Mission Command: Normandy, An Introduction

The date is some time during the summer of 1944 in Normandy. You are the commander of a British motorised battalion, part of an armoured division closing up to a German defensive position to the south. The armoured division is the spearhead of an Allied offensive that intends to open the way towards Paris. Reconnaissance has found a major German position some 3 miles (5 kilometres) ahead. There are some German outposts in advance of their main position, one of which is in a small village to your immediate front. It is now 2 hours before dusk, and your division commander has given you the task of clearing the German outpost from the village.

This scenario is an introduction to the Mission Command: Normandy WW2 miniatures wargame. It’s an umpired game for 1 to 4 players and should take 2 to 3 hours. You will play the British, and the umpire will run the Germans.
