White Star Rising - a campaign game AAR

To get a feel of how the campaign games play out, I took the mini campaign (3 battles) as presented in issue 9 of Line of Fire (Lock ‘n Load house magazine) for a spin.

What follows is a play through summary of my first attempt at the campaign. The basic idea is that the American must win scenario 1 to progress to scenario 2 and that the American casualties of the first battle means those units will not be available to the scenario 2 OoB. Providing the American also wins the 2nd scenario, the surviving forces will progress to the third and final battle.

White Star Rising AAR - Noville

AAR for White Star Rising. Scenario 1 - Noville, Belgium.

In this scenario, American forces (507th Para and CCA) are defending the town of Ste. Jeanne and surrounding area. Kampfgruppe Beck (all located to the west of the river) must cross the river and capture all 3 hexes of Ste. Jeanne before the end of turn 8. Beck have a detachment off board that will enter play via a road hex on either the north, south or west edge of the board, randomly determined by a die roll.
