Operation Compass Scenario

4/18/2023

8 Comments

 
If you've watched our latest wargame on Little Wars TV, you saw TWO scenarios unfold simultaneously. Operation Compass spanned a period of two months, across hundreds of miles of desert. Ed developed two scenarios to represent the climax of the operation at the Derna Airfield and Fort Mechili. These engagements were separated by about 50 miles of desert, leaving no option for mutual support.

Today on the Free Stuff page, Ed is pleased offer you all the details required for both scenarios, which you can play independently of each other. Each engagement includes 4 PDF files with briefings and OOBs for the opposing sides. The OOBs are structured for Fistful of TOWS 3, a game we've previously reviewed on the channel four years ago. With some tweaking, you could certainly port Ed's orders of battle to a different rule set of your preference!

Great games and thank you for providing the Orders of Battle and the player briefings. Any chance of showing us the Frank Chadwick inspired Chance Cards and the mechanics of using them in the game?
I'm a big fan of FFoT3 and have used the rules to fight several Cold War scenarios in 6mm. Next up an Iraq-Iran war game pitting Iranian Chieftains versus Iraqi T-62s and AMX-30s!
Thanks
Cliff

I've always enjoyed gaming WWII North Africa, even in my FoW days when v2 was the better set of that game, NA was the go to front between myself and another gamer. Eventually got into CD: Test of Battle with another fellow and he was into NA as well...1940-41, then back into 6mm with SH and FFT3. Awesome stuff LWTV! Let's see more 6mm WWII shall we :D

Really liked both of these scenarios. Would like to see the other ones that were planned.
Looking at the scenarios here online under the free stuff I do not see either map for the two game. Is there a way that could be posted, shown or sent? Thank you in advance.
