Event rules description
The Op
On June 6, 1944, US soldiers from the 2nd and 5th Rangers divisions scaled the 100’ cliff face to take out the German batteries at Point du Hoc, located halfway between Omaha and Utah Beaches. When they got to the top, the Rangers discovered the Germans had begun fortifying the position, but the guns weren’t yet in place; they were staged in a nearby field.
So where is the artillery barrage coming from?
The Belligerents
Green Team - a ragtag group of US soldiers who were separated from their squads during the Beach Assault and found themselves lost behind enemy lines. After a brief, but intense firefight, they discover a map outlining the Maisy Battery, three locations that are housing the guns being used to shell Allied forces. The squad decides to take out the German guns.
Blue Team – German Wehrmacht who are firing and defending these gun placements.
This is not a strict reenactment. We will provide you with armbands if your appearance doesn’t clearly indicate your faction.
While we encourage period uniforms and insignia, the Staff at SAASMaine, and the players choosing to roleplay the Axis, are in NO way cool with Nazis and what they represent.
