Mission Command: Normandy is a set of WW2 miniatures rules (in this case 6mm). It’s an umpired game, and no prior knowledge of the mechanics is required, although a basic appreciation of 1944 tactics might help.
I would like 3 players; you play the Allies, and I run the Germans as the umpire. Each player has their own briefing sheet and their own troops to command. This scenario is roughly battalion to brigade level. Somewhat in kriegsspiel fashion, players will make the decisions, and the umpire will aid in the execution. It focuses on command, control, and communications.
This scenario is based on an action that took place north of Eindhoven in September 1944 between the Western Allies and the Germans during Operation Market Garden. It’s
simplified and streamlined in order to make it playable in 3 hours.
