Scenarios on U Boat Infantry?

[Gunner Scott]

Howdy-

was watching Mark Feltons little utub documentary:

And was wondering what is out there on these actions.

ToT#2 was full of scenarios featuring the Kriegsmarine formations.

Ya I do recall ToT 2 (great scenario pack) but there seems to be alot more, and after watching Marks vid, I now understand why the Germans were so fanatical about not giving up their last port.

Yeah. The TOT scenarios only covered the battles described in “No Triumphant Procession”. There were other battles in northern Germany, around Bremen, and Bremerhaven, that involved the Kriegsmarine units. I think I have a couple of books down in my library that might cover those battles.
As far as scenarios, I think there’s been one or two official scenarios that have Kriegsmarine units in the OB.(?)

Scott, I actually met and talked to one of the U-boat sailors who fought in the ToT#2. He was a -patient for a couple of weeks on the floor I was working on.

He was in training to.go to sea in a U-boat when his training unit got orders to become infantry. He .was 16 when this happened and it really was interesting getting to know him. He had stories about the officers mentioned in the scenario write ups. He also had me bring in the boards he could see how the actions were represented. He was able to show me where he was during the action.

it was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever gotten out of playing ASL

Always good to get the perspective of a person WHO WAS THERE!

I have one in our soon to be released Schwerpunkt Volume #24. It is SP288 Commanding from the Bridge. It features 5-3-7s portraying the German naval units. Author John Russell published a book entitled Theirs the Strife (2020) in which he presents a lot of new and updated information that was originally in his book, No Triumphant Procession (1994). His 1994 book was the main source of information for the TOT #2 scenarios. The updated information in this new book along with the new 5-3-7 squads makes the TOT scenarios somewhat out of date now.

Anything you do Evan I will buy. Looking forward to playing that scenario.

There is a book, not a cheap one, about the unit refers to, the 1st naval anti tank regiment.

Kreigsmarine and Naval Infantry as well as some Luftwaffe ground units are featured in the Texel pack that the KC ASL club prod a few years ago.

“Theirs The Strife” is an excellent book for those interested in the final days of the war on the Western Front, as well as being an outstanding updated version of “No Triumphant Procession”.

FWIW. am in the process of 'updating' and adding to the ToT#2 scenarios (along with other KE material, that we turned over to MMP back in 2020), for eventual re-release, also taking into account the additional research since 1996, as well as the release of 'Theirs the Strife', not to mention the 'state of the art' in ASL today (much of which I am glad to see we foreshadowed). Some PT of this will be forthcoming soon.
