COLLECTING A FORCE FROM DOGS AND DEVILS

Dogs & Devils brings Flames Of War players into the slugfest that was Italy. The forces that landed at Anzio together with those hurled against them are available to clash across the valleys and mountains of Italy. Assaulting horrendous defences, cracking a hole in the German lines, and fending off desperate counterattacks will consume your army’s efforts. The elite Hermann Göring Fallschirmpanzerdivision is at your disposal to release against the advancing American infantry. Halting the massive firepower and indomitable spirit of the First Special Service Force or 3rd Infantry Division will take the same prowess as displayed by the actual German generals who gave their all in trying to contain the Anzio beachhead.

Its time to quit pussyfooting around, unleash the Black and Blue devils on the Wehrmacht. The Black Devils of the FSSF have already accomplished the impossible, earning their name as the Devil’s Brigade, now they have the full support that an entire Corps can supply. And the Blue Devils of the 3rd Infantry Division are one of the toughest outfits in the whole US army. Now supported by VI Corps, with their amassed artillery coordinated through the Fire Direction Center and the veteran tankers of the 1st Armored Division.

hoW this Battle BooK WoRKsThe Intelligence Briefings in this book give you the choices of two American and two German companies based on historical examples that fought in Italy during May 1944.

hoW to BuilD a FoRCeIn Flames Of War games you will command a company with several platoons. Each company includes:Company Headquarters - The company headquar-ters platoon is required—without it you have no command! When you choose your force the first thing you should purchase with your points is your company headquarters.Combat Platoons - At least two combat platoons are usually required, sometimes three. These platoons make up the core of your force. These platoons are the backbone of your force.Weapons Platoons - Weapons platoons come from your own battalion or regiment. Although they are optional they offer your company excellent support, such as heavy machine-guns, mortars and anti-tank weapons.Support Platoons - Support platoons are sent to your company by the division or corps. These platoons give you extra support in many forms, ranging from tanks to artillery.

An Amercian 3rd Infantry Division Rifle Company is one of the toughest Infantry Companies in Flames Of War.

With an entire army of Veterans, they are hard to hit and take a lot of firepower to stop. As Confident troops they can be trusted to hang around through the thickest of fighting.

Assault platoons of pioneers armed with bazookas and flame-throwers deal to armour as effectively as infantry.

Medal Of Honor Winners give your platoons a better chance of making it

into an assault through withering defensive fire. They allow their platoons to assault despite being Pinned.

Sharpshooters allow a platoon to re-roll a vital missed shot or failed firepower test once per turn. They give you the possibility of turning a whole game around.

In attack, attach your 60mm mortars to an infantry platoon and use them as grenade launchers. 60mm mortars are able to shoot direct fire over other infantry, increasing the platoons effective numbers. With high firepower mortars are great for taking out dug-in infantry. In defence 60mm mortar teams are great for bombarding advancing infantry.M1919 LMG teams with ROF 5, and ROF 2 while pinned, are useful in suppressing enemy positions or defending your own.

‘The Devil’s brigade’ Special Service Force

(inFantRY CoMpanY)

The Special Service Force (SSF) was an elite joint US & Canadian force, and is the hardest hitting assault force cur-rently in the game.

These Fearless troops will do everything you want them to do, continuing on when other troops would quiver, break and flee.

As Trained troops, your casualties will be higher while closing with the enemy if you are not cautious. However, once in contact, their Special Rules will leave no survivors.

The I Shall Never Fail My Comrades rule makes it very difficult to break an SSF company.

Cautious Movement makes the SSF infantry harder to hit while moving through difficult terrain.

Assault Troops means your troops won’t stay Pinned down for long.

Woodsmen allows the platoon to keep moving even if anything unfortunate happens to your command team.

Death, Destruction and Mayhem makes the SSF infantry hit better than veteran infantry in assaults, and be as effective as Pioneers in assaulting tanks.

The support options available to the 3rd Infantry and SSF makes these tough infantry companies even tougher.

For the first time, American companies have access to the Fire Direction Center (FDC) which allows you to add artillery batteries together to build Coordinated Bombardments. This can be combined with Air Support to create a Strategic Bombardment at the beginning of the Game. The FDC also allows units that can not normally fire as artillery to join in Bombardments.

The amount of artilley benefiting American players is almost unlimited. Light 105’s, 105’s, 155’s, T-19’s, Priests, Chemical mortars, Sherman 105’s and mortars

are available. Even M-10’s, in larger quantities, and towed 3” guns can fire as artillery with the FDC.

US Companies also get access to the new 90mm anti-aircraft gun, equivalent to the German ‘88’, which can fire as anti-air, anti-tank or artillery.

Together with the large amounts of artillery, American players get access to all of the usual suspects. Sherman tanks, Stuart tanks, Armoured Infantry, rangers, para-troopers, engineers, reconnaissance and aircraft are all available for the battle.

Multiple Divisional Support options allow American players to create widely diverse lists that are as effective in attack as they are on defence.

HERMANN GöRING (HG)

German Forces

Hermann Göring Panzerdivision has a reputation almost as tough as the SS or Fallschirmjäger.

Containing three companies of Veterans, they hit hard while quickly halting determined Allied assaults.

As both Confident and Elite Troops, the HG Division re-rolls failed platoon morale checks. This ensures they hang around through the toughest melees.

Hermann Göring panzers have the Stacheldraht Special rule. It allows one panzer per platoon to upgrade, allowing it to act as a Pioneer truck and deploy barbed wire.

+5 Passenger save if their transport is destroyed by firepower 5+ and 6 weapon. (bazookas, machine-guns and light AA weapons etc.) This gives them greater freedom to drive around the table.

DIVISIONAL SuppORT

Divisional Support in this book comes from both the Herman Göring Panzerdivision (HG) which benefit from all the HG special rules and the LXXII Panzerkorps (Heer). Each set of divisional support has a mix of different weapons.

During the campaign in Italy, divisional support was pooled together into the Panzerkorps and allocated as needed. To represent this, all three HG companies and the grenadier companies have a mix of support options. This allows the Grenadiers to be backed up by the elite HG Division, or allows the HG Player to customise and shave off points here and there with slightly less motivated troops.

The Divisional Support under the Panzerkorps allows outstanding heavy support to include Tigers, Panthers, Elefants, Hornisse, Brumbärs, StuGs with Borgwards and both 105mm & 150mm artillery.

New options include Semovente 75/34’s (from Mid-war Monsters) and Semovente 105/25 assault guns, that were captured and pressed into German service from the surrendering Italians.

Another unique feature for the HG forces is the ability to take THREE ‘88’ platoons while a warrior for the Grenadier Companies protects their artillery from wandering Jabos and their AoPs.

362. & 715. Infanterie Division

Both 362. Infanteriedivision and 715. Infanteriedivision were reconstituted from rehabilitated veterans of Stalingrad. Though earmarked to return to Russia, they were re-equipped and fully manned with additional replacements in France when sent to Italy for the Allied landing at Anzio.

Attached to the LXXVI Panzerkorps, both the 362th and the 715th Infantry Divisions were augmented with an additional motorised Panzergrenadier regiment from either the 1028. Panzergrenadierregiment, 35. SS-Panzgrenadierregiment, or 36. SS-Panzergrenadierregiment when fighting on the Anzio beachhead.

In addition, the 69. Panzerregiment supported both divisions whether they were attacking or defending. This support provided a large and varied mix of motorised and armour support to a normal German infantry division.

The LXXVI Panzerkorps was one of the first units assigned to the German Tenth Army for the defence of Italy. The Korps fought against the Allied landings at Salerno and established the Bernhardt Line. Made up of the 16. Panzerdivision, 1. Fallschirmjägerdivision, 26. Panzerdivision, and 90. Panzergrenadierdivision, the LXXVI Panzerkorps contained the best German divisions in Italy. It housed the incoming reserve battalions in support of the German defence at Anzio and assigned them as individual support units to the German divisions fighting in the field.

The Herman Göring Division was given preferential treatment when getting supplies and equipment, meaning they always had the best that the German war machine could offer.

The FlaK Regiment Hermann Göring was the original Hermann Göring unit. It evolved from being the anti-aircraft unit guarding Hitler’s personal train to two full battalions in Italy. This gives Hermann Göring Panzerdivision units access to more frontline air defence than any other division.
