LIBERTY ROADS is an historical simulation retracing the
campaign of France, from June 6th, 1944, D-Day, to March 1945.
The map
covers the whole theatre of operations, from Brest to the Ruhr, and from
Rotterdam to Toulon. The scale is 1 hexagon for 25 km.
The counters
represent divisions-sized units, of both sides, that took part in the campaign.
The system emphasises the difference between the organisations of both
armies. Allied armies benefit from superior numbers and better logistical
support; the Germans rely on their elite troops and tactical
superiority.
The Standard rules are the core of the game and include all
the campaign specifics. While a lot of attention was given to landing rules. The
system chosen offers the Allied player great flexibility of choice for the
landing beaches, since almost all hexes can be subject to an amphibious assault.
Moreover, landing is not resolved on a single die roll, but is carried out using
original and fun play mechanics.
All the main aspects of the campaign
are considered: * Fortitude
operation, * Airborne operations, *
The French Resistance, * German
Festung, * Patton / Montgomery
rivalry, * Kampfgruppen formation, *
And many more …
Also, the German Player must take into account Hitler's
Operational meddling, influencing the resources at his disposal.
Allied
logistics are simulated through historical rules: PLUTO (pipelines under the
sea) and RED BALL (emergency system). It also of course depends on the control
of the major or minor ports: capture and activation of the French, Belgian or
Netherlands major ports constitute a decisive challenge for the allied
player.
Liberty Roads contains 4 scenarios of various
lengths: * Cobra (4 turns), an initiation scenario to
learn the system basics. * From Market-Garden to the third
Reich fall (14 turns) * D-Day (9
turns) * The Campaign (24 turns)
