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 Corridor—LION 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 Montgomery’s 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 Hitler’s 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 Corridor’—and 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 Hitler’s 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.

Scottisih Corridor—LION RAMPANTTM 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.
