Hi

Can anyone point me to some squad/Platoon scenarios on line ? As I'm new to the period/scale I'd like some freebies to start with if possible.

TIA.

Here are some samples for the Skirmish Campaign series -- which is, IMO, very fine: link

Interesting, and sufficiently so to make me think about spending money, but none of the UK links show any for sale.

Most rule publishers put something together to show and sample their rules in play. Websites and you tube have lots of stuff to see. Check out the sites and forums for rules like Final Combat (Britton Publishers), Bolt Action, Disposable Heroes, etc.

I'll also second the Skirmish Campaigns books. I have several and they are adaptable to many rule sets.

Platoon Forward from Too Fat Lardies isn't a freebie but does provide some excellent materials to generate your own scenarios for either solo or face to face play.

I got some from Caliver Books a couple of months ago – loads here:

Platoon Forward is a campaign supplement but it also includes a huge number of scenarios that you can plop forces into (and even generate randomly).

Its one of those little products everyone should own.
