I just posted up a Bolt Action scenario for Brecourt Manor on my blog: link "On June 6th, 1944, 1st Lt. Winters of easy company, 506th parachute infantry regiment, lead an assault against a German artillery position located very near Brecourt Manor. This assault was made popular by the Band of Brothers TV series episode Day of Days. This scenario recreates the key elements of that assault. The US reinforcements (infantry section) is meant to represent Lt. Spears showing up to assist with the assault. Spears lead the assault against the 4th gun position, running towards the objective from outside of the trenches in the open! I've also added some special rules to make it a little more historically accurate with the US starting the game (first dice must be US) and the first action is to grenade an MMG position. During the assault, Winters found extremely valuable intelligence on German positions throughout the area. This is represented as well in the scenario. All that being said, as with any historical scenario, there is some fudging needed in order to make the fight challenging for both sides." Regards, Jay |
