So went the first Pacific War scenario using Fireball Forward. Everyone had a great time and agreed that the game 'felt' like it was a Guadalcanal fight. Up until now we have been playing mainly Normandy, Russia and Sicily scenarios. Although they each have unique terrain features they are similar.

Fun World War Two company-level wargaming rules that are short on charts, rules and brain-pain but are long on tactics. We are still developing fireball forward pdf download free rules but already have a following! Top notch historical scenarios are also being created. We are the guys that author the Skirmish Campaigns and Check Your 6! Here I will update everyone on how the rules and scenarios are progressing and invite feedback.
Date: December 22, fireball forward pdf download free, At dawn the main Japanese invasion forces began hitting the beaches at five separate sites in Lingayen Gulf.
Four of these were completely undefended, allowing the Japanese to race fireball forward pdf download free and cut the coastal road. Only at Bauang were Filipino troops waiting at the beach. As the Kamijima Detachment approached the shore, the Filipinos opened fire.
And it was effective fire indeed! The Fil-Am forces had gambled and placed their. Kamijima's Daihatsu landing barges were hit before they even reached the beach, and when the troops finally began spilling out, the majority were left cowering in the surf Only a handful of troops made it off the boats in good order.
Unfortunately for the Filipinos, that's all the Japanese needed. Right away, they launched a Banzai charge against the. A leader initiates Banzai, and he brings along with him all good-order subordinate troops in contact whether these have already moved or not. So it's extremely dangerous, and the feel of it matches the "suddenness" so often mentioned by defenders in written accounts.
This Banzai charge consisted of two squads and one platoon leader, and it suffered withering fire on the way in which killed the leader. However, both squads pressed onward perhaps inspired by the late platoon leader's exampleand they closed into contact with the Filipinos Next, by miraculous luck, the Filipinos prevailed in close combat! What a wild fight! The Filipinos now sensed blood in the water.
Defenders from inland converged onto the landing site and pinned down the IJA with small arms, plus two. With losses mounting, the IJA scrambled to get troops off the beach. They gathered there and launched another Banzai charge inland toward one of the Brownings Fireball forward pdf download free more withering fire on the way in, this charge carried the position, wiping out both the Browning and another Fil-Am position immediately behind it. The Japanese were finally on the move.
There were 3 or 4 Banzai charges in total I can't recallbut ultimately, the Japanese controlled only two of the three victory locations they need to establish the beachhead. Honors went to the Filipinos. Everyone had a blast with this one. The "feel" of the engagement seemed just right, fireball forward pdf download free, and there were loads of tough tactical choices to be made on both sides. Historically, fireball forward pdf download free, Lt. Kamijima suffered terrible losses at Bauang, and he might have been thrown back into the gulf entirely, but the Fil-Am defenders ultimately had to withdraw because other Japanese elements were threatening to cut the coast road behind them.
In this scenario, that dynamic is represented through initiative chips. The Fil-Am forces have one permanent chip, but it's lost as soon as a good-order Japanese squad exits the board behind them, toward the coastal road. We kicked around various refinements to the rules which might make the game better, seemingly an endless process, but the results are worth it.
Next time we play this one, we'll see how it goes. This is the first of eight scenarios covering the Fall of the Philippines. This link has that story:. Fireball forward pdf download free a later scenario, Lt. Ramsey's famous charge at Morong the Fireball forward pdf download free. Army's final horse-cavalry charge ever will be represented.

Hi All. Sorry for the long hiatus from posting. Good news tho' Just needs some more editing. The rules are being built as 'programmed' rules meaning you read a certain amount and are then ready to play a specific scenario.
Read a little more and you can play the next scenario. Eventually you will have worked your way through the entire rules set and can do anything. This is how the original Squad Leader rules were created and laid out.
As a 13 year old I was able to teach myself Squad Leader so they must have been doing something right! We are also including copious examples to help people visualize the rules.
The examples are in side bars that line up with the rules they are illustrating. The playtest kit will include the first rules section infantry combatthe accompanying scenario Easy Company's assault on the guns at Brecourt Manora quick reference sheet and markers. It will be available for free download from our up and coming website.
The website will also have other goodies like troop labels, one-off scenarios and videos that demonstrate the rules. Historicon is approaching and according to the event organizers Fireball Forward is going to be the 5th most run game at the Con! I am running two Guadalcanal scenarios. So there will be a good cross section of games to choose from, fireball forward pdf download free. Nothing from Russia this con as Curt Daniels has run at least three Russia '41 games at the last few conventions.
Look for us at Historicon I would love to meet you all and answer any questions you have. Stop by and have some fun with Fireball Forward. Saturday, March 19, I'm happy to report that Mark has begun a new draft of the rules and it's damn good! The new draft is set up in stages with scenarios inserted, so you can play as you go. The first stage covers basic infantry, and we're thinking of making it available as PDF so folks can check it out and give feedback. That said, Mark fireball forward pdf download free I are committed to ironing out all the details before releasing the full thing, so it'll be several months yet, at least, before the rules booklet is available.
We're planning to have all major theaters of WWII worked out, and to really capture the differences, based on historical written accounts - which we're constantly reading anyway. We began with late-war Western front Europe, worked out armor rules, artillery, flamethrowers, moved on to Pacific jungle fighting VERY differentand recently began work on desert fighting.
Mark came up with new rules for long-range visibility which was a huge factor in the desert. I just finished reading "Brazen Chariots" by Robert Crisp and then played Mark's first desert scenario. Definitely feels right, although it was purely an infantry fight. Can't wait to do armor. I've been developing rules for bicycle troops and cavalry Philippines saw both in spades. Jerry Frazee and his crew in North Carolina worked out rules for Eastern front, including a Commissar table which is a total blast - always injects a huge dose of Communism into the story line.
To answer some recent questions from Jan in Copenhagen, labels are not mandatory, but they're cool to look at, and help narrate the story, fireball forward pdf download free. Anything roughly the size of Flames of War units work just fine. You can always use FoW units if you want - easy to get on ebay. Or make your own. Anything about 15mm x 25mm will work with the labels on those PDF's.
Lastly, your table is certainly big enough. Several scenarios are very small - just 2 x 3 feet approx 0. Posted by Jonathan the lurker at AM 3 comments:.
Thursday, December 16, Japanese Invade Philippines Yesterday we playtested "A Filipino Welcome" - the first scenario of a series about the fall of the Philippines. What a blast! Here's the historical setup: Date: December 22, At dawn the main Japanese invasion forces began hitting the beaches at five separate sites in Lingayen Gulf.
