Special Rules
  • There is no command phase in this scenario. Each side rolls one die to determine the initiative in the following rounds. If there is a tie, roll the die again.
  • The entrenchment token is only used to identify gun pitches for the 4 leFH18 on the map and don't provide any additional cover.
  • If at the end of any round the Americans control an objective point it can be removed from the map (this represents the destruction of the leFH18 Howitzer).

Here you can see a couple of nice maps I've found online.

The second one is particularly interesting, showing the adaptation of the original map to the satellite one.

A few days ago Pino and I tried scenario #217.
We weren't happy with it at all so we thought we'd revision it.
As ideas or adjustments for the scenario arose, Pino thought of making a "personal" one starting from scratch.
In conclusion we can consider it as a separate scenario dealing with the same topic, similar to the 3 different scenarios related to "Pegasus Bridges".

Quickly comparing this to #217 The Assault at Brécourt Manor, the maps are distinctly different and I also note differences in the starting units and Operations Cards, while there are some similarities (for example, the introductory text). The authors are different as well, with this version from Pino.

Am I correct in concluding #338 is a refinement/evolution of #217?
