8 Wargame Scenarios. The Battles for Calais and Boulogne
These 8 wargame scenarios feature the battles for the Channel Ports of Calais and Boulogne. When the Germans reached the coast near Abbeville on 20 May¸ it was unclear to the Allies whether they would advance south towards Paris or turn north. With the realisation that they were advancing north came the historical concern for the British of the security of the channel ports. They hastily scraped together the few remaining troops they had in England and dispatched them to Boulogne and Calais. Two scenarios deal with Boulogne¸ including one that includes the whole city and the attack by 2nd Panzer Division on 24 May. The attacks on Calais begin with a probe by 3rd RTR towards Guines¸ and then an effort to run supplies through to Dunkirk¸ followed by four city battles as the perimeter slowly contracts to the old city of Calais. These are tough fights in difficult terrain. These secenarios cover both the city fights¸ but also two tank actions by 3 RTR. These scenarios have detailed maps and organisations for battles and are designed for wargamers who enjoy their history as much as their gaming. All scenarios include the actual map from 1940¸ accurate forces and real battles. These are highly detailed and well researched games. The PDF preview details the scenarios included. Note that these scenarios are drawn from Blitzkrieg in the West Volume II. You can see all products available¸ including Volume II¸ by clicking on the link to MGKMilsims
