List of Paratroop Landing and Glider Landing scenarios?

[dlazov]

Looking to find all the official (Avalon Hill & MMP) Paratroop and Glider Landing scenarios.

I was trying to use ASL Scenario Archive but could not find a way to search explicitly for them.

It would also be neat to see all the 3rd Party ones.

Any ideas on this?

I can help some on the TPP side:
{HOB}
OM-1 Morning's Peril (Glider)
OM-2 Glide Path to Hell (Glider)
OM-3 Hill 107 (Glider)
OM-4 The Umbrella Men (Para)
AoC-10 Glide Path to Invasion (Glider)

Don't forget the 'big' one.....OM-G!

Search for "glider site:aslscenarioarchive.com" & "paradrop site:aslscenarioarchive.com" using google. This will also turn up things that have "glider" & "paradrop" in the overview and aftermath, but it won't produce that many false positives.

I think Carl Nogueira ran a paratroop and glider VASL mini tournament recently.

I bet he has the whole hog of those scenarios somewhere.

U9 A Belated Christmas is my favorite, though the gliders don't land troops, they land and become the VC hexes. It's kindof ASL football.

Always wanted to play this one!

Always wanted to play this one!

I've played it twice, the first time with my best friend when we were learning (A)SL. The second time was with Pete Shelling at my second ASLOK, because he'd always wanted to play it (professional interest). That was one of the highlights of my ASL career. I lost, pretty badly, but he demonstrated to me a key lesson I've never forgotten and used to my advantage often since: Range. It sometimes matters (much) more than firepower. In the right terrain, German 4-6-7s can keep the engagement at 5-6 hexes and make American 7-4-7s look like fools.

For my money, GI's Dozen is worth more than all its successors combined. Dunno who Pat Ryan is, but he did a nice job with that pack (he did have choice of scenarios, admittedly). And as much as I dislike grudge rules generally, his on BAZs, I like (PSKs need it less because PFs).

PS: It's been years, my VASL calendar is fluid these days, no two playings are the same, we've never played and I'd like to, so...if you really want a crack at it, PM me and I'd love to make it happen.

The first three Annual scenarios: A1 Tavronitis Bridge, A2 Bofors Bashing and A3 Descent into Hell all qualify here. I have played all three, not terribly balanced but I really enjoyed them.

Operation Rosselsprung, Heat of Battle. It has caves, so it must be good.

On the search I gave before, I thought the abbreviations in aslscnearioarchive were standardized. Apparently that's not so.

thats right. big OB: paras, gliders, ss men, caves, Tito. long time ago but I remember a particularly bloody affair exacerbated by disastrous landings. fun though

There is also an Operation Rosselsprung series from DFTB, my opponent and I enjoyed it immensely.

My buddy & I had a great time with DB093 Thunder From Heaven. As with any air drop scenario it can get to be a little weird with landings all over the place. The neat thing about this one it includes both an air drop (American) and an air landing (British) vs the Germans in '45. Balanced? Who knows, but a ton of fun.

Scenario 36 Rachi Ridge from WoA is a German paradrop scenario. Have fun dealing with the British SAN of 7 and booby traps...

 

[Craig Benn]

Japanese paradrops in Blood and Jungle: BFP39 Langoan airfield and BFP57 Last Drop. A95 airborne samaurai is the same action in the Dutch East Indies as BFP39.

What is OM-G?

I have Kreta: Operation Merkur and have played several of the scenarios - all great fun.
