grounds strongly defended by dismounted elements of III Battalion 26th
SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment. Once the stubborn Germans been driven
from the woods, a strong counterattack develops. Led by Seigel's elite
Panzer IVs, the remaining elements III Battalion 26th SS Panzer
Grenadier Regiment assault the woods in their armoured Sdkfz 251s and
accompanied by the Regimental Pioneere Kompanie. This game is a fluid

Operation Windsor - Carpiquet Airfield (PDF 286k)
|
A month after D-Day, Montgomery ordered Caen to be taken. As a
preliminary, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division was ordered to capture
the village of Carpiquet its adjacent airfield. Lying 3½ miles east of
Caen,
its capture would outflank the German forces defending the northern
suburbs of the city forcing
them to withdraw south over the River Orne.
Carpiquet was a valuable prize as the Allies needed additional aircraft
landing sites and were desperate to establish more reliable air cover.
However, the airfield was open and well defended. The Allied tanks and
infantry had to advance over an expanse of open terrain which offers a
perfect
"killing ground" for the defenders. The defenders were the 'elite'
German 26th SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment
from 12th SS Hitlerjügend Panzer Division who had fortified the entire
area with mines, wire, pillboxes and field emplacements.
This is a massive and complex set-piece mega game from Bovington 09. It
is played in 20mm ground scale and demands specialist terrain,
many players, a huge table, and lots of time. Operation Windsor - Bovington After Action Report (972k)

strong force of tanks, funnies from 79th Armoured Division and infantry
muster at the FUP between Les Buissons and Vieux Cairon prepared for the
assault. Ready to meet them is a small force of 12th SS 'Hitletjugend'
Panzer Grenadiers who are well prepared and well dug in behind
formidable anti-tank trenches, minefields and barbed wire. This will be
a tough fight for either side which will test a players tactics in both
breaching prepared defence lines and fighting in dense terrain and
mixed urban areas.

Taming the Tigers - Totalize (PDF 204k)
|
TOTALIZE phase 1 has been an complete success for the Allies,
in the morning of 8th August the German defensive line is in tatters and the road to Falaise lay open.
All that stood in the way of the First Canadian Army was the battle worn 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend.".
However, because of the planned carpet bombing by the 8th USSAF, the Allies
dug in and waited for the inevitable counter-attack.
Kurt Meyer knew that the situation was critical and reacted by throwing KG Waldmuller,
including Michael Wittman's Tigers into a savage and bitter counter attack -
but did he send his forces into a trap or execute a tactical masterstroke that restored the German line?
A sizeable and complex 2 part linked scenario that flows from attack to defence. Phase 1 can be played on its own.

High Ground Sighted (PDF 250k)
|
During the 2nd Canadian Corps push southwards from Caen a Canadian
taskforce was ordered to capture the high ground at Point 195.
The Canadians advanced quickly through minimal German resistance but
strayed off the main highway.
High ground was sighted and the column headed for it.
The scenario begins with the taskforce fighting their way through some
weak resistance
and reaching a strong defensive area before confidently reporting to
their pleased Corps
Commander that they hold Point 195. For the 12th SS the situation is
again critical and Kampfgruppe Wunsche and his "Big Cats"
are mobilised to destroy this Allied thrust that has pushed into the
heart of the Hitlerjugend defensive line before it could be properly
formed.
The ensuing battle sees the Canadians grimly clinging on to the high
ground against increasingly overwhelming odds waiting on relief forces
that may
or may not arrive? This is a long and complex scenario with lots of
potential for friendly fire, confusion and
consternation for the Canadian player. It is best played with an
umpire or with an experienced German player who can co-ordinate the
game.

The initial success of "Totalize" Phase 1 contrasts with the
disappointing progress of Phase 2.
After a stunningly successful attack led by Lt-Col Dave Stewart and the
Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada,
Hill 195 lies in Canadian hands. They are dug-in and controlling the
road to Falaise but attempts to reach them by 4 Cdn Armd Div
and exploit their success have been stopped by flanking fire from tanks
from Kampfgruppe Wünsche concealed in Quesnay Woods.
This is now the vital ground and so, in the late evening, General
Simmonds orders the 8th Infantry Brigade to assault and take the woods.
This is a medium sized scenario set in dense woodland.

Following the Mortain counter-attack the 12th SS Panzer Division 'Hitlerjugend'
is tasked with holding the northern shoulder of the Falaise pocket open to allow the
retreat of the defeated German Armies to the west. The Canadians are pushing south towards
Falaise to complete the encirclement but following success of Operation "Tractable" have advanced beyond the
range of their artillery. Nevertheless they must advance and take the high ground of 'Objective Idaho'
and the village of Soulangy which are critical to the defence of Falaise. Standing in their way is the battered remnants
of 'Papa' Krause's kampfgruppe supported by and handful of tanks. This is nominally a medium sized scenario
that comprises two inter-dependent small scenarios and can easily be fought as two separate vignettes.

After Market-Garden failed, one of the primary objectives was the
clearing of the Scheldt estuary and expanding the
Nijmegen bridgehead Westward, with the ultimate objective of opening and
protecting the major port of Antwerp.
The British XII Corps was tasked with expanding the Nijmegen Salient
westward and capturing the German fortress of 's-Hertogenbosch (also
known as 'Den Bosch'),
thereby cutting the German 15. Armee's line of communication with

it was captured almost intact before Market-Garden. A full-bore amphibious assault was mounted
to clear the vital supply lines. |

| Sittang Bridge(.pdf) |
The main Japanese attack in the invasion of Burma began on 20 January 1942
as two divisions crossed the frontier, forcing the inexperienced defenders
to fall back from one defensive position after another. On the morning of 22 February,
the 1st Battalion of the Japanese 215th Infantry Regiment made a mad dash to cut off the retreat of the
17th Indian Division at Sittang Bridge. The fate of Rangoon and thousands
of Allied soldiers rested on the shoulders of a few hundred men from the 3rd Burma Rifles, 4/12 Frontier Force Regiment,
and 2/Duke of Wellington's Regiment.

Imphal - The Turning Point
When the Japanese overran Southern Burma, they sent their eventual
sights on India. However, horrible terrain, challenging logistics, and
increasingly stubborn Commonwealth defenders prevented a rapid victory.
The Battle for Imphal marked the climax of the Japanese threat
and their defeat in this campaign ultimately led to Japanese defeat in
all of Burma. The following scenarios are all based on the battles of
the Imphal campaign.

Third Arakan Campaign: By January 1945, the Japanese 28th Army had
finally been defeated in the Arakan coastal strip of Burma. However,
the Japanese 54th Division was still fighting hard against the 82nd
(West African) Division as it withdrew along the coast. In an attempt
to crush the Japanese resistance, 3 Commando Brigade and elements of the
25th Indian Division landed from the sea at Kangaw to block the
Japanese retreat. However, the Japanese were determined to break the
block and they launched a full-blooded assault on the key British
position on Hill 170.
