The Plastic Soldier Company is giving away a PDF of 'Canada's Crucible', a location-to-location campaign for the Battlegroup Overlord rules, based on the fighting between 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 12th SS Panzer Division around Norrey-en-Bessin in Normandy from the 8th to the 11th June 1944.
You can download it from https://www.theplasticsoldiercompany.co ... ruleset-2/ or https://www.theplasticsoldiercompany.co ... ucible.pdf.
I believe the campaign was included in the first (standalone) edition of the Battlegroup Rulebook, but is not being included in the second edition.
There's 50 pages of material, including the Battlegroup army lists for Normandy. I thought I would post it here for anyone interested who hadn't seen it.

“We hope to see a Europe where men of every country will think of being a European as of belonging to their native land, and...wherever they go in this wide domain...will truly feel, ‘Here I am at home'.” Winston S. Churchill, 1948.

Don't know if I'll ever use it but it looks too good to pass up. Thanks for highlighting this.

I've already got this in the original book, and it's well worth a look even if you don't use these rules.
