NUTS! Two Hour D-Day – The Town
This is the second report of a Co-op NUTS! WW2 game in which each player commanded one squad or section of 3rd Platoon, Dog Company, hitting the beach during the Invasion of Normandy, June 6 1944. While the basic coastal terrain and the town was mapped out and placed on the table, the players had no idea beach defenses they’d run into until they landed on the beach (using the Amphibious Landing rules from the NUTS! Compendium).

First part – The Beach: https://sbminisguy.wordpress.com/2018/08/14/two-hour-d-day-the-beach/

And: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=111359.0

The area they would be landing in was loosely based on Utah Beach, with the beach rising to sandy slopes, behind which was a low laying swampy area and then a small town. The player’s objectives were to clear the beach defenses, then attack across the swampy area and causeway and try to take the town, which had x3 Potential Enemy Forces (PEFs) to clear.

After being dropped on the beach the platoon came under heavy fire from an MG bunker and a German squad in trenches. While 1st Squad bogged down in front of the bunker, 2nd and 3rd Squad took out the trench line, and then the Engineering section destroyed the bunker with a flamethrower.

Having cleared the beach defenses and captured the surviving defenders,  the platoon pushed forward to try and take the small village of Ville Cotiere.

Excellent Part II.
I may have to try out NUTS.
I have their Zombie rules.
Should be easy to pick up what is different between
the two rules.
