Forgotten Battles: The West Wall –
September 1944 to February 1945
This latest
volume of Anschluss Publishing History and Wargames scenarios covers the World War Two attempts
by the Americans and British forces to break through the German ‘West Wall’,
known by the Allies as ‘The Siegfried Line’ from September 1944 to February
1945, which included the hell of the Hurtgen Forest battles.
This book is
aimed at providing WW2 gamers with a series of scenarios which cover a range of
types of engagements, unit size and variety of opposing forces, and including
new rules for demolitions, assaults on armoured targets and panzerfausts as
infantry artillery weapons, as well as new troop types and armoured
vehicles. There are 20 scenarios as well
as detailed historical accounts with the scenarios designed to be used with any
rules set, down to company and even platoon level. This book is of interest to
anyone interested in World War 2, not just wargamers.
The
scenarios have been extensively researched and where inevitable gaps were
encountered, experience and pragmatism based on real military experience were
employed to make the scenarios as realistic and playable as possible. As always
with Anschluss books, the scenarios have been extensively play-tested to verify
that they are workable and accurate as the constraints of a tabletop game with
the benefit of historical tactical hindsight and all-seeing vision can be.
For some of the players, the role
which they have undertaken, and the associated restrictions or limitations may
make their task seem ‘unwinnable,’ however, wherever possible the victory conditions
are designed to make the scenarios as close to the real actions as practicable.
Remember, often in warfare it is not about winning, but how well you lose.

Review of the rules
Excellent review of ‘The War on the Ground’ rules in the latest edition of ‘Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy magazine!
Just some of the comments made by the reviewer.
‘...arguably the best WW2 rules I have come across’
‘... anyone who wants their WW2 games to have a real period feel should try these rules.’
‘... an unknown daVinci masterpiece of WW2 gaming.’
‘... action looks and feels ‘right’. This is in contrast with many battalion-level rules that end up feeling like a platoon-level skirmish.’
He does make comment that these rules are not for a newcomer, and he is right. His comments about making things more clear are also accurate, so a FaQ has been added to this website to clear queries up.
We do listen to constructive criticism! 😊
