Haut Fornel , Normandy,
France, 6 June 1944: The afternoon
of D-Day wore on with numerous disjointed actions in the Normandy
countryside for the Screaming Eagles. Preceding the main body
of C Company was a point of twenty-three men under Lieutenant
Morton J. Smit. As the point approached the village of Haut Fornel,
a truck suddenly pulled up and twenty Germans leaped out. Smit
unloaded on them, dropping ten, and scattering the remainder.
Meanwhile, the main force of Company C under Captain Hancock heard
the firing and moved forward to investigate. Just then Hancock
saw a German battery—two 88s on halftracks—enter the
village and halt just to his front. Hancock split his force into
two groups, seventeen men on a wide sweep to the left and another
seventeen under Lieutenant Jack Borchard, to come up from the
right. Action intensified quickly, as another gun-towing truck
was seen and a German platoon entered the village on foot. Private
William Kelly managed to disable one of the 88s with a Bazooka
round (the other disappeared). Enemy mortar and machine-gun fire
took its toll and halted the American attack. The Germans tried
to push forward but were stopped by accurate machine-gun and mortar
fire from an 81mm mortar commanded by Lieutenant Rance Cotton
of 1st Battalion’s HQ Company. The tables turned, most of
the German soldiers turned and fled. Hancock and Cotton then went
forward and rounded up thirteen prisoners.
We heard what you wanted and here it
is AND then some. The DELUXE experience
for ATSers is here with the largest hex size EVER for the system.
With the entire line getting the love it needs (read: the retro
graphics that make you feel like 15 years old all over again,
color-touched scenarios, the counter art you crave) there is exactly
zero reasons NOT to do fun and unique things with the resulting
games, maps, and more. To that end, we bring you ATS Band of
DELUXE Brothers, which brings you 8 Drop Zone Normandy scenarios
in a new printing to play on the LARGEST-hexed map in the history
of the system > that means a 2.25" hex that is LARGER
than the former DELUXE hexes were .... a true no-stacking experience,
plus terrain art you will love. PLUS, all the combat counters
you need to play!
NOTE: THIS IS A VERY LIMITED PRINT RUN and as long as you see the page you can reserve
your copy. This module ships in 1-3 weeks. You will need to own
