictures and skins is just unbelivable whit does Tigers is a true masterpiace. Im still under effect of that battle and the beauty of the whole picture...many tnx ...
But after all the good i have to report only one bad thing... me and my friend love to do flanking assaults so we never go mid falgs after first line so we went right all the way to the third line where tigers spawn and after we got the first tiger we was capping the line and waiting for the sec tiger and when we got it no one of us got it. He was there but we could not control it until we orderd the third one. Then we got the sec one and the third one was uncontrolable and so fort... not a big bug ... we manage to win and had so much fun... hoping you make more normandy missions (german ones hehehh)... I downloaded all your normandy missions and just waiting for my friend to come so we can finish them all... Anyways the more coop the better couse alot of good maps and missions ppl make are not coop ready and thats a shame couse this game sholud be playd coop all the time... to conclude my praises BASS you are a MOD GOD and hoping to see and play more of your mods and addons...
P.S. Music is fricking awesome
Keep up the awesome work... Zvonimir Tisljar , Zagreb , Croatia 15.05.2014
Thanks a lot for your good comments and to report that issue in mp/coop.
As i test alone my maps, i can't see the bugs for mp..
I've just upgrade it for mowAS2 (with goodies, like new icon shields for German squads..)and you can find here the last version (a new one will be upload very soon):
Mediafire.com
If you have MowAS2, maybe you can test it with your friends and tell me if it's ok or not?
Cheers,
