It Never Snows (2012)

It Never Snows is an SCS (Standard Combat Series) game covering Market Garden (Arnhem) during World War II. The Allies are attempting to seize bridges across the Rhine and Meuss Rivers. The game will span 5 maps and 840 counters to be the largest SCS game published to date.

The Standard Combat System is a "simple but not simplistic" game system. There are rules for fog of war, supply, artillery barrage, and air power. All of this in a very easy to play, quick playing system.

It Never Snows will be the monster game of this series. As such, it will be one of the simplest monster games available.

Scenarios:

1. Campaign. All five maps, all 17 turns. The full meal with players selecting their own landing sites.
2. Historical Drop Zones Campaign. Almost the same as the above, only with the actual drop sites listed so that players can see the real thing and not have to do that planning themselves.
3. Sept 18: Foothold. Here the initial drops have already happened and the battle is underway. By passing on the first turn air drops, this is a much quicker version of the campaign.
4. Sept 20: High Water Mark. This 12 turn game places the player in the shoes of the Allies at the very moment the success (or failure) of the campaign is determined.
5. The Witches Cauldron. A small map area scenario covering the defense of Oosterbeek.
6. Hold Until Relieved. The battle for Arnhem in a small map area and only 6 turns.
7. Hail Mary, Full of Grace. A small area, 6 turn scenario covering the 82 Abn Division’s crossing of the Waal river and the effort of the Gds Armored Division to link up with them through Nijmegen.
8. Hell’s Highway. A small map area, 8 turn game covering the German attempts to cut the XXX Corps supply line.
