American
Things were going so well until the
Germans counter attacked.
Setup
This is obviously a 1/72 scale scenario, designed by Alan. It
is played on a 7 foot by 12 foot table played at Paul's house.
Situation
You are the commander of one-half of a combined American/British task force proceeding
toward a German V-2 launch site. Intelligence indicates that the missile will be ready to
launch sometime in the daylight hours of this day, but exactly when is not known. You are
proceeding cautiously but steadily because you know that the missile is aimed at your
hometown of London. You are to attack the launch site to stop the launch and capture
the missile, the fuel, and the control building intact if at all possible.
Squads of British Commandos and American Rangers are coordinating an attack from the West,
but if they fail, it is up to you.
Victory conditions:
Full victory is achieved if you capture the V-2, the fuel and the control
building.
Partial victory is achieved if the V-2 and either the control building or the fuel
is captured.
A minor victory is achieved if you capture only the V-2.
