10 scenarios on light cardstock
The third and final of Lone Canuck’s Canadians in Italy series, D-Day Dodgers (CiI3) provides a Canadian’s dozen (Canadian dozens only have 10) worth of Italian front scenarios, printed on a more flimsy cardstock than previous Lone Canuck offerings. As in previous packs, the Canadians are always represented by elite 4-5-8 squads.
There is more of a mix in scenario sizes in CiI3 than one often sees in George Kelln scenario packs, with 2 small scenarios, 4 medium-sized scenarios, and 4 large scenarios. As is typical with Lone Canuck packs, CiI3 is OBA heavy; there are five scenarios with OBA.
One of the more interesting scenarios in CiI3 is CiI3-23 (Notable Achievement), in which a tiny force of Fallschirmjägers, supported by two Marders, must withstand an assault by 8 Canadian squads supported by two Shermans (although the Canadians should probably get the balance). The most played scenario so far is CiI3-30 (Mighty Maroon Machine).
I’d love an AAR or any other info on scenario #28, Steeple Chasing.” I have trouble w/ the Canadian set up. Why are the AT guns required to set up in such a restricted area? How has the game play worked out? Thanks in advance
