The Final Roar This special scenario uses the core rules from

“Until the Bitter End” and the rules that are relevant
V1.0 - This PDF describes the special scenario
“The Final Roar”, the scenario overviews for both
solitaire and two players, the Infantry Counters
used plus any specific rules. There are separate
Scenarios for the two player and Solitaire games.
Please note that these Scenarios include
reinforcements or special rules that are specific to
this Scenario.
This scenario’s narrative is that the Airborne glider
has crashed and littered the battlefield with
smashed parts of the glider. The few survivors are
in desperate fight, surrounded by a ruthless enemy,
using what cover they can find from the remnants
of their glider in a brutal and bloody fight.
to this scenario. The full game includes many more
scenarios, larger double maps, many more infantry
counters, heavy weapons and vehicles. If you

Read Me First!!
Before delving into the rules, or printing out
counters etc there is a couple of areas I would like
to draw attention to:
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank
all the Kickstarter backers, gaming community,
followers, friends and family for their ongoing
support and feedback.

Rules - the rules PDF is split down into the 2-player Many Thanks!
and Solitaire rules. Both these two rule sets share a
lot of the same game play mechanics and both fully Matt

detailed, which means there is some duplication. If
you want to only play the game two player you
don’t need to read the Solitaire rules and vice
versa.

Counter JPGs - We have included more of the

gameplay token’s than you probably need. By all
means print them out, mount them and cut them
out. Never hurts to have some spares!!

Bravery Point Counters - These are only used in

the Two Player game.

Maps -There are two ways to print out the maps,

due to their size. Firstly I have included a JPG of
the whole map and if you have access or want to
print your map at a printers you can use that.
Secondly for folk printing the game at home I have
split the map over 3 PDFs so print them out and
stick the 3 pieces together - there is quite a bit of
overlap to help.

In addition if you would prefer to print the map

bigger to have larger hex space, then feel free - as
a rough recommendation I would say print at 150%
size to have larger hexes. The resolution and art
will certainly stand up to enlargements.

As this is a print and play game feel free to print at

home or use a professional printers.

considered Cover (the same as Woods) for ranged

sections in the rule book are relevant - for example
there are no vehicles in this scenario and so you Infantry Counters
don't need to refer to the vehicles rules.
This scenario comes with all the Infantry Counters
The rules that are not used in these scenarios are: that are required - in this case the American
Airborne and German forces. If you prefer though,

 Airborne counters or German Fallschirmjäger
counters to your requirement and tastes.

I would also add that section 21.0 the Infantry

Squad Creation is entirely optional (creating
abilities for each counter can add a lot of narrative
to the scenario but isn't a requirement).

Additional Rules

The below rules are in addition to the rules found in

the rule book that are relevant to this scenario for
the Solitaire and Two-Player Scenarios.

Glider Hexes

On this map the wrecked Glider provides cover and

for rules they are considered the same as Woods.
The Glider wreck represents broken pieces of the
Glider where we assume the soldiers can crawl
under the broken wing, or fit inside the main
compartment for example.

Any Hex that has roughly 33% and above of the art
work that contains artwork of the crashed Glider
main components are considered to be classed as
Glider Hex. In detail they are:
D3, D6, D7, E3, E6, E7, E8, F3, F4, F8, F9, G3,
G4, H4, H5, J6, K5, K6, L5, L6, M5, M6, M7, M8,
M9, N5, N6, N8, N9, O4 & O5.

Movement. This type of Hex costs 2 Movement

Points for an Infantry Counter to enter.

Line of Sight. Line of sight is possible into a Glider

Hex but not through the hex. So for example if a
German Infantry Counter was in Q4 and wanting to
target an Airborne Infantry Counter in N5 it would
not have Line of Sight (due to the hex O4 being a
Glider Hex and therefore blocking Line of Sight)

If however in the same example the German

Infantry Counter was in Q4 but the the Airborne
Infantry Counter was in O4 then the Germany
Infantry Counter would have Line of Sight.
