As I posted on another forum:
It's December 1944. The Western Allies have advanced all the way up the to Rhine river and have captured several key locations including the deep water port city of Antwerp. In the east, the Soviet armies have pushed through the Ukraine, through Romania, large parts of Hungary and are just outside of Warsaw in Poland.
The situation looks grim. The Wehrmacht is desperately holding on in the east and has somewhat stabilized the front lines in the west. The Heer and Waffen SS units are badly mauled but still pack a significant punch and can still manage to mount two or three more major offensives. Your army is tired. They're akin to an aging heavy weight champion. He's slower now, tired, more sluggish but if his punch connects, it can still knock someone out. What you need is a decisive blow. Something to shatter your opponents with, disorient them and allow your punch to connect to buy you time or knock someone out of the war.
Good news. Werner Heisenberg and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute under the direction of the Heereswaffenamt have made a major breakthrough in the field of atomic weaponry. You've been presented with two, fully functional, atomic weapons. Their yield is approximately 10-15kilotons (more or less what was dropped on Hiroshima in reality).
Now's your chance. Can you win the war? Can your force a peace? Where do you drop your bombs? How do you get them there? Bomber? Experimental V2 ICBM being developed by Hans Kammler of the SS? Where do you drop them? Do you attack Moscow, London, New York, or Washington D.C.? Maybe you bomb Antwerp in the hopes of seriously disrupting the Western Allies' logistics or maybe you bomb Soviet troop and supply hubs in the east? Will you use one bomb or both bombs? Will you coordinate your nuclear strikes with ground offensives by the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS?
For the scenario, you need to explain where, when and how you use your bombs and the remaining troops at your disposal. You don't have to use the Wehrmacht or Waffen SS. The Wehrmacht (Heer, Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe) and Waffen SS are at your disposal. You may use secret weapons projects that are reasonable for the time period and are known to have had working prototypes by this time period during the war.
Here are your situation maps for the Eastern front and the Western front . You may note the army groups present and move them around. Assume that whichever groups you choose to move can be outfitted for a proper offensive.
Edit: Just for the record, you get to pretend you're not a genocidal asshole killing Jews, Gypsies, and all other "inferior" people. We all know Nazis are pricks.
