New file at the Repository: Toquemont and Vauvrecy (2013-06-01)


Recommended Posts

Toquemont is a fictional 816x1840 map of hilly bocage country, again menat to feel like the higher ground over which "Bluecoat" was fought. Unlike the proevious two maps, this one has no battle damage.This second version has been slightly modified where it overlaps with a new map, Vauvrecy; those who have already downloaded the previous version should not feel compelled to update with the new version as the changes are not tactically significant. Perfectionists and people who intend to use the two maps to develop connected scenarios should use the new version.The Vauvrecy map is 656x912. The terrain is more rolling though still heavily wooded. It includes a railway and a station.

Got me thinking if there are any authentic battle maps or scenarios covering Operation Bluecoat? I seem to have that many maps downloaded or in anticipation of release that I've forgotten if there is one.

It would be so useful if the community had a running catalogue of all the maps and scenarios made. Some basic labels such as authentic or fictional and any OOB's and AI plans would be the only other essential info. I'm aware that there is at least one such catalogue of maps on a gaming website but it isn't comprehensive by any means.

There are 6 Bluecoat scenarios in the scenarios that shipped with the model:

CW Evil be unto him

CW Keep calm and carry on

CW Nedforce

CW Normons

CW Seven Winds

CW Ubique.

There is another Bluecoat scenario in the Scottish Corridor campaign, La Mancelliere.

My fictional maps aim at creating some fictional terrain similar to how the Bluecoat terrain is described that can then be used to have fun recreating small or large engagements or "campaigns" with the feel of the brutal short range, claustrophobic fighting that British units experienced during this phase of the campaign.
