Historical scenarios

Lists Yorkist and Lancastrian commanders and their contingent draws (e.g. Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke: 2 RR, 5 WW, 5 CoA) with a map and historical background.

A Coat of Steel-Battle Scenario VI February 3rd, 1461 Orders of Battle Mortimer's Cross

Lutterell has Command Rating 7 and his troops count as Wavering to reflect possible treachery or withdrawal; Bourke's Regiment in the castle are Poor Shooters with -1 on all firing to reflect ammunition problems.

Lutterel is given a Command Rating of 7 to reflect his reluctance to engage, and his troops count as Wavering

A US company team of the 194th Armored Brigade conducts an active defence with three platoons on hills 373, 371 and 386 against T62 battalions with BMPs, ZSU-23-4s and reconnaissance elements advancing in column.

Company, Battalion, 194th Armored Brigade, can expect to be attacked by an enemy tank regiment, reinforced with at least one motorized rifle battalion

Scenario 1 (MTB Attack) and Scenario 2 (DD Attack) pit British light forces against the raider Michel and five torpedo boats, with Channel Dash forced movement, VP scoring and a mini-campaign option where damage carries over. Ship cards add torpedo values and repairable/permanent damage tracks.

If you are playing this as a two scenario mini-campaign then damage incurred in Scenario 1 carries over to this scenario.

There are seven scenarios plus a learning Scenario #0, each with background, OOBs giving unit quality and formation breakpoints, a 6'x4' map, objectives, a turn limit and special rules.

Each scenario in the campaign includes historical background, orders of battle, a tabletop map, objectives, and any notes for deployment and special rules.

OOBs cover X Corps (45 units, 5 outposts) and the 9th Army Group (96 units). Special rules include Drive to the Yalu (no Allied retreat at first), Hagaru Firebase, Leave No Man Behind, General Smith's secret pre-battle choice, Surprise Attack (+1 Chinese ops die) and Double Envelopment.

Allied units are NOT permitted to retreat on their first nighttime turn (Nov. 28) or first daytime turn (Nov. 29).

Each scenario (e.g. Poteidaia) lists Hegemon and strategoi ratings, divisions of lochoi, base Arete per side, set-up areas and special rules such as random reinforcement rolls on turns 6-8 and allied political stances.

The following scenarios have been designed specifically for The Perfect Captain’s Hoplomachia Miniature battle rules.

Full company-level orders of battle are given for St Leger's British, loyalist, Jäger and native force (natives counting as twelve units) and for the garrison and two relief columns, with a deployment map.

This is a loose generic campaign scenario designed to be adapted to any American War of Independence rule set.

Union: Banks, Fremont and Shields each with 6 brigades of 6 stands, cavalry and two batteries. Confederate: Jackson's and Ewell's Divisions of 8-stand brigades plus Ashby's cavalry, with stated grades.

Gen. Nathaniel Banks (Cautious, 2 morale passes) base at Winchester. 6 brigades of 6 stands each

Each provides background, map, orders of battle with CPs per commander and training classes per unit, deployment and special rules (e.g. Morgan's Rifles kill leaders on a 1 without the second roll).

Loose Files and American Scramble Scenario for Andy Callan’s American War of Independence rules Freeman’s Farm 19 September 1777

The book includes Introductory (Eastern Front 1943), State Farm #79, A Costly Setback, Black Monday, Bir El Gubi, Run to Sidi Suleiman, A Throw at Stonne and Stark Resistance. Each has OOBs with force cohesion levels, terrain, special rules and victory conditions. Korsun (Hill 239), Elsenborn Ridge and El Guettar are separate scenarios.

Both sides enter the playing surface on turn one (1), Germans from one narrow edge, Soviets from the other.

72" x 48" table, one figure about ten men; Māori Taua defender (544 pts, 51 figures) and Crown Field Force attacker (545 pts, 53 figures) built as Redcoats and Tomahawks specialised forces, with terrain definitions for gulley, lake-edge marsh, heavy bush and the Pā.

SCENARIO 1 - THE FIGHTING AT PUKETUTU PA - 8 MAY 1845

The types are Clash in open seas, Defending the motherland, Meeting engagement (columns in epi keras, no signals), Ambush behind a cape, Bottled up (beached fleet launching squadrons on 10+), Convoy (freighters must exit) and Amphibious battle. A separate scenario covers Knidos, 394 BC, with named squadrons and traits.

Here are a number of different situations which provide interesting tactical challenges for the players.

Dodge City Draw (1881) adds random citizens to a posse on d10 1-4 after each fire action; Riding Shotgun includes a stagecoach that can be whipped and used to ram. Characters are supplied as unit cards with Toughness ratings.

After resolving every “Fire” action taken by any character, roll a d10. On a result of 1-4, the player who fired is assigned one random citizen for their posse.

Each scenario places terrain on a 5' x 8' table divided into lettered/numbered one-foot squares based on British War Office maps, specifies deployment order, off-board artillery areas, reinforcement turns, game length and victory conditions. Scenarios can be scaled down 1:3 or 2:3, and guidance is given for creating your own with the Prussians 1.5 times larger.

The gaming table (5' x 8') is broken down into one foot squares, which are designated by a letter and a number to determine their coordinates.

Little Roundtop, Pickett's Charge and McPherson's Ridge each give an overview, orders of battle and scenario rules; e.g. Little Roundtop lasts 8 turns, gives 10 VP for holding the hill, and has the 20th Maine roll from turn 6 to run out of ammunition, after which it charges with a bonus.

Starting Turn 6, the Union player rolls 1D6. On a 4+ the 20th Maine runs out of ammunition and can not longer shoot for the rest of the game.

British: Tonnant (80) and three 74s plus two frigates; French: Formidable (80), three 74s and two frigates, with storm-damaged French ships of the line moving one square less. Fresh wind from the South gives the British the weather gauge.

Because of earlier storm-damage all French line of battle ships move one square less than normal when sailing in any direction.

Provides terrain notes (walls hard cover, river impassable except at bridge, hedges linear obstacles) and historical deployments for Parliamentarians and Royalists.

The Parliamentarians deploy first within 24” of the right side of the battlefield.
