Hello Gentlemen:

NOTE: VERSION 2 please use this zip file and have everyone download the new files.

This is a model of Operation Epsom, the attempt by the Scotsmen to march up Hill 112 and take it from the Germans.

1944

Anyone familiar with Normandy will be familiar with this battle, but for those new to it, check this scenario out.

It's a barnburner.

Regards,

Dan

Large but fun to play. Set up as a team game but manageable as one on one.

If you ever read any history about Hill 112 - then you know how important this hill was and how bloody the fighting was. In Dan's design he brings this heavy fight to life! Germans get the long guns to defend the hill - but the Allies have the men and machine to take it. Dan will be altering this design after our play testing to make this another Classic!

Allies are very heavy in this one...germans get reinforced but not soon enough though. Once Allies get rolling there really is no stopping them.

Hello Gentlemen:

Jesse let me know there were some issues with the game files so I have updated them with my latest Zip file. It should work fine. I have not trimmed this yet, so the general consensus is that the Germans have either a slight or a moderate advantage. When I get around to this I will try to balance it better. Then again, overall, the games have been split, so I may be trying to fix what isn't broke.

In any case...this version plays well and I believe it is a faithful recreation of that happened at Hill 112.

Regards,

Dan

The Germans need to be Masters in the fine art of a fighting withdraw in order to have a chance in this one.
