One game I am enjoying a great deal is Too Fat Lardies' Chain of Command, a platoon+ tabletop miniature game geared towards simulating small actions in the 1930s and 40s. It has been adapted and expanded to operate well in other time periods. One really nice aspect to the game and the company is the willingness to accept, even encourage, fan and enthusiasts' efforts.
While reading through source material and histories, I found Operation Slapstick, a brief operation at a turning point in the war. It was small enough to be researched, mapped, and turned into a series of scenarios. It easily could be made into a short campaign, with the defending side trying to delay the attacker as long as possible, but that was not our intent.
This project is not an effort at an exacting historical recreation, nor does it contain specific force breakdowns or lists. I adapted and adjusted, approximated, and took some artistic license. I attempted to make the series fun and reasonably balanced.
Please follow the link below for a .pdf of a series of scenarios based on Operation Slapstick, a British Airborne operation in S. Italy, September 1943.
Let me know what you think! Suggestions and corrections appreciated.
