Loc: Old Wade House Historic Site, Greenbush , WI
Date of event: 2-3-4November, 2012
Event Times: 1500 Hrs, November 2 – 1200 Hrs, November 4, 2012
This annual event is a day-long full immersion objective-based tactical in a great setting that is well suited to small unit actions.

Allies: The Allies are advancing on a broad front strategy, and using airborne forces to secure strategic bridgeheads in advance of ground troops. Can you drive the entrenched axis forces from their cleverly designed defenses?...

Axis: If the positions were reversed, and the Allies found themselves in your position, how would they respond? As an offensive force, how would you crush the Allies?

The event will be run in two halves: In the morning engagement, the Allies will advance on prepared German defenses and attempt to drive them out.

After a 90 minute mid-day pause to resupply and redeploy, the situation will be reversed, and the Commanders can see if they can conduct a more effective operation than their counterparts....

Sign up and find out. Registration is open at http://401gir.com/. Add your unit to the list of Wade House Veterans.

Allied Units represented can include all U.S. , British, and Canadian and other Allied forces present in the ETO following D-Day. Axis units represented can include all German Heer and SS Units present in the ETO following D-Day. Civilians / French resistance: Strongly encouraged. The general setting is ETO, Fall 1944.
