Just checking as whether is me or is anyone else having problems getting on to the site.? Keep on getting 'Timed Out' message from my browser indicating either unavailable or very busy.? As this has been the message I having been getting on and off for the last 7 hours, don't think it's the latter....

If you want to go that way, I'd have a look at the IABSM scenarios or campaigns...

An excellent suggestion Allan. I've seen the expanded versions of the scenarios for "29 Let's Go" and thought that several PSCs would bear scaling up.

Of course, this requires a campaign supplement for O Group. I'm sure one will be out by Easter.?

My coat? But it's cold outside. :-)

I've ordered the book at ?23.

Just a thought here and it might just be me but ...... would this set of interlinked operations not be ideal for an O Group scenario/campaign?

I've played the Martlet/Dauntless PSC in CoC, but the wider action may well be suited to a battalion plus action.

Anyone have a suggestion for where I can find a list of the Germans in Martlet??? Most sources are British, and list the British in detail, but other then Panzer Lehr and 12th SS, no details about who was there.?

Re: What Special had the excellent article on Operation Martlet?

 

I just checked the reference book of the game and it lists, in addition to 12th SS and Pz Lehr:

Elements of 21st Panzer, specifically elements of I and II battalions, 192nd Pz Grenadier Regt

Elements of 101 SS Heavy Pz Bn, 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies inc Wittman, with Tiger 1s

Elements of Luftwaffe 4th Flak Assault Regt with towed 88s

This game covers company sized actions between elements of the 12th SS Panzer Division (Hitler Youth) and Panzer Lehr and the British 49th Infantry Division (The Polar Bears) near Caen during Operation Martlet/Dauntless.

Re: What Special had the excellent article on Operation Martlet?

 

I presume you're looking for more than appears in the Pint Sized Campaign??

I have the boardgame of the battle. It's called Operation Dauntless. I don¡¯t know how accurate it is but I'd be happy to summarise the German forces if it helps.

Subject: Re: [TooFatLardies] CoC - couple of rule checks

Hi Bill, don't apologise for asking questions, we all were beginners.?

There's more information about throwing grenades over walls in the faq document. Page 14 says treat it like a high obstacle,? but I don't see that in the main rules.?

Hits are split among adjacent units within 4 inches. But shock is only shared within the squad.?

The faq should be in the files section here.?

Kind regards

Hi - still playing Scenario 4 from Kampfgruppe von Luck " Delaying action at the Chateau " and a couple of re questions have come up:

1. Throwing grenades over 8ft walls - if you miss do they come back as you are throwing upwards?

2. Shock - if a support unit is within 4 inches of a squad do they count for sharing shock - in our example a Panzershreck team has attached itself to a squad of 4 men with 6 shock?

Sorry if these have already been covered off but we had a lot of discussion over them tonight!

IABSM Force roster

 

Long time since I posted on here!
Someone was asking on the other TFL forum about the old force roster which used to lurk in the files section of the original yahoo forum. I¡¯ve just had a look through the files section here and can¡¯t see it any more. I have a copy which I¡¯d happily upload, if I knew how to do it!?

I think it may be of use to some to help record losses to sections - I know a lot of people (me included) use micro dice for casualties/shock, but it gives people the option of a crib sheet if they prefer.?

Anyway, if anyone knows how I can stick it in the Files section then maybe they could let me know.

Stay safe and keep rolling them bones...
