High Ground
HIGH GROUND! is a set of eight hot new scenarios based on two new geomorphic map boards. The boards are incredibly unique in that, when put together side-by-side, they form one large hill. Three sides of these two boards remain geomorphic so that they can be matched to make an incredible combination of new battlefields! The hill itself is four levels high and up to fifteen hexes wide!
In addition to the dominating HIGH GROUND on each board you will also find a
sprawling village, shell-shattered roads, forested roads and realistic grain
fields.
Here is just a sample of what you will experience:
- February, 1944: The Germans attempt a desperate escape from the Cherkassy
Pocket, while Russian heavy tanks try to break into the mountainside pass. Can
the rear guard of Austrian artillery men hold the crimson tide while hundreds of
desperate Germans escape westwards?
- June, 1940: Elite Italian Alpine troops crash into the heavily fortified
eastern defenses of the French border. Once again, the French and Italians find
themselves at each other's throats!
- January, 1943: Japanese defenders on Guadalcanal are trapped in a valley of
jungle and pillboxes. The US Army moves in to eliminate all resistance.
There will be no prisoners!
- November, 1940: The Italian attack into Greece has failed. Desperation
builds when the Greeks launch a counterattack forcing the Italians to retreat
back across the river, under direct fire!
- April 6th, 1941: German Engineers from the 5th Mountain Division await the
conclusion of the artillery barrage on the heavy Greek fortifications. Will the
thunder of so many shells crush the defenders or just provide a smoke screen for
the Engineers to move within grenade range?
- July 9th, 1943: The battle of Kursk enters its zenith. The Germans lunge at
the Russians with their heaviest armor, six Ferdinands lumbering towards Hill
235.5. In their tracks follow the exhausted Grenadiers. Terrified defenders and
land mines wait in the tall grain...
