NOTES:

NOTE 1 : Gaining Sectors: ...a sector may only be gained by launching an attack... 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.

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.

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.
