I chipped in to get all 4 of the new campaign books as pdf downloads and also received a free copy of the Platoon Leader book which include a platoon campaign tracking system.
The four campaign books cover the war in NW Europe, the Eastern Front, North Africa and the Far East. Each is packed with Scenarios and between them they cover the whole war from 1939 to 1945.
For my first campaign I've decided to start in Dec 1940 with Operation Compass the British push to eject the Italian forces that had invaded Egypt earlier in the year.
Second Lieutenant Wilfred 'Kip' Chaplin, my Star Player, is the son of a Hampshire Game keeper who has been supported through Sandhurst by his fathers employer. A Marksman who always carries an Enfield Rifle as well as his service revolver when in action.
He must lead his platoon into action as the first British offensive of the desert war begins.
The Paperwork is done and forces are mustered
For his first mission Kip has been tasked by his Company Commander to take a section of his men and recon over the wadi that parallels the British march line.
The buildings and small Palm Oasis must be checked for any Italian Troops that may be lurking to avoid the main British front line advance from Mersa Matruh towards Sidi Baran.
The scene is set for our first mission. I'll report back soon.
