CAMPAIGN
Operation Basalt
Operation Basalt in 1942 was a commando
raid on Sark, in the Channel Islands, which had
been occupied by German forces for two years.
The 12 raiders landed by boat, climbed up cliffs
and broke into local houses until they found a
local woman who told them about the German
garrison and gave them local newspapers.
They then raided a hotel being used as barracks
and escaped the island with a prisoner.
Take a Prisoner (Missions 3 & 4)
When making a Fight action an attacker can
declare he is trying to subdue his target. Roll as
normal for Fight and Defend (if appropriate)
and if any hits are scored, rather than rolling to
wound, make a basic Brawn test (roll an extra
White dice if there were two or more hits). If the
test is passed, the target has been captured.
MISSION 1
Gather Intelligence
Having landed by boat and scaled the
cliffs, the attacking force is looking for
information on the German forces and how
the local population is being treated. With
no knowledge of the situation they start
searching nearby buildings.

the marker on the base of the fighter who
found it or on their Recruitment card.
ʟ If it is a 2 the informant is in the building - by
spending an action a fighter can attempt to get
the information from the informant: Take a
basic Smarts test with an additional black die
if covert and if any successes are rolled place
the marker on the base of the fighter who
found it or on their Recruitment card.

effect on movement or any actions. Attackers may carry
more than one marker.
The Bad Intel and Dangerous Objective Event cards have
no effect on intelligence being carried – remove these
cards before the game.
If the carrying fighter is taken out while carrying a
newspaper (marker 1) then it is lost but if carrying the
