After the landings this is the continued fighting taken on in Normandy!
Our ever popular Rapid Fire weekends, with our own slight adjustments.
Category: WW II
Scenario, Operation Bagration: 1944
After Minsk fell, by 8th July the majority of the encircled German 4th Army, had been destroyed east of the city in the Belorussian forests. Soviet spearheads were already 110 miles to the west, chasing fleeing fragments of divisions. The next day the Lithuanian capital Vilnius was surrounded by the Soviet 5th Army, with 15,000 Germans trapped in the city. As the Soviets began to fight their way in, Field Marshal Model prepared to risk an unauthorized rescue mission. The Soviet forces although victorious, were weakened by their spectacular advances and failing logistics, giving Model an opportunity. Forming “fire brigade” Kampfgruppen, the counterattack was launched on 12th July, making contact with the breakout forces from Vilnius and saving 3,000 men.
Both sides are at the end of their tether and this will make for an evenly matched and exciting battle. Our scenario will concentrate on the German attempts to extricate themselves from a salient created by their advance to Vilnius, whilst the Soviets, still more powerful, attempt to destroy them.
As usual we will be putting our own slant on history to give everyone the opportunity for a challenging and enjoyable game.
Some of the fast paced tank action in the fight for France, this is one of our action packed gloriously painted and detailed scenarios!
This time the action is part of Operation Epsom. Loads of Armour and hordes of infantry and artillery…all in glorious 54MM.
All the collection you may have seen at Salute over the last few years.
It fills up quick, so book early! (Pardon the phrase)
All using our own version of the Crossfire ruleset.
Here you will have the chance to fight out one of the bloodiest periods in France as the Allies attempt their drive out of the Beachheads.
Using the Rapid Fire ruleset the action will be fast and furious, so contact me if you would like a piece of the action.
More details to follow soon.
I will be at Salute helping promote our Ancients weekend and the new rules by Simon Miller “To the Strongest”/
Christmas 1944, the Ardennes, Belgium. Take command at the turning point of the Ardennes offensive!
Can the Panzer Divisions succeed in a final effort to break through to the River Meuse? Fielding some of the best equipment in the German armoury, try your best to change history in one of the most popular “what-ifs” of the Second World War.
As a US Army commander can your meagre forces buy enough time for a mass of reinforcements to fight a final engagement and stop the German advance? The American commanders will also have the chance to field some of their Army’s best equipment. The US forces make their first appearence at the Wargames Holiday Centre.
Played out using the Rapid Fire Rules.
