About the game
Fighting Formations (FF) is a series of wargames covering WWII tactical combined-arms combat at the platoon and squad levels. Each game in the series will feature a distinct combat unit, highlighting battles in which that unit participated as well as its particular order of battle and fighting characteristics. In each scenario, one player will take command of elements of this featured unit while the other assumes control of the opposing forces. These two players will alternate giving orders, activating their units on the map for various military functions. This edition covers the US 29th Infantry Division's fighting in Europe during 1944. Scenarios cover the wide variety of assaults the division was called on to make against Germans dug into towns and forts, across open fields, through bocage and woods. Every new battle forced the 29ers to learn new tactics to overcome obstacles in their push toward Berlin.
