This campaign book focuses on some of the most significant clashes fought in Normandy in the summer of 1944, as British, Canadian, Polish, and other Allied forces engaged in desperate battles against a dedicated and determined German opposition. In addition to summarizing the history, this book also describes a series of scenarios inspired by the engagements in the Normandy campaign and the special rules required to play them.
This book tells the story of the British and Canadian contribution to this monumental task and the stoic German resistance they faced. It guides Bolt Action players from the final stages of D-Day, starting with the fierce fighting in the coastal towns off the beaches at Gold, Juno, and Sword, through the violent clashes around the strategically vital city of Caen, and to the march towards Germany itself.
The book also includes new special characters, including the VC-winning medic corporal Frederick Topham, who risked life and limb to save wounded men, and the fanatical Kurt 'Panzer' Meyer, who earned his Iron Cross by leading the Leibstandarte Division's reconnaissance battalion in Russia. These special characters are the perfect opportunity to further theme your force and create fantastic conversion possibilities.
