Escort/ Convoy scenarios

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.

The contest poll is up if you like my alt rule idea support azrael’s strategic warfare http://aaminis.myfastforum.org/about36958.html

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

Alright, i’ll try to get that together.

I’d like to tweek this one. Sunds like it could be a lot of fun.

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.

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.

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.
