Old Hickory: The Battle for L'Abbaye Blanche – A Pint Sized Campaign for Chain of Command (2015)

Overview

Old Hickory is the third Pint-Sized campaigns for Chain of Command, designed to be played using the campaign handbook At the Sharp End.

At thirty pages long, Old Hickory contains an overview of US operations in Normandy and beyond from Operation Cobra to the German counter-attack at Mortain, Operation Luttich. It goes on to present a mini-campaign covering the defence of L'Abbaye Blanche, a key position to the North of Mortain where the US 30th Division stood firm against 2nd SS Das Reich, and Der Fuhrer regiment in particular.

The campaign is a total of six game tables with the duration running between three and eight games. Briefings are provided for both sides, along with measurable objectives, period maps, force and support option listings.

Like all Pint-Sized campaigns, it is available for the price of a pint in the publisher’s local pub.
