Operation Sabaton

The following outlines the goals and logistical support for Operation Sabaton.



OPERATION SABATON

GOAL: To capture the French city of Avignon, thus opening up the southern route to Lyon.

TIME FRAME: Start date is October 20th, 1944 at 00:00

LOGISTICS: A detachment of Third Army will conduct this offense. Its size will be whatever is deemed necessary by head of Third Army, General George S. Patton.

OPPOSITION: Elements of the 7th Panzer Division are stationed in several cities leading up to Avignon. As you may have heard, Erwin Rommel recently died, and we aren't clear on who is taking his place. Regardless, the forces you will be facing are lacking transportation and motorized vehicles for their infantry. Intelligence suggests that these elements are on their way, but due to the increased harassment from our Flyboys, they will take about three days to reach the frontlines. In conclusion, you have three days to capture as much territory as you can, before the enemy becomes mobile again, and is able to launch counter-offensives.
