Can anyone recommend any good sources for battalion level scenarios? Can be from other games (I'm focusing on O' Group and have already purchased what I can) or other books. North Africa (1940-1943)
Italy (1943-1945)
Western Europe (D-Day to Berlin)
Eastern Europe (Barbarossa to Berlin) Thank you |

We designed a number of scenarios for skirmish level WW2. We had created a topic focus such as BCI, Africa and Middle East among others. We worked on 20-30 scenarios each.
For board set up, we used the clock sector, top north row 1,2,3; second middle row 4,0, 5: third south row 6,7,8 |

Command Decision scenario books? |

What Yellow Admiral said. The various CD campaign books are outstanding, as are the dozen or so scenarios in the CDIV rulebook. If you just want to push a battalion around, there are plenty of smaller scenarios in there. The Rapid Fire 1942 Desert Battles one is OK too, and a big shout out to TAC Publications "Eastern Front 1944" which has a range of brigade level engagements, and includes a mini Siege of Tarnopol campaign. It is easy to convert all of these to other rule sets. |

Sorry, I missed you were playing O Group. I'm not convinced O Group is much good for historical scenarios, without a lot fiddling around with the setup process. Obviously, give it a go and see how you get on. |

Why do you say O' Group isn't good for historical scenarios? |

There are loads of good battalion level scenarios for Battlefront:WW2 over at fireandfury.com.
The rules are at the same level as O group so are ideal. |

Google the Warning Order periodical put out by the Wasatch wargamers. Starting with about Issue #37 they have a series of generic scenarios titled as "Engagement #1, #2, etc. the author recommends a period for the engagement but they can be used for any period. |

Panzer Korps has several scenario books worth looking at. |

CptC, it's my impression of O Group, that's it's a terrific system for fighting infantry battalion actions, with limited supporting armor. The rules are quite novel, that they indeed tackle the less-trod PBI's war. Your recent threads exploring 1/144th scale vs. 6mm would lead to believe you might be wanting more mobile, AFV action (?), but 12mm figs will definitely look good for infantry-centric gaming too. |
