Operation Haggard
July 5th & 6th 2008
at Ground Zero Airsoft

SCENARIO

France, August 1944: In the two months since D-Day, the Allies have finally broken out of Normandy and secured the Cherbourg peninsular. American forces are heading south to capture the port of La Rochelle and its U-Boat pens, but meeting stiff resistance from the combined forces of the German Wehrmacht. In Britain, Churchill authorises the continuation of SAS raids behind enemy lines, in the shape of Operation Haggard. Their mission: to infiltrate the Loire Valley at night by parachute, meeting up with local resistance fighters, to sabotage enemy installations, to disrupt enemy transport and supply routes, and to tie up as many enemy forces as possible, thus weakening the front line facing the Americans.

GZ is a large site with mixed terrain - hills, gullies, wooded areas, and lots of foliage offering good cover. It is interlinked with wide tracks, so well-suited to vehicles such as jeeps and m/cycle combos. If you are intending to bring a vehicle to be used in the game, please PM the details to Steiner.

Full game rules, details and info to follow.
