King Red - British with toys take a beach in France!

King Red

Nice product showing what happened on the far left of Gold Beach

Not sure why but this and Operation Deadstick are in the same packet – can’t seem to buy them separately

Not a slow intro by scenarios covering small engagements – all three are just big bash affairs with toys



Firstly Cheers to Mr Robert Martin for bring to life something Fantastic in design

Thanks for the designers note – gives it a nice feel


P1 to P6 of rules include:

Tables of obstacles, Water craft, Gin listing, and terrain

Favourite rules –

AVRE Bobbin – mats laid so tanks can run over mud easier

Just clarity on how the bridge layer and crabs were used to lay across thing

Usual Beach stuff that is written again from the Omaha stuff but more directed here


Scenarios cover King Beach assault landing and assault on La Riviere

Scen 1 (a and b) covers lots of toys landing on a beach and beating up germans – if you have not played some Omaha here I could see the defender not using the tirck you learn from the Omaha product so be careful

Scen 2 (a and b) as well covers the beach and beating up Germans – picture of Wn33

Scen 3 is passing of C Company through the secured beachhead further inland – more brit toys


Counter Sheets (look after both products)

So – lots of German inf and their SWs

Lots of Brit Inf and their SWs

Then the counter sheet that has enough def German pieces and English Toys to play the game

Cheers

Rob

How big are the scenarios? Is there only three of them?

Hi Honza

1a and b have initial setup of 12 German MMC (mostly crews) and bunkers and guns on beach + 6 more conscripts vs a 18 MMCs, 12 tanks in boats land and then followed by even more Sqds and Tanks - so yes its big
2a and 2b and 3 - same big scenarios (3 the smallest)

and yes only 3....
