A successful defence leaves both sectors in the control of the original side. ...to represent the ability of the Germans to win local battles, but lose ground ... when defending, a German Player must win 5-2 or better in order to retain a sector. If they win 4-3, the Germans still lose the sector, driven back by the superior Allied numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMoon17 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't remember which battle we played, but SchneiderKarl and I finished our game 5-2 German victory. No warriors were used, and it was an empty space for the British defense so no firestorm units were killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rflamoe Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 hello, River here, I agree that the allies would have captured the sector. looks like the germans will need some victories soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflamoe Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 quick question regarding the units in the campaign. When it says (for example) german, 709th inf div, rifle, CT. does it mean that I have to field a 709th Div or is that my additional troops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 you can build any 1250 point force from the Normandy books. It looks better if you build units that were actually in the sector you are fighting. the named units are the firestorm unit that are allocated to the battle and are extra units to use.

ZeroMoon17 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 River, take a look at the firestorm rules here: http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/Documents/Firestorm/Overlord/FSO-Tournament-LowRes.pdf. Starting on page 19 it gives a detailed list of which firestorm units you'll recieve in game. Other than that just bring a 1250pt list from Atlantik Wall, and then you add in the firestorm units from the PDF. Ex. The 709th firestorm unit contains a platoon with a Cmd panzerfaust smg team, and 6x rifle/MG teams. So you add that force to your 1250 pt list for that battle.

rflamoe Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 awesome, that answers my question. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflamoe Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 just making sure I understand the rules, I would bring a company (ex. fallschirmjager company) and then I would add another platoon/unit depending on the mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMoon17 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yup that's right. You bring whichever company you want to at 1250 pts, and then you get the firestorm platoon for free on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Battles left: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 I added the details of the available Firestorm unit reinforcements for these battles. You can have up to 2 FS units (platoons), if they are eligible for that battle. Scattered Defenders are addressed on pp. 7, 9 and 17 of the Firestorm Overlord rules PDF.
