1 Player D-Day Scenario

@janken_64:

Thanks for the answer!  :-)

The maps in the scenario are:

Map 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 16

I can�t figure out what they are!! :?

I honestly don’t know his map scheme. I knew AARules from the forums but he hasn’t been around in a couple of years. He mentions map 16 had shell holes which makes me think he is referring to the larger 3" hex maps. The larger maps had numbers in the lower right hand corners. They were, starter set maps, North africa maps and eastern front maps. Sorry I couldn’t help more.

Similar to night rules, this represents an element of concealment whether cloud cover or what to give an edge to attacking units allowing a scenario like Taranto to more easily play out.

Uncertain objective: after both fleets are deployed roll a die on a 1-2 place an objective marker on the center left, 3-4 in the middle, 5-6 on the right (optional).

Covered approach:  Ship anti-air rolls -1 on each die   Â

Spread out CAP: defensive fighters must make a search check and succeed on a 3+

Target located/lit up: units roll +1 dice against damaged units

Disorganized attack: aborted air units get +1 rearming tokens.

The above provides some historical insight into this, if you view this as cloud cover you can combine it with the current “twilight” rules to represent changing battlefield conditions.

Having an antithesis to a night match has alot of potential so im open to feedback and will probably change it over time.

I have 2 buddies playing a convoy scenario today about 850 miles from me.  I forwarded this to them so hopefully they get a chance to try it out.

modified the OP this is the revised version the original needed some tinkering.

At the below link you will find a custom DDAY scenario that I created, full of battle pics.
The information is too huge to post it here again, there are also lots of pics, so if you are interested just go to the following link:

If you are wondering what kind of map is that… well that is not a WotC standard map, but one I made.

There are actually 5 scenarios complete of maps (1944 DDAY, 1940 German Invasion of France, 1941 Tobruk siege, 1941 Leningrad siege and 1942 New Guinea Pacific campaign) that are posted on that site, in the Scenarios forum. Take a look.

The maps are for sale or for trade.

regards,

Nice campaign. I’ve actually making one right now, but I might play This when I’m finished. I like the concept of building the army in squads.

In scenario 2 the Italian army is counter-attacking
Italy 125 pts
Americans 100 pts

With More German resistance it will tougher. Considering many of your own units are Brand new to the Campaign.
German Troops have almost eclipsed the Italian army. Italians are mainly part of a German Squad
Location: North-Central Sicily

AMERICANS

Rifle squad (25)
M1 garand x5
RD CPT x1
BAR x1 Rienforce Rifle squad (25)
M1 Garand x4
RD CPT x1
BAR x2 Infantry support squad (25)
Bazooka x2
BAR x1
M1 Gar. x3
RD CPT x1 Under-Strength Sherman SPRT SCTN (25)
M4a1 sherman x1
M1 Gar. x1 Tank Command Team (50)
M4a1 x2
Rd CPT x1
M1 Gar. x2

===============================
ITALIAN ARMY

Axis Rifle Squad (25)
Mauser x3
Blcksrts x2
Stlwrt lt x1 Whrmcht Rifle Squad (25)
Mauser x4
Whrmcht OLT x1 (can use a Stlwrt LT instead)
Blcksrts x2 (1 can be a Brixia mortar) Panzer-Grenadier squad (50)
SDKFZ 251 x4
Panzergrenadier x3
Pnzrfst x1
L3/35 x1 Panzer/Blackshirt Section (25)
Pnzr III x1
Blcksrts x2 Panzer Command Team (50)
PNZR II x2
PNZR III x1
Stlwrt Lt x1   (or a Pnzrfst)

The Map needs shell holes, Cities,Hills and forests

Americans Deploy on their (they coose) side
Italians come from the opposite area

USA wins if they survive till turn 8
Italy wins if they destroy 75% of american forces ands occupy 1 hex of each of :Hill,City and shellholes
OR destroy all US forces

Just like the last one tell me what needs clarifications or changes

Der Leiter, nice scenario. I’ll try to play it sometime.

@Der:

The hardest part may be having the number of infantry - always feel free to substitute - Use Free French (French Canadiens!) or SMLEs. They’re all the same really.

Whenever I need a lot of one type, I just use pieces from the board game. If you need a lot of Canadians, just use the UK soldiers from the board game.

@testguy:

also why are the hexes so tiny?

Print them off at 150% and they’ll be 3 inches. That’s what I always do.
