SCENARIO: SAVING RYANS PRIVATES
This scenario represents a soldier breaking through the enemy
line to deliver very important cargo to headquarters.
Private Ryan has just married a local French mademoiselle. After
finishing his vows and celebrating outside the church with his
platoon, the alarm goes out that Jerry has been spotted. The
Germans are crashing the party. It is up to Private Ryan to save
his newly wed from the dastardly Germans.
SAVING RYANS PRIVATES
You must get your Tank and your Girl through the enemy lines and
off the board.
FORCES
This scenario pitches armies of equal value against each other.
Additionally the defender has a free vehicle of armour value 8 or
less. This is the vehicle that Private Ryan and his wife are in and
don t count towards the total points or vehicle selection.
SET UP & TURN LENGTH
The game is played along the length of a 6x4ft table. There is
no turn limit.
Terrain: In the middle of the table is a church, the rest of the
table should have a selection of Line of Sight blocking terrain,
linear obstacles or woods. Try to avoid too many open areas. If a
road is included it should not be possible to travel directly from
the church to the short end of the table.
Deployment: The Defender sets up the wedding vehicle within 3
inches of the church. All other units in the army must be deployed
within a 12 inch corridor down the centre line of the board. Any
units may set up hidden.
The attacker must split their army into 2 equal forces, one will
enter from the left table edge, one from the right. Each force can
have any of the units assigned as a first wave or in reserve. This
must be decided before the first dice is drawn from the cup.

OBJECTIVE
The Defender wins if they get the bride and groom off one of the
short table edges. (see special rules below if vehicle is
disabled)
The Attacker wins if the wedding vehicle is destroyed with the
wedding couple inside or the couple are subsequently killed. (see
special rules below)
VICTORY
If the Bride and Groom make it off the table it is a defender
win. If only the bride makes it off the table it is a draw. If the
bride is killed then it is an attacker win.
SPECIAL RULES
If the wedding vehicle is disabled but not destroyed the bride
and groom may abandon the vehicle on foot. Use the rules for units
escaping a destroyed transport vehicle. (ie. they will have a Down
order die assigned to them).
The vehicle is then counted as destroyed. The bride and groom
form a unit of 2, the groom has a rifle, the bride is unarmed. They
may be issued orders as usual and may mount transports.
