�.0 Bloody omahaThis scenario is a good primer to the game, covering most aspects in a quick playing scenario. It covers the invasion at Omaha Beach by the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions on June 6th, and the efforts to expand the beachhead.

Game Length: 6 June, AM—10 June, PM; 14 Turns

Map: West half of Map B, East half of Map C.

Weather: Initial Weather is Overcast. Roll on each following Weather Phase normally. Interdiction is –1 on 6 June, PM.

Reinforcements: Only the US player receives reinforcements in this scenario.

Replacements: Each player receives half the replacements shown on the Daily Replacement Charts, rounded down. REM Replacements are tracked and received normally.

Supply: All German units begin the game under the command of the 352nd ID. The Allied player does not use CSPs, all his attacks are considered in Combat Supply.

Air/Naval: Allied Air Points, German AA Points and Naval units are not used in this scenario.

Game Start: US units not assigned to a specific hex may be set up freely on the Omaha Beach assault hexes and holding boxes, within the restrictions of the Beach Assault rules (18.2). US V Corps forces conduct beach landings per the normal sequence.

Victory Conditions: The US player must capture Trevieres and Isigny by the end of the 10 June PM turn. Any other result is a German victory.

�.0 Scenario BaSicS�.� Special instructionsGerman units with an asterisk* may break down into companies at setup and are placed in or adjacent to their setup hex. The parent unit is placed into the German eliminated unit pool.

A unit may have “(Reduced)” next to it. This means that the unit begins the game reduced (or “flipped”). If a Division has “All” next to its HQ, then all units of that division enter at that time.

Some scenarios list entire divisions which are to be setup within a specific area, and the step losses that must be applied to them before play. For example, it may say “2inf, 2arm +2.” This would mean two step losses must be applied to infantry battalions, two to armored battalions and two to any unit in the division.

the thick gray line or in any hexes south of it. The US player(s) then sets up his forces anywhere north of the Germans. After the US setup, the German player(s) receives 12 Infantry Replacement Points to use wherever he likes; these replacements must be used immediately and cannot be saved.

Trucks: All US Division HQs are on their Truck side. For the Ger-man player roll 1d6; halved (round UP) and place that many Truck markers with divisions of their choice, on map B.

Weather: Roll for weather normally beginning 26 July. All air points are available on the first day; consider the weather Cloudy.

Replacements: Each player receives half the replacements shown on the Daily Replacement Charts, rounded down. REM Replacements are tracked and received normally.

Supply: Normal supply rules apply. The Allies begin the game with 30 CSPs. Add 10 CSP for Cherbourg and Mulberry supply each day.

Air/Naval: The Allies begin the game with 50 points. The German player receives 1D10 of AA each day per map (B & D). There are no naval units.

Game Start: The US player(s) begins the game with a Carpet Bombing attack.

Victory Conditions: The US player must exit 9 battalions (armor or infantry) off the southern map edge by the end of the Allied 31 July, PM Turn. Failure to achieve this objective is considered a German win.

�.0 coBraWhile the invasion of Normandy had been successful, in some ways more than had been hoped, the optimistic goals for the liberation of France had not been met. The Allied armies were bogged down in front of Lessay, St. Lo and Caen and the Germans had been holding a relatively stable line for a month.

On July 19th, Operation Goodwood was underway. In the east Brit-ish armoured divisions finally took Caen, but they were stopped at the Bourguébus Ridge just south of it. General Bradley had another Operation in the works that had been delayed for a week. Like Operation Goodwood, this one would begin with a massive aerial bombardment in a specific area to open a gap in the German line. US armored divisions would attempt to drive a spearhead through the German defenses and finally break the stalemate. It was called Cobra.

Game Length: 25 July, AM - 31 July, PM

Maps: Map B and D.

Setup: The German player(s) sets up first, placing his units along

7The Battle for Normandy — PLAYBOOK

© 2013 GMT Games, LLC

�.0 The BaTTle For cherBoUrGOne key objective in the invasion planning was the capture of a port, and the only one in the Normandy area was Cherbourg. The VII Corps was tasked with capturing this objective - The Germans were ordered to stand fast and not allow it. While the line held as best it could, workers in Cherbourg began destroying the port once its capture was deemed inevitable, regardless of the orders coming from Berlin.

Game Length: 17 June, AM - 28 June, PM

Map: A

Setup: The German player sets up first. All units are setup on or north of hex row 41xx then NW from A4216 (as shown), on their full-strength side. Strongpoints are set up around Cherbourg per 18.9.2. The US player sets up after the German player. After the US player is finished, the German player then applies a number of step losses by division. This number of step losses is shown below. All US units begin the game at full-strength.

Weather: Ignore weather in this game.

Reinforcements: None

Replacements: Each player receives half the replacements shown on the Daily Replacement Charts, rounded down. REM Replacements are tracked and received normally.

Supply: The US player begins the game at 25 points and receives 5 plus 1d6 each turn during the Weather Phase. For example: The US player rolls a 4; he receives 9 new supply points.

Air: Air is allocated prior to the first turn. The US player starts the game with 35 Air Points. Allocate Interdiction normally, but to map A only. The German player receives 1d10 AA Points each day. For example: The Allied player secretly allocates 10 points to Interdic-tion. The German player rolls a “4”; subtract normally and use the Interdiction Chart. Armed Recon is allocated and performed normally, but according to the following modified table:

Points Allocated # of Attacks / Hit Number

1 1 / 7 2 1 / 6 3 1 / 5 4 2 / 7 5 2 / 6 6 2 / 5

All remaining points after Interdiction and Armed Recon are as-signed, are available for Combat Air Support. Before the first turn,

allocate air as if it were the night turn.

Game Start: 17 June, AM turn.

Victory Conditions: The Allied player must capture all city hexes of Cherbourg. Any other result is a German victory.

�.0 oPeraTion ePSomGeneral Montgomery had tried to take Caen twice. His third attempt was called Operation Epsom. British VIII Corps would force the Odon and Orne rivers to take Hill 112; not much of a hill at all to stand on it, but a vital military crest that overlooked the entire area south, east and all the way back to the bay in the north. Epsom was immediately preceded by Operation Marlet, which would clear the flank for VIII Corps.

Coincidentally, and of no small consequence, the Germans were in the midst of planning their own offensive in the same vicinity, with ISS and IISS Panzer Corps.

Game Length: 26 June, AM - 1 July, Night

Map: Map C, all areas east of the Seulles River (runs next to Tilly-sur-Seulles); and west of the city of Caen and the road running C3917 to C4815.

Setup: The British player(s) sets up first, placing his units north of the 37xx hex row per the instructions below except for the Corps artillery units and the two ships. The German player then setup all their units south of the 37xx hex row. Finally, the British player places the Corps artillery in any hex north of the 37xx hex row. Naval units may be placed in any all-sea hex.

Weather: The weather for the first day is Partly Cloudy. Roll nor-mally every day after that.

Reinforcements: All German reinforcements enter from any road

on the south edge of the game map, within the play area unless specifically instructed otherwise.

Replacements: Each player receives half the replacements shown on the Daily Replacement Charts, rounded down. REM Replacements are tracked and received normally.

Supply: Normal supply rules. The British begin the game with 30 Supply Points and receive half the result of the weather roll each day. Add 5 CSP for Mulberry supply each day.

Air: The British player begins the game with 15 Air Points that are subject to weather modifications and normal losses. There is no Interdiction, and the British player may attempt one (1) Recon Air Attack per day turn with a Hit Number of seven (7). Weather affects the air points as follows (Subtract any previous air losses from these numbers):

Clear . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Hvy Overcast . . . . . . 9 Partly Cloudy . . . . . . 14 Fog . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Cloudy . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Lt Showers . . . . . . . . 6 Overcast . . . . . . . . . . 11 Rain/Storm . . . . None

Game Start: See the special rules below.

Victory Conditions: Victory is determined by having control of vic-tory locations at the end of the game, according to the chart below. If both players achieve their Victory Conditions, or if neither player achieves them, then it is considered a Draw.

BRITISH GERMAN

Strategic Evrecy (4627) and the Bretteville- Victory: 4 hexes of Hill 112 l’ Orgueilleuse (3428)

General Hill 112 Fontenay (3832) and Victory: (All 4 hexes) St. Manvieu (3727)

Marginal Any unit across (south) Fontenay Victory: the Odon River (3832)

Special rules:1. The German Panzer Lehr HQ and 21st Panzer HQ units cannot move at any time during the scenario. They provide divisional sup-ply to their units only; not to any Corps units.

2. The British 11th Armoured (and attached units) cannot move until the 26 June, PM turn. The British 43rd Infantry Division cannot move until the 27 June, Night turn.

3. Operation Marlet, the prinary attack that preceded Epsom was conducted by the British 49th Infantry Division on 25 June. The goal of the operation was to secure the flank and important road junctions for Epsom. It did not succeed to the level planned and the British 49th took heavy losses. To reflect these losses, the British player rolls 1d6 on the following chart prior to the start of play. He then takes the number of step losses from the 49th Infantry Division to satisfy the result.

Die Roll Step Losses 1-2 4 3-4 5 5-6 6

4. Before play begins, the German player must remove one armor step loss and two infantry step losses from the 12th SS Panzer Division. At their option, the Germans may use their one available Feldersatz replacement to cancel one of these step losses before the

7.0 The BaTTle For normandyGame Length: 6 June, AM - 11 August, PM

Maps: All five maps.

Weather: Initial Weather is Overcast. Roll on each following Weather Phase normally.

Reinforcements: As shown

Replacements: As shown

Supply: 150

Air Points: 135 Allied Air Points, 35 German AA Points

Game Start: US and CW forces conduct parachute landings and beach assault per the normal sequence of play. US units listed with only a beach name may be setup in any Assault Hex at that beach. Germans setup per the instructions below.

6 June PM Support: Allies receive 10 Ground Support points for use during this turn. The Interdiction Level for the German player is at –1 for all maps. Normal support/weather rolls begin on the 7 June Night turn.

Victory Conditions: Victory points for a location are awarded to the Allied player at the time of capture according to the Victory Point Schedule on the back of the Play book. Keep a record of the Allied VP total using the Victory Point Track. When a location is captured, cross reference it with the next applicable VP check date on the table. Example: if a hex of Bayeux is captured on 8 June, add 1 VP to the Allied VP Track on the Allied Record Chart. If it was captured on 10 June, however, the 15 June column would be checked and it would no longer be worth any VPs.

If the German player recaptures a victory point hex, reduce the Al-lied VP track a number of points in the same manner. Example: the Allies capture a hex of Caen on 8 June and receive 4 VP. If on 11 June the Germans take it back, the Allied player would reduce his VPs by 3, which is what a hex of Caen would be worth at that point. So, the Allies still net 1 VP for taking it early.

Players wishing to play a shorter game may choose to end the game at six different dates: 9 June, 15 June, 30 June, 15 July, 31 July and 11 August. When the End of Turn Phase of that day is reached, the Allied player wins if he has at least as many VPs as listed on that date in the “Win” column. If the Allied player did not satisfy his victory conditions, then the German player wins.

SUDDEN DEATH VICTORY: During the End of Day Phase after 9 June, 15 June, 30 June, 15 July and 11 August the game ends im-mediately in an Allied Victory if the Allied player has at least as many

VPs as listed in the Sudden Death column for that date. The German player wins a Sudden Death Victory if the Allied player has fewer VPs then what is listed for the previous date. Example: The Allied player would win a Sudden Death Victory on June 15 if he has 13 VPs, the German player would win if he had less than 8 VPs.

campaign Game Victory conditions 9 June 15 June 30 June 15 July 31 July 11 Aug

Win 5 9 18 28 45 50

Sudden Death 8 13 23 40 60 -

NOTE: Captured towns must be in friendly control AND in supply to gain VPs. For example: If a recon unit rushes ahead to capture an objective but is surrounded and cut-off from friendly supply, even if it survives it doesn’t gain the VP. Some players may wish to ignore SD rules; feel free to consider them as optional.

German 709 and 716 Division Artillery: The German player may choose to begin the game with the artillery battalion counters of these divisons on the map (they are listed below as “Optional” in the setup.) If so, they must remove all of the corresponding 709th and 716th division Static Artillery batteries listed in the German setup below.

oPTional rUleS� “a Bloody nightmare”A realistic and possible nightmare scenario for the Allies would have been if the Germans had executed what they did in their wargames conducted on June 5-6.

Instead of playing out an invasion scenario at a meeting, on a table and sending 21st Panzer’s tanks on maneuvers south of Caen - what if they had practiced a reaction to a Normandy invasion by actually moving up the panzers on June 4-5?

Fuel & maintenance concerns probably ruled-out such an ambitious training maneuver at this point, but it was certainly possible.

For this scenario, all units of the following divisions are placed within five hexes of the listed cities:

• 21st Panzer: Valognes• 12ss Pz: Caen• Panzer Lehr: St. Lo• XLVII Pz Corps HQ: St. Lo

�. a Bridge Too FarOperation Overlord originally called for the 82nd Airborne Division to drop in the area of Hill 110, just west of St. Sauveur-le-Vicomte. The 101st was to drop east of the Merderet River as they did, but their area of operations was much wider and included the task of taking Ste. Mere Eglise.

On May 24, 1944 a message was decoded at the top secret facilities at Bletchley Park near London. Gen. Bradley, one of the few officers who were permitted access to these messages was stunned. The re-cently formed German 91st Luftlande Division had been transferred to the Cotentin in mid-April in the exact area of the 82nd’s drop zones. The 91st had been specially trained to resist airborne inva-sion, and the area was being reinforced with anti-glider defenses. The revelation sent shock waves up the chain of command—had the Germans penetrated the Allied veil of secrecy? Did they know the invasion plan?

With only two weeks to go, the 82nd Airborne had to completely

revise its plans. It would drop west of the Merderet closer to the 101st. The original landing plans were meticulously wiped away. Checking the number of every single document as they were burned, the clay models and detailed sand tables pounded to oblivion, every trace of the plans were destroyed for secrecy. The 82nd would have to draw up and train their mission in a matter of days.

What if the message had not been decoded and the 82nd dropped onto its originally planned zones?

For this campaign variant, all rules remain the same with the fol-lowing changes:

The 82nd Airborne Pathfinders are placed on the following loca-tions:

• 505th Regiment: B1340/A4632• 507th Regiment: B1345/A4637• 508th Regiment: B1043/A4334

In addition, German fire against 82nd Airborne units during the Airborne and Landing Phases receive a +1 to their strength and for glider landings, a step loss is received per 17.7 on a roll of 1-4 (instead of 1-2.)

�. 7��th division Full commitmentAdditional units of the 711th Infantry Division, marked with an asterisk (*) for turn of entry, are included in the counter mix. These units may enter on June 8 on the East map edge.

�. �th Panzer divisionThe Panther battalion of the 9th Pz (II/33/9Pz) was delayed more due to command SNAFUs than anything else. So, on August 3 the German player may begin rolling 1D10 each night for its arrival. On a roll of 1-3 it arrives, on a 4-10 roll again next turn. If the optional rule is used the listed entry for this battalion on August 6 is not a default entry, i.e. it may enter later.

�. KG headquartersSome German Divisions had limited mobility and only sent to Nor-mandy what they could provide vehicles for. In the game, the HQs for these units are included, although in reality the complete command structure was not present. Remove the following HQ units from the game: 265th Infantry (7 June), 343rd Infantry (10 June), 266th Infantry (20 June). These units will either operate out of General Supply, or be attached to another Division or KG HQ.

6. British airborneOptionally, the reduced 2nd O&B Battalion and A/12/6 Company from may choose to land in or adjacent to C2814 via Glider on 7 June.

7. random optionalsEach side rolls 1d10 and refers to the approprate table below; The German player(s) roll on the German table, the Allied on the Al-lied one.

The results are mostly Optional rules from the Rulebook, or from the Campaign Game optional rules above. A few are specific to this table and are described below the tables.

allied random oPTional rUleS 1d10 Optional Rule Rule

1 Operation Titanic Fails at St. Lo * 2 A Bridge Too Far Sc 7.2 3 Reinforcing U.S. Rangers at Pt. du Hoc 20.6o* 4 AVRE and Crocodile Tanks Post Invasion 19.6.1o 5 KG Headquarters Sc 7.5 6 Juno Beach DD Tanks 19.6.3o 7 Utah Beach Historical Setup 22.9o 8 Dives Bridges 18.8.5 * 9 Allied (only) Alternate Entrance 9.2o 10 Glider Battalion Alternate DZ 17.7o

Notes

* 1 (New) Operation Titanic was the drop by air of dummy para-troopers at various locations in Normandy. The goal was to distract German defenders from rallying to the correct invasion sites. Even if blown, the operation might still have reaped the benefit of plac-ing doubt into the Germans opinion of the validity of later, correct reports.The three German battalions of the 915 / 352nd Division ignore correct invasion reports based due to the receipt of previous false reports. They may not move during the 6 June AM invasion phases.

NOTE: If the German player rolls for this result, each is either cancelled out or, if both players agree, re-roll.

* 3 20.6o. No roll is necessary; if the Allied player wishes to rein-force at Pt. du Hoc, they may do so.

* 8 18.8.5o. No roll is necessary; all missions are successful and the bridges are destroyed and marked as such.

Notes

* 1 (New) The 352nd correctly identifiies the false drops and re-sponds quickly to the invasion. The three German battalions of the 915 / 352nd Division receive their full 6mp during the 3rd invasion phase of the 6 June AM turn.

If the Allied player rolls for this result, each is either cancelled out or, if both players agree, re-roll.

* 2 (New) 12ss Pz Division correctly identifies the false drops and responds quickly to the invasion. 12ss Pz units that normally arrive on 7 June, arrive instead on the 6 June PM turn with half their MP available.

8.0 Gold - JUno - SWordGame Length: 6 June Night - 11 June P.M.

Map: East edge of Map C to the West Border at Port en Bessen

Weather: Initial Weather is Overcast. 7 June Weather is Cloudy. Roll on each following Weather Phase normally.

Reinforcements: As shown

Replacements: Roll normally, ignoring U.S.replacements. For the Germans, always assume a –1 DRM to the die roll. For example, if they roll a 10, the German player receives 1 Armor and 2 infantry replacements (Not 2 & 3.). Track REM step losses & replacemetnts normally for both sides.

Supply: Starts at 75. Each day, add supply equal to half the normal Weather results, rounded Up. A Mulberry may be built.

Air Points & Interdiction: These are dependent on the Weather. Refer to the following table:

Interdiction Recon Ground Weather Level Air Support

Storm - 0 0 Heavy Rain - 0 6 Light Showers - 1 / 8 6 Fog - 1 / 7 7 Heavy Overcast - 1 / 6 8 Overcast –1 1 / 5 9 Cloudy –1 2 / 7 11 Partly Cloudy –1 2 / 6 15 Clear –1 2 / 5 18

Example: If the weather is Clear, then the Interdiction Level for Map C will be –1, the number of Recon Air attacks assigned to Armed Recon will be 2 at a Hit Number of 5, and the number of Air Points assigned to Ground Support will be 18.

Game Start: CW forces conduct parachute landings and beach assault per the normal sequence of play. Use all Campaign Game rules. Exception: place only British naval units.

6 June PM Support: CW player(s) receive 6 Ground Support points for use during this turn and the Interdiction Level for the German player is at –1.

Victory Conditions: Victory points for a location are awarded to the Allied player at the time of capture according to the Victory Point Schedule on the back of the Play book. Keep a record of the Allied

VP total using the Victory Point Track. When a location is captured, cross reference it with the next applicable VP check date on the table. Example: if a hex of Bayeux is captured on 8 June, add 1 VP to the Allied VP Track on the Allied Record Chart. If it was captured on 11 June, it would no longer be worth any VPs.

If the German player recaptures a victory point hex, reduce the Allied VP track a number of points in the same manner. Example: the Allies capture a hex of Caen on 8 June and receive 4 VP. If on 11 June the Germans take it back, the Allied player would reduce his VPs by 4.

The CW Player wins the game if they have 8 VPs by the end of the scenario. The game ends immediately with an Allied win if they capture Villers Bocage.

“1 ea” : Refers to points received for each hex of the objective captured.

NOTE: Captured towns must be in friendly control AND in supply to gain VPs. For example: If a recon unit rushes ahead to capture an objective but is surrounded and cut-off from friendly supply, even if it survives it doesn’t gain the VP.

German 716 Division Artillery: The German player may choose to begin the game with the artillery battalion counters of this divison on the map (they are listed below as “Optional” in the setup.) If so, they must remove all of the corresponding 716th division Static Artillery batteries listed in the German setup below.

�� The Battle for Normandy — PLAYBOOK

© 2013 GMT Games, LLC

��.0 oPeraTion lÜTTich - morTainBy August 1944, the American Army in Europe had learned to fight. They had paid for that education with the lives of soldiers, from the beaches of Normandy to the breakout of COBRA. When they took Avranches, the surviving officers and NCOs had a cool confidence in their skills and their men. Tanks, infantry, artillery, air support & reconnaissance were now working together with a competence that they did not possess in June and July, and that could only come at such a price.

Facing them on the field, the German army was in a desperate situ-ation. Their outstanding but costly defense in Normandy had only served to instill a fatal belief in Adolf Hitler that the Wehrmacht could somehow hold the Allied armies in France indefinately. Now Lt. General George S. Patton’s 3rd Army was advancing into Brittany, and eastward towards Mayenne. Hitler demanded action.

SS Oberstgruppenführer Paul Hausser, commanding the German 7th Army was pressured to attack. Realizing the almost inevitable danger that came with such a move, he was nevertheless struggling for a way to buy time to solidify his line. If given sufficient rein-forcements, Hausser saw an opportunity to hit the Americans at a perceived weak point between the U.S. 1st and 3rd Army boundary. Gerneralfeldmarschall Guenther von Kluge promised elements of 5 panzer divisions to make the assault. Unfortunately, by the time the German divisions could be scrapped together, Lt. General Courtney Hodges’ 1st Army had advanced another 20km eastwards.

Due to strict radio silence, the Allies usually reliable ULTRA intel-ligence faiiled to pick up on the attack until a mere hours before it hit. a lone American infantry division, the 30th. The 30th ID would bear the brunt of the attack at a small town north of Mayenne, called Mortain.

The Allied player receives a number of Air Points equal to the Weather Roll for the turn. For example, if the Weather die roll was for (6), for Fog, the Allied player receives six Air points for the turn. One of these may be spent during each day turn (AM and PM) to make a single Armed Recon attack with a base Hit Number of 5. Interdiction costs 3 Air Points for each point of Interdiction to be applied on Map F.

Special rules: 1. The German 1ss Panzer division may not move or attack until the 7-August, A.M. turn. It may defend normally if attacked. See the special Air & Interdiction rules above.

2. Use Optional rule 12.5.1o for German Artillery Attack Bonus. (Artillery may provide a +1 DRM to attacks instead of combat strength.)

3. U.S. entrenchments that begin the game in the Bocage are an exception to the normal rule for this scenario. New ones may not be built there in the game.

4. The U.S. CCB Regiment (3rd Armored Div) may not move until the 7 August, P.M. turn. (Many of its tanks were disassembled for maintenance.)

5. Use Optional Rule 10.2o, Traffic Modifier in Bocage/Woods

6. German divisions cannot receive Motorization.

�7The Battle for Normandy — PLAYBOOK

© 2013 GMT Games, LLC

��.0 FalaiSe PocKeTIt was over. The Germans had fought hard, but overwhelminging numbers and the Allied armies were illustrating what a true “blitz-krieg” could be. Hard won lessons had advanced the art of a mobile battle, and it was too much for the German army in France. Now it was simply a matter of trying to hold on and escape with as much equipment as they could, to form some kind of line to the East. The Allies had other plans.

Game Length: 11 August, Night - 21 August P.M.

Maps: E, G

Weather: Roll normally.

Game Setup: The Allied player(s) set up first as directed. For example, if directed to place “w/i 1 or North or West”, then all of that division’s units must be in or adjacent to the HQ, or anywhere North or West of the HQ unit. The Allied player may place 6 Rhino, 3 Crocodile units and 3 Kangeroo units at start.

German player(s) then place their units, in supply to their headquar-ters units (any distance). The German player may place 5 entrench-ments within stacking limits. They may build additiional ones later to the normal limit. German units not listed with their division begin the game eliminated.

Reinforcements (German Option): Divisions may enter on the dates listed, but cost 1 Allied victory point (VP) each to bring into the battle. The 708th Division may enter on 18 or 19 August for 2 Allied VP, 20 August for 1 Allied VP.

Daily Replacements: Roll normally starting on the first turn, how-ever, the U.K. accumulates RPs but cannot use them until the 13 Aug Night turn, at which time they add 3 INF RPs and 2 ARM RPs to their available total. All are then available for use.

Supply: The Allies begin the game with 50 CSPs. Roll normally on that turn, and after. Remember to add 15 for Mulberry and Cherbourg supply each day.

Air Points & Interdiction: The Allies begin the game with 105 Air Points. Treat the extended areas on map G as a separate Interdiction area and interdiction halved on Map E per 23.6.

Game Start: 11 August, Night Inter-Phase

Victory Conditions: For every full strength German PzIV, PzV or Tiger tank battalion that is moved off the East edge after 18 August, the Allied player subtracts 1 VP. (No other units may exit.)

For every hex of the following locations captured, the Allied player receives 1 VP: Falaise, Pont d’Oilly (E3330), Conde sur-Noireau (E3539), Fler, Briouze (G1228), Echouché (G1013), Putanges (E4520) and Argentan. (14 total points available)

Allied Operationsl Victory: 12+ Allied VP. Allied Marginal Vic-tory: 10-11. German Marginal Victory; 8-9. German Operational Victory: 7 VP. German Strategic Victory: 6 or less.

If at any time before 19 August, all German units on the map are out of supply due to Allied EZOCs, it is an Allied Strategic Victory.

��.0 oPeraTion ToTalizeIn early August, General Montgomery ordered the commander of II Canadian Corps, General Guy G. Simonds, to attack German forces along the Bourguebus Ridge south of Caen, in an attempt to cut off the German divisions facing the 2nd British Army to the west of Caen. Simonds was the most battle tested senior commander in the Canadian army, having commanded an infantry division in Sicily and an armored division in Italy.

While it stuck in Montgomery’s craw that while his forces were stuck in the area around Caen, the Americans under Patton’s 3rd Army were driving the Germans back to the southwest, there was also solid military foundation in his desire to attack. The German army’s disastrous attack westward, at Mortain, created an ideal op-portunity to trap almost the entire German army - If Simonds could close the road through Falaise.

The date for the attack was somewhat symbolic, as 8 August 1918 had long been remembered as the “Black day of the German Army” by Ludendorf after the Great War. It marked the date of the massive British and Canadian assault east of Amiens.

For the attack, Simonds had two infantry divisions to force a breach along the ridge and two armored divisions to exploit their advance and push through the German lines towards Falaise.

Facing them was a fresh German 89th infantry division, with the battered but still resilient 12ss panzer division in reserve. Against convention, Simonds decided to attack at night with a limited air & artillery bombardment prior to the attack, in order to fully support the 2nd phase push in the following afternoon by two as-yet untested tank divisions; the 4th Canadian and 1st Polish armoured.

Game Length: 7 August 1944, P.M. - 11 August 1944

For example: if the Allied player rolls a 6, he receives 1 Arm and 1 Inf replacement step in addition to any gained by REM repl.

Supply: Allied Supply starts at 20. Add 6 plus 1d6 Supply Points each day. (Roll and add that result to 6 to get the daily supply.)

Air Points & Interdiction: The Allies have six Armed Recon at-tacks available for use on either the 8 August A.M. or P.M. turn. Two AR attacks and 10 points Ground Support are available for each other turn. Interdiction is always –2. All AR attacks have a Hit Number of 5.

Naval Units: None

Game Start: 7 August P.M., Allied Armed Recon Phas

Victory conditions: The Allied player wins if he gets one or more units into Falaise. Anything else is a German win. Do or die!

Special rules: 1. The game begins in the final phase of the 7 June, P.M turn; Allied Armed Recon Attack. The Allied player conducts 3 AR attacks and play then advances to the 8 August, Night Turn. For these Armed Recon attacks, all German units are considered to have used Tac Movement during their turn (see 11.3.2o.)

2. The only German units that may move during the 8 June Night turn are those that begin the German turn adjacent to an Allied unit.

3. The only units that may move in the Allied 8 August A.M. Mechanized Movement Phase on the 8 August, A.M. are those of the 4 Can Arm and 1 Pol Arm divisions, which enter the game dur-ing that phase.

4. Units of the German 272 infantry division cannot move or attack unless attacked by Allied units. (These units were holding the 12ss right flank, and were faced by the British 49th division. They do not enter the fight unless the Allied player chooses to extend his front into this area.)

5. Use 7.6.3o Graduated Allied Supply Expenditure, 11.3.1o Friendly Fire,

��The Battle for Normandy — PLAYBOOK

© 2013 GMT Games, LLC

�ST ediTion deSiGner noTeSorganization of UnitsSome deviations from historical unit configuration have been made in the game for playability.

In US infantry battalions for example, there was a fourth “heavy weapons” company. It was generally equipped with assorted anti-tank, mortar and machine gun assets but it was almost always split-up and assigned piecemeal to the other three infantry companies. Thus, it is not represented on its own in the game. British and Canadian divisions did have an intrinsic anti-tank regiment, whereas in the US divisions these would be attached as needed by corps command. Note: The use of the term “regiment” in the British army was most often related to the historical regimental legacy of an organization; its actual size was that of a battalion.

German divisions had a much more varied TO&E – in fact, with few exceptions divisions were almost unique in their structure. This was mostly out of necessity, but it also related to how the Germans assigned assets primarily at the division level, and corps headquarters had far fewer intrinsic artillery and anti-tank assets than their Allied counterparts. For example, an infantry regiment would often have two (sometimes three) battalions assigned to it. In addition, the regiment would also have companies of anti-tank guns, SP infantry guns, and engineers assigned and these had to be accounted for in the game. The German commanders would often use these units as a form of “fire brigade”, to defend a particular area. You will see the same necessity in the game repeatedly and the German player frankly needs this flexibility. In the game, you will notice battalions with a designation of “13.”, “14.” etc. These battalions, in the game, represent a combination of the companies assigned as regimental assets.

Allied divisions were also assigned anti-aircraft battalions. Gener-ally, they were equipped with Bofors or quad 50-cal. machine guns. Later in the war, these were used to great effect in combat. However, during the Normandy campaign these were assigned to protecting the beaches, supply dumps, artillery units etc. They have been left out of the game intentionally to prevent their unhistorical use in ground combat.

One additional note: Allied armored battalions had three medium tank companies and one light company. German panzer battalions had four companies, each of which usually had the same equip-ment. In the game, these are simplified to a basic three companies for playability.

The Beach invasion PhasesMuch went into designing the landing sequence. There were a few

important considerations. First, this is a battalion level game, with hexes at a scale of over half a mile and a single turn representing roughly six hours. One turn would necessarily encompass the en-tire invasion, and Turn 2 would begin the expansion phase of the operation. I wanted to reflect the waves of the assault at a slightly expanded scale, and also provide planning and combat mechanisms for both sides.

I think the results are fairly self-explanatory, but I want to clarify a couple of things that needed to be abstracted for playability. In reality, all combat would have occurred immediately inside the single row of beach hexes on the map. For the game, the German defenses, representing beach defensive positions as well as support assets behind the beach, were moved back a hex to allow for hex-to-hex combat.

�ST ediTion Play noTeSBelow are a few tips that will help avoid problems in the early go-ing—things that play testers learned the hard way. I don’t want to give everything away, but simply a few of the ones that will become obvious anyway after playing once or twice.

alliedThe burden of attack is on the Allied player, and he begins the game with a large pool of supply points. Thus, many Allied players will tend to burn this up very quickly (Yeah – I mean you, Lance!). It is so tempting to use the naval assets to light up every panzer battalion you can see, and pile onto weak defenders for a high-odds attack – it’s only a couple of supply points, right? Soon however, he’ll notice that he did not get to Falaise by Sunday, and he is running very low on supply. This is a long campaign and you will find that some turns you may just need to slow down and build some supply for a big push. You might want to make a few “free” attacks from a single hex, with limited support, and accept slightly higher losses against a weak opponent because you will need that supply later.

Naval assets: It is pretty tempting to place your big guns closer to shore, and avoid having to move them later, subjecting them to another round of the Mines/Sub Chart (which also represents mechanical breakdowns.) See those shore batteries and Germans on the coast? They can see you too. Enough said.

A brief note on the Air Points in the game: You will probably notice quickly that there are no Air Point replacements. The Allies had plenty of aircraft, but what they were losing at a much higher rate than many realize is experienced pilots. Conducting air-to-ground attacks against German units that had experienced, accurate AA was a harrowing, dangerous business and if hit, a pilot’s chance of survival was not good, due to their low altitude. The aircraft could be replaced, but the loss of these brave men had a definite effect on the air campaign and this is reflected in the game.

GermanNot tied to the burden of supply, the German player is free to attack wherever he wishes. However, this is restricted by the weight of the Allied assault – which is precisely the reason I eliminated “German supply” early in development. It was redundant. You do have a tre-mendous offensive force though, and given the right circumstances will be able to attack at times, especially against an overextended Allied player. It is a defensive fight for the German players however, so those who really need to be on the attack to enjoy a game may wish to play the Allies in this one.

Other than that, for the Germans one thing to always keep in mind

is the Allied “Armed Recon” attacks. Headquarters sitting alone, or panzer battalions cruising down a highway at full throttle – it is open season for Allied pilots and you are a duck in the pond. Use your terrain and use your AA assets to protect them wherever and whenever possible.

—Dan Holte

�nd ediTion deSiGner noTeSWhy changes?Each individual change has its own story, but for the most part it came down three reasons:

• Research during work on the expansion revealed additional insight, and I was inclined to make a change that would increase realism without upsetting game balance or increasing complexity by a great degree.

• To increase balance, historically, during a particular phase of the game.

• Mostly, it was due to the research performed while working on the expansion.

For the most part, they do not affect play a great deal, with a couple of exceptions. The change to Nebelwerfer fire does add one more thing to remember, but it is more historical and limits the German player more accurately; likewise the change to Counterbattery fire. Each of these were adjusted to play more historically while only adding a bit of complexity.

The Pathfinder placement choice is mostly there to give the Allied player some options, which will in turn add a changing factor to the game start. They may still land off-target after placement, but it adds a bit more variety to the game start situation. Playtesters overwhelmingly found it to simply be more fun to play.

The changes to advance after combat during beach assaults and with Rhinos is another historical change which will also help the Allied player avoid some really unlucky results, while not really changing the overall balance of the game.

The Mulberry change: This was a tough one. Many players be-lieved that an eliminated Mulberry meant loss for the Allied players. While I don’t quite agree with that, the very rare spectre of losing both was a bit much unless things were already going the Allied way in a big way. All hands were raised for this on the playtest team no matter what I thought anyway—so that was that! They won (and admittedly, they were right.)

The Cotentin Peninsula units: A rule of this nature was not included in the original game due to the added complexity; the goal was to keep the game relatively simple. However, after players gave it a

try as an optional rule for awhile, it was found to be an excellent addition; German players are presented with a more realistic chal-lenge. They can still muster up a defensive line, but overall play is better, players deal with a more realistic situation and play time is not really increased.

On the matter of optional rules that were upgraded to standard rules; most of these were played in the original playtest; in one case (Armed Recon) it was the standard rule until the very end, just before release. For one reason or another, they were relegated to potential optional rules, mostly due to added complexity. However, after several years now of play, it is apparent that these simply work better. This is especially true of the Armed Recon rule; this original rule is both more historical and actually plays faster.

Play TiPSWe’re not here to dive into a lot of detail regarding game strategy. Learning that is half the fun and it does take several plays. However, some basic tips to new players will help make the game more enjoy-able right out of the box, and possibly avoid a reset.

allied Players:1. Make sure you plan to get division HQs onshore by the 6 June, P.M. turn. Most often, this means setting them up for landing in the 3rd landing phase box during the invasion turn. You’ll need them to keep your units in combat supply after the invasion phases.

2. If you’re going to go in very aggressively and dump supply in a major thrust over the course of the first few turns, make sure you have a plan with specific goals. Attacking everything in sight may be fun in the short term, but if you do so without having specific objectives which make it worthwhile, it may cost you dearly later.

German Players:1. Be careful attacking north in the early game. While this can be a very effective strategy at times, if not well-planned it could end-up in a disaster very quickly. Allied naval and air can really make you pay, and surrounded units will almost certainly not survive. At best, they will usually be neutralized. On the other hand, neither should you be hesitant to punish Allied players that leave valuable units exposed. Your panzer divisions have teeth, and sometimes, is the right time, to use them.

2. Plan where you’re going to commit your LXXXIV corps HQ carefully. Think about what you’d like to achieve as initially, and place it to support those objectives. The supply trace from that sole HQ may be critical.

3. Use your flak units wisely. Think about your lines of supply and of crucial bridges, and protect them.

Both Players:1. Study carefully the way headquarters units facilitate the bridg-ing of rivers. Note how it works with supply trace and range, and its limitations. Doing so will help identify both opportunities and vulnerabilities.

2. Patience is crucial. Sometimes things really seem to be going wrong—but often the other side is thinking the same thing. It’s a long game, and though sometimes victory or loss will seem right around the corner, the weather or the dice just don’t quite conform to it.

3. Pay close attention to your supply lines, and protect your head-quarters units—this is especially crucial for the German players but applies to the Allies as well.

Initial Setup, Germans at Sword Beach: The German player has placed Strongpoints (SP) and infantry battalions prior to break-down. Strongpoint strengths are hidden to the Allied player.

Placement of German units.

Initial Setup, Germans break down battalions: Applicable battal-ions are broken down and placed by the German player. III/736/716 is broken down to three companies and placed one on each Strong-point. The German player decides to only release one company from the I/736/716, placing it adjacent to the reduced battalion as shown. Strongpoint strengths are still unknown to the Allied player.

Placement after breakdowns.

Initial Setup, Allies place battalions: The Allied player places the battalions he wishes to assault with from those available at the start of the game at Sword Beach. Note: Once broken down, he will further organize them by company. Some of the tank and infantry companies might be placed together. The Allied player has decided

to place an artillery battalion in the 3rd Phase at Queen White, hop-ing that the infantry and tanks will have cleared the beach since the artillery unit cannot breakdown, and therefore cannot land in an enemy Zone of Control.

Initial Setup, Allies break down battalions (a): For the purposes of this example, the first two battalions landing at Queen Green are shown. These two units are an infantry battalion and a tank battal-ion. These break down to three tank companies and three infantry companies. The Allied player decides to land one tank company as a DD in phase 1 (since 1ERY/27 is allowed to land as DD) along with two infantry companies. The other three companies; one infantry and two tank, are placed in the Phase 2 assault hex. Their corresponding battalion units are placed in the holding hex.

Units on Queen Green Landing Queue after breakdown.

Initial Setup, Allies break down battalions (b): All battalions are shown broken down; companies are in their placement hexes and the battalion units that were broken down are located in their respective beach holding boxes. The Allied player has also decided to place an AVRE and Crocodile unit of the 79th Armoured Division for support along with an engineer unit. In these three hexes, there are now a total of four units, but as the support units have no stacking value in this case, it is allowed.

Phase 1, Allied Landing/Movement: The Allied player first rolls for survival for the two DD tanks, rolling a 1 on 1d10 for Queen Green and a 7 for Queen White. The second does not make it and is eliminated. Now for Drift: First, the Commandos at Peter, which receive a –1 to Drift rolls; 7, 9 and 6. All make it and move into hex 2217. Queen Green (1 AVRE, 1 DD, 2 inf): rolls 5, 9, 3 and 7. The DD co. drifts, and lands at 2315, all others land in 2316. Queen White (2 inf; the DD was eliminated): rolls 7, 3; both land at 2315 (NOTE that if the DD had not been eliminated, there could have been a stacking problem at 2315 and one company may have had to remain “at sea”). Roger (3 Cdo’s); rolls 6, 0 and 3. One Commando lands at 2414 and the other two land at 2314.

Phase 1, Allied Landing/Movement (b): The DD Tank that sur-vived and landed near Lion-sur-Mer gets a “first fire” attempt and rolls to hit the German SP and infantry company in 2416. With a “to hit” number of 2, he misses with a roll of 8. All Phase 2 and Phase 3 units now move up one hex. See below. This step normally would be performed immediately when the DD landed; for this example it is described here.

Situation after Drift and DD die rolls.

Phase 1, German Fire: The German units in 2316 choose to fire at the British stack in 2216. There are three British units in this hex, which will give a +1 stacking modifier. The German player flips his SP, revealing a 2-strength. Combined with the infantry company and the modifier, the hit number is 4; rolling a 9, a Miss. The next Ger-

man SP in 2416 flips and it is a 1. Add the infantry company and the modifier, for a hit number of 3 firing at 2315. Rolling a 3, he obtains a hit. The Allied player chooses to lose one infantry company.

Fire continues from 2415. The SP strength of 3, and infantry of 1 (total strength 4) firing at the Commandos in 2314 with no stacking modifier and a roll of 5 brings a Miss. Next, the infantry company in C2514 with strength 1 fires at the lone adjacent Commando; a roll of 8 —another miss. The reduced battalion now fires at its only available target, the same lone Commando for a “to hit” of 2; a roll of 1 is a hit! The Commandos die. The situation now looks like this:

Phase 1, Allied Fire: The Commandos form up into their battalion unit. Considering the stacking rules, the Allied player combines the two British inf. companies in 2317 under the AVRE, to the reduced 2EY/8/3. These units fire at the German 1 SP and inf. company in 2416. With a 2-strength and +1 (for the AVRE vs. Strongpoints), the hit number is 3. The roll of 3 is a hit! The German player chooses to lose the Strongpoint. Next, the tank and infantry companies in 2315 fire at the German 3 SP and inf company in 2415. With a strength of 3 and a +1 Combined Arms modifier, they roll a 3 – another hit! The German player chooses to lose the infantry. Last, the two commandos in 2314, combined into the reduced 3/1SS, fire at the same German 3 SP. A roll of 4 is a miss. The Allied Fire Phase is finished.

Situation after Allied Fire Phase

Phase 1, German Movement: In Phase 1, the German player only has 1 MP available. The center is obviously quite vulnerable, but the German player can’t immediately move anything into the hex

to help, due to the British ZOCs. He decides to move the infantry company in 2514 over to 2516, and the infantry unit with the 2 SP in 2417 one hex into 2417. The I/736/716 decides to hold its position. Limiting the Allied mobility in the early phases keeps them from getting more units onto the beach.

Phase 2, Allied Landing/Movement: After carefully examining the situation, the British player decides to move the 41/4SS up the bluff to 2218, clearing a beach hex. Hex 2316, with the reduced bat-talion and AVRE in it, only have room for one company. The British player moves one tank company and the 10 RE unit into that hex. The remainder of the units in the Phase 1, Queen Green hex move into the beach hex vacated by the 41/4SS.

Since the British tank and infantry companies in the center have nowhere to move, it becomes obvious that the 7/3 Artillery unit is not going to make in onto the beach even if it is cleared of EZOCs – not during the Invasion Phases anyway. Though the artillery battalion only has a stacking value of 1, the stacking limit dictates three companies OR one battalion in an Assault hex. The British player advances one tank company, and the Croc unit. Finally, the 3/1SS Commando, also restricted from advancing, will still allow two commando companies to advance from the Roger, Phase 1 hex because it only has a stacking value of 2, and is no longer in an As-sault hex (i.e., “at sea”).

While increasing his fire combat potential against the German defenders, the British player has also increased his risk against the German fire phase coming up. Note: For the purposes of this example, German artillery fire is omitted.

The units in the Phase 2 Assault hexes advance according to the stacking limits.

Situation after Allied Movement Phase.

Phase 2, German Fire: The German 2 Strongpoint in 2317 fires on the four British units in 2315. With a 2 strength and a +2 stacking modifier, the German player rolls a 6; a miss. The adjacent infan-try company in 2416 fires with a hit number of three, at the same stack (1+2 for stacking) and rolls another 6; a miss. Finally, the 3 Strongpoint in 2415 fires at the stack in 2315 with a hit number of five (3+2 for stacking), rolling a 2; a hit. Of the units targeted; two tank companies, an infantry company and a Croc unit, the British player eliminates the infantry.

Phase 2, Allied Fire: The potent Allied stack in 2216, with a Royal Engineer, an AVRE, a tank company and a reduced infantry battalion, turns its crosshairs on the 2 Strongpoint in 2417 with a fire strength of 7 (2 inf, + 2 tank, +1RE w/infantry, +1 AVRE vs. Strongpoint, +1 Combined Arms) rolls a 4 and destroys the Strongpoint. The two tank companies and Croc in 2315 fire on the German infantry co. in 2416 with a firepower of 5 (2 tank, +2 tank, +1 Croc vs. Infantry), rolling a 1; another hit! The infantry company is eliminated. Finally, the two Commando companies combine to the reduced 6/1SS and fire with the reduced 3/1SS on the 3 Strongpoint with a firepower of 4, rolling a 9; a miss. The situation now looks like this:

Situation after Allied Fire Phase.

Phase 2, German Movement: The situation is becoming quite dire for the Germans at Sword Beach. However, they may still be able to keep Allied troops bottled-up on the beach for at least one more phase. The German player advances the infantry company in 2417 back to 2316 and leaves his other infantry where they are, to block the Allied advance. The move will not likely come without a cost, however…

Phase 3, Allied Landing/Movement: To the Allies frustration, the German player has successfully blocked the expansion of the center and eastern sections of the beachhead for now, though he will almost certainly lose at least one more infantry company in the process. Due to the ZOCs of the surviving German infantry, the Allied player can only advance units from the beach at 2217, though he can advance companies onto the beach. One company from the Queen Green Phase 1 hex lands on hex 2216; one tank company from the Queen White Phase 1 hex lands at 2315, joining the two

other tank companies and the Croc unit there. Finally, one Com-mando company lands at 2314 to join the two reduced Commando battalions. He also moves up a Commando company from the Roger Phase 2 hex to Phase 1.

Phase 3, German Fire: The German player has only two units left adjacent to the Allied forces. He chooses to fire the infantry company in 2316 at the Allied stack in 2216, with a strength of 3 (1 inf +2 stacking modifier). Rolling a 2, it’s a hit. The Allied player chooses to lose an infantry step; the already reduced 2EY/8/3 is replaced with a breakdown company (this will allow him to keep the CA modifier with the tank company). The 3 Strongpoint fires at the Allied troops in 2315 with a strength of 5 (3 SP +2 stacking modifier). Rolling a 5, it’s another hit! The three tank companies leave little choice for the Allied player; he loses one.

Situation after German Fire Phase

Phase 3, Allied Fire: With the Germans on the ropes at Sword, the Allies begin their fire with the the 41/4SS Commando. With 3-firepower and rolling a 6, it is a miss. The two inf companies in 2216 form-up to the reduced 1SR/8/3, and with the tank company fire with a strength of 5 (2 inf, +2 tank, +1 CA modifier). Rolling a 10; another miss! With their last shot at the German infantry company, the tank and inf company in 2316 have a firepower of 5 – the AVRE is of no help against the German infantry company (2 tank + 1 inf + 1 engineer w/Inf +1 CA modifier). The Allied player rolls a 3: a hit and the German inf company is removed. Next, the two tank companies in 2315 (with the Croc) fire at the SP. With a 4 firepower (the Croc cannot help against an SP), he rolls a 1; a hit and the Strongpoint is removed.

Situation after Allied Fire Phase #3.

Phase 3, German Movement: The German player, with 3 Move-ment Points available in Phase 3, sees little benefit in sacrificing his remaining battalion, I/736/716 so retreats it south to a better defen-sive position. The infantry company is moved west to the farmland to try to slow the Allies a bit in the afternoon.

Allied Beachhead Placement: With the landing phases complete, the Allied player must now select his Beachhead hex. Units in the Assault hexes that have not landed are formed-up where possible and set aside to be landed on a later turn. Other units on the beach are also formed-up as well. Any units left in the holding hexes are now placed in the Eliminated Box on the Allied Record Chart and may be rebuilt later with Replacement Points.

The AVRE and RE units are removed, though the Crocodile unit remains in the game.

The Allied player must now select a permanent beachhead hex, which will be their source of supply. They choose the Queen Green position, for its quick access to roads and landing points.

Sword Beach is open. While the German player sacrificed a few companies to slow the Allies and the beachhead was formed, the 21st Panzer Division to the south has not been idle. ..And they are waiting…
