About the game
Raid on St Michel links five Table Top Teasers or scenarios together in a mini campaign. They can be played as stand alone battles or sequentially with each impacting n the next. The Grand Duchy of Lorraine and the Vereinigte Freie Städte (VFS) are long term adversaries. The Lorraine Forces are modelled on those of France with not dissimilar uniforms, while the VFS - the United Free Provinces - are a fairly tight agglomeration of small principalities, republics, city states and so on, united to oppose Lorraine. The VFS uniforms, inspired by a number of European armies, provide a colourful contrast to the white of Lorraine. This action takes place in a fairly remote northern area of the border between the two adversaries, the line of demarcation being the River Kneller. On the Lorraine side of the border, to the south, is the small province of St.Michel which unknowingly is about to become the focus of enemy operations. —description from the publisher's website
