Preparation for WW2 floor wargame part 2 - maps and rules

It has taken a surprising amount of time to complete the setup of the gaming area and troops. In anticipation of writing a battle report with supporting photographs I decided to draw up a map of the gaming area. The drawing is time consuming, but is very useful for me in explaining the action (without too many words) when I post them. So here is the map with reserve forces, drop zones and other information.

Map and unit information

Units will be arriving in the following order:

• Allied Airborne on turn 1
• Allied Wave 1 on turn 1
• Allied Wave 2 on turn 3
• Allied Wave 3 on turn 5
• German reserves on turn 6

I will be using the same rules as I used for my last WW2 campaign (explained here). They are based upon One Hour Wargaming WW2 rules, but use card activation and allow for armoured infantry amongst other unit types. One change to these rules relates to unactivated units when shot at. They have the choice of sacrificing their activation in order to take evasive action, which means getting the shooting unit to roll 2D6 and selecting the lower score.

Additional rules specific for this game:

1. Each unit arriving in a wave must dice to see which of the landing areas they arrive. If the landing area is already in use, or has been destroyed, there is a hold up and they will circle around and make another attempt next turn.
2. Pillboxes and Gun Emplacements are treated as immobile armoured units. Pillboxes shoot as infantry and Gun Emplacements as tanks.
3. The Gun Emplacement can opt to shoot at the supporting ships and landing craft. On a 5 or 6 one landing area is destroyed.
4. Paratroopers use a scatter dice to determine landing for each individual unit. If a miss is rolled the unit scatters 12". The second unit uses the scatter dice from the previous landed unit, and so on. Any unit landing off the gaming area are eliminated. 
5. German reserves arriving on turn 6 (or later) may only do so with a red (hearts or diamonds) activation card.

In finalising the playing area you will notice I have added a few woods.

Gaming area all set.

The Allied plan is this:

1. Secure the beach area and destroy the gun emplacement
2. Contain enemy forces in the town
3. Secure the hill on left flank before moving to take bridge
4. Paratroopers are to capture bridge and delay German re-enforcements which are known to be in the area.
5. Take town once the bridge area is secured and in Allied control.

Allied plans

I have set aside all of today, Saturday, to finish this game and supplies are an important factor...
