AGAINST ALL ODDS - the ATS system drops you into the heart of the desperate struggle by the 82nd Airborne Division to hold open the Utah Beach exits on June 6, 1944

Our Goal: The Battle of Normandy in hyper-detail, including other Normandy 82nd AB battlefields (yes, a 'Hill 30' expansion is coming for owners of AGAINST ALL ODDS!)

 

AGAINST ALL ODDS is a detailed new ATS system game that tells the story of the Battle of Normandy from the perspective of the 82nd Airborne soldiers tasked with defending the exits to Utah Beach on D-Day. Their assignment was critical—the survival of the beachhead at Utah depended on the tenacity of the airborne. Hitler’s Panzers must not get through. The bridge at La Fiere, spanning the Merderet River, was the path that counter-attacking German troops would neccessarily have to cross to penetrate to Utah Beach. Their crossing would be challenged by the men of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. The ‘All American’ soldiers holding the bridge were armed with little more than a few bazookas, some Gammon grenades, and a lone 57mm anti-tank gun. What they lacked in armament would have to be made up in courage as Nazi soldiers began a series of attacks aimed at breaking the airborne cordon around the bridge at La Fiere and crushing the beachhead at Utah Beach.


Your investment in the Advanced TOBRUK SYSTEMTM (ATS) will be rewarded as an unprecedented library of new ATS MODULES, each covering a different World War II battle, is published. The ATS depicts tactical-level warfare on numerous battlefields of World War II, including Finland, the Eastern Front, Normandy, the Pacific Theatre and others. Each boxed ATS release is a complete game. There is nothing more to buy to immediately begin enjoying tactical-level wargaming like never before. To keep your investment fresh and exciting a Gamers Guide and new expansion packs are coming for AGAINST ALL ODDS.
AGAINST ALL ODDSTM delivers breathtaking action and suspense at the scale and detail true tactical-level enthusiasts demand—individual squads, weapons and tanks. All the subtle nuances of tactical-level combat are provided by the system: gun duels; separate pivoting turrets; AFV indirect fire; coaxial machine-guns; melee; smoke; armor penetration, morale; AFV overruns; and more. And it is all accomplished using a detailed and intuitive system that models tanks using discrete armor values at turret, superstructure, lower hull and track aspects and front, side and rear facings and allows for the realistic use of High Explosive, Armor Piercing, APDS and HEAT ammunition. All this without the need for side notes or plotting moves and in a SOLITAIRE-friendly presentation.
