The box offers up a cool scenario featuring two Shermans, an M10, Tiger and StuG. So, you have a nice array of different options right out of the box. Once again, this offers up a big selection of different options for both American and German players who are looking to replicate that push off the beaches of Normandy towards positions deeper into France. All company commanders take pride in theirunits, but parachute company commanders takethat even further. They expect more from theirmen and in return the officers are willing to giveeverything for the company.

Overall it was an interesting game and something different. It also generated a good amount of interest, which was the main point of it, so mission accomplished!
The Panzer IV is an old design now, but stilla match for any Allied tank with its goodarmour and excellent 7.5cm KwK40 gun.Panzer commanders must utilise cover andconce alment at all times to keep their edge inbattle. Manoeuvre and fire helps them to outwitthe enemy’s best-laid plans. Every year, The Marine Toys for Tots program sets out on a mission to bring the joy of Christmas and send the message of hope to America's less fortunate children. We are proud to once again support this worthy cause. The Hit the Beach mission, no longer features in the list of missions in the V3 book, nor is it featured in either the Earth and Steel book or Turning Tide, which I found a little odd... Next, objective. To find an opponent to play against. If you are in the DFW area of Texas please respond in comments. Perhaps we can meet at Nerdhalla in Hurst, Texas Toy Soldier in Carrollton, or the Rat Palace in Red Oak. Having reached this decision, forces were chosen to theme: Sword Beach, so a Commando force facing a '2nd line' Grenadier force.Paratroopers are all volunteers. The training is harsh and thorough, andthose who pass the rigorous schedule will earn their wingsand become a part of an elite fighting force.training involves masteringbattlefield tactics and close-combat techniques. Eachsoldier is expected to act with initiative and cunning The Hit the Beach Mission, was originally staged in the V2 rules, from the D-Day supplement, and Das Book supplement. Hello Wargamers! As you’ve probably noticed, majority of our projects are related to board games, Star Wars and different kinds of Warhammers and other fantasy games. Today, we would like to treat all history enthusiasts! However we do plan to have another go under the V2 version of the game and army list composition and see what difference that makes... I know I will get a lot less bunkers for one thing ! This demo game took place at the Kapiti Wargames Clubs - "Big day Out". It was a Sunday club game day, to help draw interest to the club, from the general public, and wargamers from the region in general.
Make sure you get your FLGS involved for your chance to win a huge amount of prizes, and the awesome chance to support the United States Marine Corps Reserve! However, the recent switch to the V3 rules, and new lists for the beach defenders from Earth and Steel, has the fortifications pointed in as part of the main force.

Paul battled manfully, but was up against it, not so much from me but from the scenario, the mechanism of landing craft deployment and recycling on and off the beach, meant his forces arrived in dribs and drabs and there was never the "overwhelming force" in evidence. That and the difficulty of getting his tanks off the soft sand, just about made it a none starter for him, despite playing to 12 turns, he never really threatened the Hinterland objective, so would just about find it impossible to get a win. That's where we'd like your help. What do you think needs adjusting in the next round of dynamic points? Which units or types of units are too cheap, and which ones need a reduction?
The M4A1 model, recognisable by its distinctiverounded single-piece cast upper hull, was thefirst Sherman variant to enter combat with theUS armoured forces. Hit The Beach and Fury represent for many the first steps into Late War V4 for many players who aren’t converting their tried and trued forces into V4. Hit The Beach offers new players the chance to really sink their teeth into Flames Of War at exceptionally good value, and gives veteran players a great option of reinforcing their current armies or starting a new one. We didn't have time to restart the scenario, so decided to play on to see what would happen, in case the Allies simply needed more time... but over the next extra couple of turns, the commandos continued to pressure the front objective, but HMG nests kept them at bay and the last three tanks were destroyed by the bunkers and StuGs, as they got off the beach... With no armour left for the Allies there was no real hope and Paul called it.I'm sure that a lot of folks are going to enjoy delving down into this set and enjoying a new avenue into World War II in 15mm. Well the Day of Days finally arrived! After much preparation, I was in a position to put on a Flames of War demo game, using all the Normandy beach invasion material I have been working with over the last few months.
Great Deal
