Description
The final part of our first Memoir '44 Battle Maps series is a must - have for strategy game lovers. It includes two brand - new, ready - to - play Overlord scenarios, six Half - tracks, six Jeeps, and four standard scenarios. In the 'Disaster at Dieppe' scenario, relive Operation Jubilee. The Canadians aimed to seize and hold a major port, but faced a tough battle on the mile - long landing beach. With headlands at both ends and barbed wire across, the landing troops initially made it through the first row of wire with minor losses. However, tank issues and late - arriving troops led to a disastrous outcome, with nearly 60% of the landed men killed, wounded, or captured. The lessons from this battle were crucial for the Normandy landings two years later. The 'Capture of Tobruk' scenario takes you to the North African front. After Rommel's Afrika Korps smashed British defenses at Gazala, they advanced on Tobruk. The city, protected by the 2nd South African Division, had a 30 - mile defense perimeter. But Rommel's attack from the South East, with engineers clearing mines and wires under morning mist, led to the fall of Tobruk. This Battle Map set also has 4 Standard scenarios. 'Raid on Barce' and 'Rommel's Right Hook' feature new jeeps as long - range patrol cars, while 'Panzers in the Atlas' and 'Le - Mesnil - Adèle' showcase the new Sd.Kfz. 250 half - tracks. Detailed rules for these vehicles are included. Note: This is not a stand - alone game. You need one copy of Memoir '44 and the Operation Overlord expansion, or two full copies of Memoir '44. The four Standard scenarios require the Terrain Pack and/or the Mediterranean Theater. Purists may need two copies of the Mediterranean Theater expansion for proper - colored figures in Overlord Scenarios.
How to use: First, make sure you have the required base game and expansions as mentioned. Set up the game board according to the scenario you choose. Place the included Half - tracks, Jeeps, and other game pieces as directed in the scenario rules. Follow the rules for each scenario to play the game. Pay attention to the special rules for the long - range patrol cars and half - tracks. Things to note: This is not a stand - alone game, so don't try to play it without the necessary base game and expansions. The four standard scenarios need additional packs. If you're a purist wanting the right - colored figures in Overlord Scenarios, get two copies of the Mediterranean Theater expansion. Maintenance advice: Keep the game pieces in a dry and cool place. When not in use, store the game board and pieces in the provided box or a suitable container to avoid damage and keep them organized.
