LONE CANUCK PUBLISHING

Designed for the participants of the 2017 Canadian ASL Open held in Victoria, BC. This four-scenario pack is played on an 18 x 24 custom map with one inch hexes, revolving around the French-Canadian Royal 22é (Vandoo) Regiment's advance towards the "CIDER" crossroads and their valiant defence of Casa Berardi against the Fallschirmjägers of the 1.Fallschirmjägersdivision. This module is compatible with MMP's ASL™ System and modifiable to be used with other miniature Wargaming systems.

CASLO-1 Onwards: The Vandoos were tasked with advancing up the Orsonga-Ortona Road and capture the "CIDER" crossroads. The Vandoo's C Company, under the command of Captain Paul Triquet led his men towards the crossroad, when they came under heavy mortar and machine-gun fire. Unable to move, the Vandoos were raked merciless by the unrelenting fire and soon casualties began to mount.

CASLO-2 The Only Safe Place: Supported by the tanks of the Ontario Regiment, the Vandoos set out  towards their objective of the "CIDER" crossroads. In their path were men and panzers units of the elite German 1st Fallschirmjäger Division, who raked the Vandoos with heavy mortar and machine-gun fire. As the Vandoos' casualties started mount, Captain Triquet ordered his men to the only safe place - the stone manor house of Casa Berardi. 

CASLO-3 They Shall Not Pass: Captain Triquet and what was left of his company, along with three Ontario tanks, and Royal Canadian Horse Artillery's FOO, Lieutenant McDonald gathered about the stone manor house of Casa Berardi ready to receive the Fallschirmjägers attack. Wait long the French-Canadians did not have to wait. The Germans launched piecemeal attacks from the north, east, and out of the gully to the south.

CASLO-4 Valour at Casa Berardi: At 0730 hrs, the Vandoos started out for Casa Berardi under heavy shellfire, crossing the “Gully” at a point deemed “its least formidable”. Once across, “C” Company, under the command of Captain Paul Triquet, was ordered to perform a right flanking manoeuvre, which would enabled the remainder of the Battalion to attack Casa Berardi from the front. “C” Company, apart from Captain Triquet himself, was reduced to a fighting strength of two sergeants and fifteen men, armed with small arms, and a woefully low on ammunition; while the accompanying Ontarios, under command of Major “Snuffy” Smith, had four tanks left- two of them bogged in the thick mud nearby.

Valour at Casa Berardi contains:

• one 18" x 24" map with one inch hexes

• four ASL scenarios
