WWII Scenario book - Forgotten Battles.

Forgotten Battles from France to Germany, January to April 1945, covers 23 hard fought actions on the western front at the end of the war. Written by Peter Heath and published by Anschluss Publishing.

Described as Module 2, it is the first scenario book to follow the release of Peter Heath’s WWII rules called ‘The War on the Ground’, but the scenario book is not specific to his rules and with a current popularity in various rules at this level, there will likely be broad interest in them.

The rest of this post will cover my initial impressions of this Perfect Bound 88 page module and include an overview of a small infantry / artillery action. Please use the ‘read more’ tab for the rest of this post. 

New WWII rules from Anschluss Publishing

A surprise, to me at least, last week Victrix Games announced that they had stock of a new rule set by Peter Heath, published by Anschluss Publishing called The War on the Ground, which is a 1:1 scale system for WWII that will typically see between a company and a battalion, together with supports, artillery and air support, fighting it out over the Normandy.

Victrix are just getting into WWII plastics at the 12mm scale and in my latest routine newsletter e-mail I get from them, came news of these new rules for £16. My order went in and a week later they arrived.

So this post is just offering some early observations of the rules and in the way that I often do, I will use a small AAR with an exploded first turn to examine the sequence of play and system in a bit of depth.
