| 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. Note that the ground scale of this scenario is 1" = 27m, which is what is used usually for 20mm. The rectangles on the second page of the .pdf are small rulers set up for this scale. |

| Blood and Honour 12th SS in Normandy 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. |
Normandy 8AUG1944 | Paddy Green, Richard de Ferrars with additional playtesting by 'Proff' Pender and 'Scotty' Scott |
| Blood and Honour 12th SS in Normandy 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. |
Normandy 9AUG1944 | Paddy Green and Richard de Ferrars with additional playtesting by 'Proff' Pender and 'Scotty' Scott |
| Blood and Honour 12th SS in Normandy Quesnay Woods PDF (149k) |
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. | Normandy 10AUG1944 | Paddy Green and Richard de Ferrars |

Leading this unexpected movement, the U.S. 90th infantry division attempts to break through to LeMans. This is their last chance to prove themselves after performing poorly in Normandy. If they don't succeed, the division may be broken up to be used as replacements. | Northern France, Aug 1944 | Brian Cantwell |

Route Leopard Umpire Notes Route Leopard British Orders Route Leopard German Orders Route Leopard Incident Cards |
British Paras attempt to break through to Arnhem bridge through initially uncoordinated but growing German resistance. This game uses a random event system that both controls reinforcements and adds historical flavor to the game. To get the full impact of the random incidents, the players should not read the umpire notes before the game. Andy would like to credit Ken Natt for the idea of the cards and Keith Lowman for playtesting. | Market-Garden SEP1944 | Andy Parkes |
