 September 8, 1939... Barely a week into the invasion of
Poland, German troops of the 4th Panzer Division were at the gates of Warsaw despite
having lost a quarter of their armor. The Polish citizenry was urged to dig
anti-tank ditches and fortify buildings, and artillery pieces were hastily aimed down the
long avenues of the Ochota district. The war's first vital urban battle was about to
commence... |
 September 9, 1939... With von Rundstedt driving on
Warsaw, his northern flank was stretched thin. In a desperate attempt to buy time
for the defense of Warsaw, Army Poznan struck south at Leczyca with artillery, tankettes,
and motorized machine gun carts. A breakthrough here could blunt the German
attack. On the defensive for the first time and without armor support, the
landsers of the 30th Division teetered on the edge of breaking... |
| April 9th, 1940... Threatened with aerial bombardment of
Copenhagen, the Danish Government quickly surrendered once the Germans crossed the
border. The only problem was that the Germans had so efficiently eliminated Danish
lines of communication that news of the surrender did not reach the front line
troops. In Haderslev, the Danish garrison prepared to repulse the invading Germans,
wondering if this was to be their last act... |
| May 13, 1940... As planned, French troops moved up into
Belgium as soon as the Germans violated Belgium neutrality. As the blitzkrieg raged,
gaps appeared between the Belgian and French armies. One such gap at the railway
crossing at Wolmerson, plugged by a mixed force of Belgian infantry and light armor, saw
the Germans attacking at the same time that the neighboring French recon force was pulling
out. As the Germans advanced from several directions, the outnumbered defenders
could only hope that the armor reinforcements of the Belgian Lanciers would get there in
time... |
| November 17, 1940... The Greek town of Koritsa fell
several days after Italy's Albanian-based invasion was launched on October 28th.
Three weeks later, the Italian "blitzkrieg" still hadn't made much progress, and
the Greeks were preparing a counterattack to retake the strategic mountain village.
Horse-drawn artillery and captured Italian tankettes supported the attack, but it was the
mounted Greek cavalrymen who struck fear into the hearts of Mussolini's pride and joy, the
Alpini... |
| DOOMED BATTALIONS is the Allied Minors Armor and
Ordnance Extension to the ADVANCED SQUAD LEADER system. Extensive
research into the specifications and usage of the Armored Fighting Vehicles and Ordnance
of Poland, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Greece allows you to recreate the
valiant efforts of these Doomed Battalions to stem the tide of blitzkrieg. Three
beautiful geomorphic mapboards further extend the flexibility of this most versatile game
system. Board 9 is the last of the "rogue" boards featuring a large hill
mass rising up four levels, with two passes cutting through and a stone
"monastery" on the heights, Board 44 depicts a rural crossroads with open
terrain perfect for tank warfare. Board 45 provides the more urban feel of a large
central European city with a large government building. New terrain rules are added
to Chapter B, including rules for narrow streets and steeples. Also provided are
updated pages for Chapter A, incorporating clarifications in the rules for "Human
Wave" and controlling territory. Eight new scenarios covering actions
throughout the early war period are presented. New terrain overlays, including
railway overlays, allow you to adapt these and other mapboards to depict many different
situations.
Vehicle counters include the 7TPJW, the queen of Poland's armored forces, and Denmark's
armed "Nimbus", a motorcycle unit mounting an anti-tank gun and anti-aircraft
machinegun. |

DOOMED BATTALIONS, 1st Edition Errata
This errata applies to Doomed Battalions, 1st Edition only. All
orders are filled with Doomed Battalions, 2nd Edition which has this errata incorporated.
DB COUNTER (and Note) ERRATA
Vehicle Note 15 T-13 Type II: Counters (and the illustration in the Note) should
indicate that vehicle is radioless (as shown in Listing).
Vehicle Note 20 M3A3(a): Counters (and the illustration in the Note) should show
superior turret armor for the side/rear armor (as indicated in the Listing), not for the
front armor.
Vehicle Note 27 M.38: Counter B should show the MA as "37L", not
"37".
Vehicle Note 36 VCL Utility(b): Counter and Listing should show that vehicle is
fully-tracked, not wheeled.
Ordnance Note 10 C75 TR: Counters A-C (and the illustration in the Note) should show
the gun caliber as overscored (as shown in the Listing and counter D)
Ordnance Note 13 C120 M31: Counter A (and the illustration in the Note) should show the
gun caliber as overscored (as shown in the Listing and counters B & C).
Ordnance Note 30 75M 19S: The counters, the illustration in the Note, and the Listing
should not show the gun caliber as overscored, since its AP5 (Limited Stowage-C8.8) is not
date dependent.
Ordnance Note 31 C105 L 13S: Counter F should show M5 like the other counters, instead
of M6.
Ordnance Note 33 155 model 17S: Counter A (and the Note illustration) should show the
gun caliber as being overscored (as shown on Counters B & C and the Listing).
NOTE ERRATA
Ordnance Notes 4, 7, 11, 21, 22, & 32: The illustrations in the Notes for these
Guns should show their gun caliber as overscored (as shown in the Listing and on the
counters).
Ordnance Note 28 should refer to this gun's use as "towed AT guns", not
"towed AA guns".
Ordnance Note 36 should refer to British Ordnance Note 21, not 41.
Vehicle Note 2 Vickers Edw(b): The VCA of the vehicle in the diagram should be facing
the squad (rotate the vehicle 120 degrees CCW).
Vehicle Note 30 should cross refer to Low Ground Pressure at D1.41, not D1.51.
BOARD ERRATA
Board 45: Hex N8 should have a regular center-dot in it, not a large dot.
SCENARIO ERRATA
Scenario 86 "Fighting Back": The contact number shown on the scenario card
for the Polish radio should be 7, as is shown on the actual radio counter.
Scenario 89 "Rescue Attempt": In SSR 2 replace overlays RR3 & RR4 with
RR11 & RR12 (the 6-hex ElRR overlays). [Consider overlapping a hex of the two GLRR
overlays (RR1 & RR2) which will keep all of overlay RR1 on board.]
REPLACEMENT COUNTERS
The six replacement counters for the U.S. M4 18-Ton High Speed Tractor (originally
provided in KGPII) should show "*AAMG" for its MA, with "2" ROF box.
DOOMED BATTALIONS, 2nd Edition Errata
The counters for the M36 and M38 Armored Cars should have a 2FP rear
BMG (the Listing is correct). This will be corrected in Journal #2.
