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

You can check out these at this Fire and Fury/Battleground website. link

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.
