O Group - Assault St Manvieu scenario solo

Set up the first scenario from the new O Group Normandy supplement for a solo bash to try to get the rules back into space betwixt my ears as its been awhile.

Scenario is 'Assault on St Manvieu' set on 26th June as opening to Epsom offensive.

Germans are defending with a Battalion from 26th SS PzGr of 12th SS Pz Divn and British attacking with a Battalion from 6th Royal Scottish Fusiliers of 15th Scottish Divn both with some armoured and artillery support, ie standard stuff for an O Group game.

I set up table based on included map but as ever Mr Brown says to add 'plenty' of crop fields to give some cover to infantry, must say would rather the maps showed the required terrain as never sure if I have used too many or too few of such fields ?

After a re-read of deployment rules initial units/ambushes set up and I have played 3 turns thus far.

Not very solo friendly of course with the Combat Patrols and suchlike but found it fairly easy to get back into the straightforward combat/movement/command systems.

Hopefully a face to face game in due course.



Not the best pics ever as not many actual units deployed on table as yet

  1. Thanks, hopefully playing scenario tomorrow at local club and will be interesting to see how their terrain set up compares.
