Inspired by picture above, I frequently imagined a scenario built around it. In this picture, you can see a detail of German mountain troops of the 7th SS Gebirgs Division walking in file towards a village. Watching from the ridge above, their comrades look for any sign of a hostile enemy.
So this month's scenario GJ049 - "Freie Jage" is a hypothetical scenario depicting what might have occurred during Operation Freie Jagd in the late June-July time-frame of 1944 Yugoslavia. For more detail of that and other operations involving the 7th SS Gebirgs-"Prinz Eugen" Division, I recommend finding a copy of 7. SS-Gebirgsdivision "Prinz Eugen" im Bild by Munin Verlag.
Additionally, George Kelln produced a wonderful scenario pack based on the actions of this division in the Second World War. I highly recommend getting a copy from Lone Canuck directly or folks like ASL Battleschool or Ritterkrieg.
Like all of Lone Canuck's productions, it is packed with outstanding scenarios.
Hopefully, this scenario captures the flavor of the fighting between the Prinz Eugen Mountain Troopers and Tito's Partisans.
As always these monthly "Basement Quality" Scenarios are offered for fun only and as a thank you to the readers of this blog.
Remember to open pictures in a new window in order to maximize the size.
And as always, the PDF for this scenario can be downloaded from The ASL Scenario Archive
(just search on Grumble Jones).
Next month will see the release of the annual Grumble Jones Halloween Scenario. This scenario has a bit of collaborative support from both the Kansas City ASL Group and the Two-Half Squads. So you won't want to miss this year's Halloween Scenario!
This tongue-cheek Halloween ASL Scenario will be available in Mid-October.
