[Another alternate game setting] WW2 and south-central France

[Adm.Lee]

I was listening to "We have ways of making you talk", a WW2 podcast this week, and the interviewee for 3 episodes was talking about SAS (British, French, and Belgian) operations in France in 1944.

Several small-group missions took place along or south of the Loire River, linking up with the French resistance to cause havoc with the Germans. Not often talked about, I think. This would be to the south of the American armies as they turn left(east) from Normandy towards the Franco-German border in August & September. The Germans would be thin on the ground and divided between those trying to get into the fight or trying to get to the Rhine first. Divided loyalties among the local populace, too.

Then, at least twice, I heard, "And they picked up a downed American pilot. There's always an American or Canadian around..." and my T2k-trained mind said, "Bing!-- that sounds like a T2k group!" Small groups in light vehicles (airdropped jeeps), heavily armed and looking for trouble, not unlike some groups near Kalisz?

British (including volunteers from around the Empire & Commonwealth) raiders, French Maquis and/or SAS guys themselves, SOE or OSS also from abroad, downed airmen = sounds like the wide variety of backgrounds my groups of players often came up with.

It would likely be short-term game, but that's all I can get anyone to commit to anymore (myself included), but it's certainly within the capabilities of the rules, whether classic or new set. I'd often mused about ways to use a WW2 setting for either a raid or behind-the-lines game, this is just another one.

Absolutely, that's a T2K party if ever I saw one. What a great idea for a campaign
