Scenarios for WW2

[acctingman]

Can anyone recommend any good source for WW2 scenarios? Preferably in the company to battalion level.

Thanks

WWII is a pretty big canvas.  Do you have a particular campaign of interest?  That will help with getting more specific responses.

That said, the 'Skirmish Campaigns' series is pretty good, and is not tied to any particular set of rules, although more focussed at platoon level rather than company or battalion.  https://skirmishcampaigns.com/books/

You can also check out Too Fat Lardies' campaign sets for I Ain't Been Shot, Mum for scenarios based on company-level games:  https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product-category/i-aint-been-shot-mum/

"Forgotten Battles"?
Any of the WW2 Spearhead, Rapid Fire or Crossfire scenario books? (Although these may need 'translating' from one game system to another).
If you can find some of the older Flames of War books, at a reasonable price, many of them were themed around linked scenario's.
Charles Grant wrote some good books with scenarios - some generic, for any period, some specifically in his ww2 books - if you can find some of them they might be useful.

Honestly, anything but Pacific and early war western Europe:)

But, to start anything western Europe D-day and beyond

The Rapid Fire books are excellent. There are also free pdfs on the website. The IABSM campaign books from Vis Lardica and Chris Stoesen are also very good if not as inspiring.

Anschluss Wargames produce an extensive range of scenario books in their "Forgotten Battles" series. Most seem to be later war. Not cheap at £21.50 each but they do each seem to contain 18-20 scenarios. Personally I don't mind paying £1 a scenario if it saves me hours of research and working up maps and ORBATs.  I don't own any but have seem them at shows and the production quality seems good. Also, I don't know if they are "rules agnostic" or written for their "War on the Ground" ruleset.

If you can find a copy, my old book WW2 Battlezones published by TTG has 33 assorted scenarios for battalion level games.

I see one went for $55 on ebay recently, wow, it cost £4 when it came out!

I have some of the Anschluss Wargames scenario books, they are very nicely presented, mainly because they pick less well known actions. They seem to be based on one base is a squad, one vehicle is a vehicle type rules, from single company upwards, and can be reconfigured for other rules sets no problem.
