Warfighter WWII

For four days in November 1943, roughly 2600 sailors drawn from the Imperial Japanese Navy's Special Naval Landing Forces fought tooth and nail to prevent the United States Marine Corps from establishing a hold in the central Pacific. Outnumbered more than five to one, and with nowhere to run, the SNLF fought, nearly to the last man. Of the 2600 Naval Infantry sailors there, only 17 left the island alive, and all as prisoners of war. The Americans were destined to win-they had the numbers, the naval advantage, and the air advantage, and despite the heavy fortifications of the Japanese defenders, the outcome was never really in doubt. Take command of IJN SNLF Sailors, and do your best to honor the Emperor as you fight to the last man. If you can't stop the American advance, you can at least make them pay in blood for every inch of Tarawa. This Battlepack is a Holding Action-centric pack that pits the disciplined fanaticism of IJN SNLF against the military might of the United States Marine Corps.

The battle for Iwo Jima was one of the most difficult and hard-fought in the Pacific campaign, from February to March 1945. The Japanese defenders were dug into well-entrenched underground bunkers and natural cave systems on the island, and even though the Americans had numerical, logistical and aerial supremacy, a high price was paid for the hard-won victory. In the iconic photo of the six Marines raising a flag over Mount Suribachi, three were killed in action days after, testament to the ferocity of the fighting. Warfighter WWII Expansion - #53 Iwo Jima presents new subterranean locations with close-quarter impediments (such as locked doors and booby traps), along with new soldiers and skills focussed on built-up area combat, reflecting the indomitable fortitude of the US Marines over the five-week campaign as they rooted out the enemy from tunnels and holes. This set adds 56 cards to your Warfighter WWII Missions! This is a Soldier pack with new Hostiles, Soldiers, Locations, Missions, Objectives, Weapons, Equipment, and Skills.

Even in the darkest days following the fall of France to the German blitzkrieg in May 1940, not all was lost: from the populace arose the Resistance fighters called the Maquis. Whether baker, banker, teacher or housewife, these brave civilian men and women showed that resistance was not futile, rallying under the flag with the Croix de Lorraine. With less training and equipment than regular forces, and scrounging whatever they could, the Maquis carried out a shadow war on many fronts: printing and distributing underground propaganda, sabotaging enemy networks, aiding Allied pilots who had crashed behind enemy lines, and sending valuable intelligence to the British, risking their lives and retaliation, until France was finally liberated in December 1944. Warfighter WWII: Expansion - #46 Maquis features Resistance fighters with missions and skills which reflect their methods of guerilla warfighting, with scrounged-up weapons and gear, stealthy movement, and unconventional objectives. This set adds 56 cards to your Warfighter WWII Europe Missions! This is a Soldier pack with new Soldiers, Missions, Objectives, Weapons, Equipment, Skills, and Service Records.

On December 7, 1939, the Soviet 163rd Rifle Division attacked and captured the town of Suomussalmi, Eastern Finland. The objective was to cut Finland in half in the middle, cutting off supply routes from Sweden and Norway and splitting the defence into several separate regions without mutual support. The Soviet battleplan called for the 9th Army to swiftly advance along the northern roads from Suomussalmi to Oulu in a Blitzkriegish fashion. The Mechanized divisions swiping the few defenders with ease and reaching Oulu in a couple of weeks. However, attacking with Mechanized Divisions along a 6m wide snow fringed dirt road, in the Arctic Winter, had its hazards. The 163rd Division and the reinforcing 44th Division soon found themselves surrounded and divided into small encirclements, "Motti"'s. The Battle of Raate Road had begun.

As World War II rages on, the battle continues above and under the seas. When a damaged U-Boat is forced to surface and set to scuttle, Royal Marines boarding parties have to race against time and obstacles to secure the vessel and seize the precious Enigma cipher machine and radio code-books, before the stricken vessel sinks beneath the waves! This expansion pays tribute to, and features, Royal Marines of the Commando Brigade with raiding missions and incursion skills, reflecting the high-intensity, close-quarters warfighting aboard a sinking ship.

In the early hours of the 19th of August 1942, a large amphibious force consisting of 237 Ships and Landing craft carried 5000 Canadian Soldiers, 1000 British Commandos, 50 U.S. Rangers - on their first raid of WW2, and 50 of the latest Tanks available to the British forces moved with deadly intent towards the enemy occupied coast of France. Seventy nine Squadrons of Fighters and Medium Bombers flew overhead in support of the Raiders. Shortly before 5am, the Allied forces charged ashore onto the 6 beaches on and surrounding the Fishing Port in the Town of Dieppe. Alert and waiting for the Allied forces stood the men of the German 302nd Static Infantry Division. The ensuing 6 hours of Battle saw the Allied forces fight with Bravery in the face of determined German defenders. At the end of the day, over 4000 Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen were dead or wounded. From the Canadians alone, 1946 Soldiers were marched into captivity, their Bravery and Courage was established on that fateful morning and the lessons learnt from this Disaster gave the Allied planners the necessary knowledge and tactics which would lead to successful invasion in Normandy in June 1944 two years later. For those player who are history buffs and wargamers you have all the necessary components to script out the desperate actions that occured between the 2nd Canadian Division, the Commandos and the 302nd Static Division of the occupying German forces on the beaches on or near the fishing port of Dieppe in France in the early hours of the 19th of August 1942.
