Description

[Edit] [History]

Combat Commander: Battle Pack #1 – Paratroopers is the first of what will be many themed collections of scenarios for use with the Combat Commander: Europe series of games. The theme of this first Battle Pack is focused on the exploits of American, German and even Russian Airborne forces. CC–Paratroopers features eleven new scenarios printed on cardstock, as well as four new maps. Future Battle Packs will be similarly structured and may also include new counters or new cards – with themes such as “Stalingrad”, “Partisans” and “Desert Rats” to name just a few.

The scenarios included in CC–Paratroopers are:

  • “Fields of Fire” and “Fields of Blood” set at Lanzerath, Germany, 16 December 1944 – both the morning and the afternoon attacks (using a new map #25);
  • “Turnbull Turns ‘em” at Neuville-au-Plain, France, 6 June 1944 (using a new map #26);
  • “Carentan Causeway” at Carentan, France, 10 June 1944 (using a new map #27);
  • “No Ingouf Around” at Carentan, France, 11 June 1944 (using a new map #28);
  • “Operation Repulse” at Bastogne, Belgium, 27 December 1944;
  • “Red Skies at Night” at Veliki Bukrin Bridgehead, Russia, 25 September 1943;
  • “Blizzard Baptism” at Flamierge, Belgium, 4 January 1945;
  • “Look Mom, No Tanks!” near Trois Ponts, Belgium, 24 December 1944;
  • “We Go!” at St. Mere Eglise, France, 6 June 1944;
  • “Encircled at Hill 30” at Caponnet, France, 8 June 1944.

NOTE: CC–Paratroopers is not a complete game and requires ownership of Combat Commander: Europe to play.

Scenario designs in this first Pack are courtesy of Will Green, John Holme, Gregory L. Wong, Bryan Collars, Ric Van Dyke, Tray Green and Dan Holte.
