The Great War: WWI Boardgame – French Army Expansion A new expansion for The Great War game, introducing the French Army, The Battle of Verdun, and brand-new units for the French, British and Germans. Operation Spring Awakening will try to drive the Red Army back over the Danube and secure Germany's remaining oil supply without it, the war will be over. Unable to break through, a larger offensive with the last of the panzer divisions is planned for the spring. To save them and secure the borders of the Reich, the Axis armies launch three relief operations. Budapest is under siege, with its garrison is trapped and fighting a desperate battle. $23.00 USDīattlegroup: Spring Awakening Hungary, 1945: The Red Army invaded and pushed the Axis forces west, driving them beyond the Danube river. It is therefore a perfect complement to the rulebook, a companion that enlarges its horizons by proposing alternatives to the basic Clash of Warlords scenario. It is not a SAGA universe, but a collection of scenarios and game variants that can be applied to any universe in which you decide to play. The work of the Hillside mapmakers increased the accuracy of bombing missions but the technology available at the time still made precision difficult. The targeting of cities helped bring an end to the war however, the moral questions raised at the time are still being debated today.SAGA: Book of Battles Supplement divided into five sections: Skirmishes, Battles, Legends, Mass Battles, and Sagas. The bombing raidsīombing raids on both sides of the war targeted cities and residential areas as well as factories and infrastructure, in the belief that this would weaken public morale and force the enemy to surrender sooner. The maps were then distributed to around 60 RAF airfields, and to the American Airforce. The unit delivered the dossiers under cover of darkness to nearby Bomber Command HQ. Vital intelligence information was placed with the final target maps into sealed dossiers and passed to the Motor Transport Team, based in Hughenden’s stableyard. This made the maps easier to see in the dim amber light inside the aeroplane. The target maps were then printed using only black and magenta ink, with various techniques such as stippling enabling features to appear in white, grey, dull magenta and bright magenta. Only Sergeant Hadfield, in charge of security, lived in the manor with his wife and two children. Many were billeted in nearby High Wycombe and travelled to the manor on bicycles. Recruits often arrived at Hughenden not knowing where they were going, or the job that they would be doing, all part of the efforts to keep Hillside top-secret. Their skills, including a meticulous attention to detail, were essential for the hand drawing work needed in map making. Civilian recruits included people who had been artists, cartoonists, architects and graphic designers. Hillside personnelĪround 100 men and women were based at Hughenden, both RAF and civilian personnel. Hughenden was requisitioned to become the map making operation for Bomber Command. Warfare moved into the skies on an unprecedented scale during the war however only a small proportion of bombs were falling on target due to a lack of accurate maps.
