New Rapid Fire – The Road to Carentan Supplement

We are delighted to announce the availability of the New Rapid Fire – The Road to Carentan Supplement. Written by the well-known Colin Rumford and Richard Marsh.

Small Scale Skirmishes: The Screaming Eagles in Normandy

Immerse yourself in the intense action of World War II with this 36-page, fully illustrated A5 booklet. Four thrilling
scenarios put you in the boots of the American 101st Airborne Division (The Screaming Eagles) as they fight to capture key locations from D-Day to the early stages of the battles for Carentan.

Inspired by renowned YouTube historian Paul Woodadge’s WW2TV shows, these four scenarios transport you to the pivotal moments of Operation Overlord.

Relive the action-packed days:

  1. Angoville-au-Plain (D-Day): Drop into the heart of Normandy and experience the chaos and intensity of D-Day.
  2. Vierville (D-Day+1): The battle rages on as US paratroopers clash with German forces in this small-scale but intense
    fight.
  3. Saint-Come-du-Mont (D-Day+1): Face off against the 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment, known as the “Lions of Carentan,” in a desperate bid for control.
  4. Purple Heart Lane Breakout (D-Day +4): Join the breakout from the Allied beachhead and fight your way through German lines.

This booklet offers a departure from our usual large-scale scenarios, focusing on small unit actions that highlight the bravery and ingenuity of US paratroopers as they take on their German counterparts. Designed for 6′ x 4′ or 5′ x 4′ tables using our Reloaded rules (or RF2 if preferred).

Each scenario includes:

  • Historical background to set the context
  • Full graphic ordnance charts to show troop composition and organization
  • Detailed battle maps to visualize the terrain
  • Special rules to add an extra layer of realism
  • A comprehensive guide on what troops you’ll need to play the scenarios
