£9.50The Road to Carentan

This is a 36 page, fully illustrated A5 booklet providing four scenarios for actions involving elements of the American 101st Airborne Division (The Screaming Eagles). It covers the period from D-Day to the initial stages of the battles to capture the vital town of Carentan and thus link up the landings at Omaha and Utah Beaches. The four scenarios were inspired by four of Paul Woodadge’s excellent YouTube WW2TV shows.  The scenarios are Angoville-au-Plain (D-Day), Vierville (D-Day+1), Saint-Come-du-Mont (D-Day+1) and Purple Heart Lane Breakout (D-Day +4). It’s a break from our normal scale for units, focusing on small scale actions that saw improvised US para forces taking on their German counterparts in the 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment (The Lions of Carentan) as well as infantry and Ost battalions. Designed to be played on 6′ x 4′ or 5′ x 4′ tables using our Reloaded rules (or RF2 if players prefer) they include historical backgrounds, full graphic orbats, battle maps, special rules and a section on ‘what troops do I need to play the scenarios’.
