Cassino – Final Combat Day Sunday 18/3/12

March 13th 2012

No Comments / Add Comment

After weeks of hard battle, bloodshed and over 30 different engagements the fate of Cassino hangs in the balance.

The score stands at 10 – 7 to the Axis, but there are 6 points up for grabs on the last day.

Will the Axis secure a Major Victory against the Allies halting their advance or will the Allies turn it around and land a tactical victory against the Wehrmacht? It all hangs in the balance.

Panzers Schnell

Hitler, sensing victory, orders his Panthers forward

The final battle will be split into 3 theatres. Bring your Ace, his company and anything else you have. We will field as much as reasonably possible!

The Axis and Allies will also have High Commanders that will have access to reserves, bombardments and Aircraft.

Doors open at 10.30. Games begins at 11.15 am

Good luck Captains!

Flames of War – Your Infantry Ace

No Comments / Add Comment

One of the most exciting aspects of the upcoming Cassino campaign is creating your own warrior model called an Infantry Ace. During the campaign, you follow your warrior’s story as he fights his way through the bloody battlefields of Monte Cassino.

Sean Connery in the Longest Day

Your Infantry Ace is a company command team, replacing your regular first in command. He retains the ratings and weapons of the team replaced. He is also a warrior (p78 of the rulebook).

Spiers from Band of Brothers

As your Infantry Ace fights alongside your company he can earn medals which more importantly unlock new abilities.

Cassino – Flames of War Infantry Aces Campaign

January 19th 2012

No Comments / Add Comment

Rome and Italy will remain in Axis hands unless the Monte Cassino is stormed.

Blocking the allied advance are elite German divisions, some hardened on the Eastern Front, some in Africa and others selected from the best of the best to form the elite Fallschirmjager.

Not only are there elite German formations equipped with the Latest Panzer IVs and Panthers blocking the route, there is the Rapido River, The Gustav defensive line and the Hitler defensive line. Both lines are deep and constructed with German precision.

Lastly there is the town of Cassino itself

 

Allied artillery bombardments have taken their toll on the Germans, but have made a a battlefield full of places for an infantryman to hide and spring deadly ambushes on the advancing allies.
