SCOTTISH CORRIDOR - the ATS system drops
you into the heart of the heroic struggle by British forces to
hold open the key salient on the road to Caen during the Battle
of Normandy 1944
Our Goal: The Battle of Normandy
in hyper-detail, including other British battlefields (yes, a
'Hill 112' expansion is coming for owners of SCOTTISH CORRIDOR!)
Scottish
CorridorLION RAMPANT is a detailed new ATS system game
that tells the story of the Battle of Epsom. Some histories pass
over this battle as merely the second of Montgomerys failed
attempts to capture the key city of Caen. Increasingly, however,
historians are recognizing the true meaning of the Epsom Offensive.
This was the battle that thwarted Hitlers plans to drive
the invaders back into the sea. Hitler gathered the best of his
remaining Panzer Divisions, hurling them against the three sides
of the Scottish Corridorand breaking them against
the resistance offered by untried but heroic British troops.
The beginning of Epsom caught the Germans off balance.
And kept them off balance until Hitlers counter-offensive
in Normandy was doomed.
Your investment in the Advanced TOBRUK SYSTEMTM (ATS) will be
rewarded as an unprecendented library of new ATS MODULES, each
covering a different World War II battle, is published. The ATS
will be used to depict 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, expansion kits and publications are available
for each release.
