Synopsis:

The enjoyment of wargaming is greatly enhanced if the battles (games) are played within well thought-out scenarios. Instead of simply lining up evenly-matched armies and fighting to the death, the players can have realistic objectives (such as the capture of a vital piece of terrain or delaying a superior enemy to cover a retreat) and be confronted with more challenging tactical decisions. Devising such scenarios can take a lot of effort, and more critically, time, which is always in short supply. This book is designed to take the time and effort out of organising fascinating and challenging wargames set in the Northwest Europe theatre of operations in 1944-5. In addition to 20 carefully devised scenarios of varying size and complexity, this book contains a concise introduction to the theatre of operations and an integrated chronology of battles and campaigns, showing where the scenarios fit into the wider events. 'The scenarios were written for use with Pen & Sword's Battlezone WW2 rules but are easily adaptable to other major rule systems. For each scenario you will find Concise introduction to the NWE theatre of operations with chronology to place the scenarios in context.20 carefully devised scenarios of varying size and complexity.
