Raid On St Nazaire (Tabletop Simulator of Avalon Hill board game)
Setup Explained
The game log lists all 18 British boats involved in the raid and their name/type/commander/crew/weapons/commando. (Yes I know the Campbeltown is a ship, but for simplicity the game refers to all the watercraft as boats.) It also lists a landing zone on the board to either drop off commandos or load passengers for the escape back to England and the target of the commandos on the boats.
The 18 boats are represented by green counters and place in the Approach Zone on the board. A searchlight beam counter is also placed in the Approach Zone representing the fact that one of the four searchlights is illuminating the area the boats are approaching from.
The four searchlights and 18 fixed German guns are placed on their respective areas on the board.
