RAPID FIRE RELOADED: The Road to Carentan

1-44656

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 YouTube WW2TV shows. The scenarios are Angoville-au-Plain (D-Day), Vierville (D-Day plus 1), Saint-Come-du-Mont (D-Day plus 1) and Purple Heart Lane Breakout (D-Day plus 4). Focuses 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 6x4 foot or 5x4 foot tables using Reloaded rules (or Rapid Fire 2 rules if players prefer). Includes historical backgrounds, full graphic orbats, battle maps, special rules, and a section on troops needed.
