“Assault on Fortress T’BomFee” is based on The Battle of MF’in Eben Emael (TBoMFEE, see what we did there? 😉 ) from WWII, using only the finest and most awesome historical elements in order to create a superlative experience of total and complete epic killyness.

It has everything!

A set piece pitched battle fighting over three (3!) bridges

Huge artillery guns that completely annihilate anything they hit

Airborne troops landing in stylish chromed-out gliders

Shaped Charge Explosives that blow huge holes in the sides of huge artillery turrets.

Desperate room-to-room battles in an underground complex

Giant tentacle monster things rampaging through that same underground complex

Machine gun nests, miles of barbed wire, false turrets to deceive and delay the attackers

Violence aplenty as troops are cut down and blown to smithereens in great numbers

Bodies parts flying everywhere, but no sex scenes though, this is a family movie.

The Fortress T’BomFee is an Imperial held fortress on a poor defenseless victimized world just minding its own business. It is an “unassailable” fortification, filled with a vast number of troops, which overlooks three strategic bridges that must be secured in order to drive the Imperials out.

A land assault for the bridges is kicked off. This land assault has been anticipated and the Empire has allowed it to progress unimpeded in order to demonstrate that the Imperial troops can crush the rebels without even resorting to the guns of the fortress.

Meanwhile, using an annual unpowered glider regatta as a cover, the rebels divert from the regatta to land on the upper surface of the fortress and breach the gun turrets using innovative new shaped charges. This unprecedented aerial landing catches the contemptuous and complacent Imperials flat-footed.

We envision this battle to be of grand epic proportions to easily rival the other events that I’ve seen on OTT. Our goal is for all the special scenario rules to have epic proportions and high killyness. Balanced out by being able to respawn squads and vehicles to charge and die again.

Anticipating a weekend comprised of one Build day, one Battle day and one Bullshitting day, this event will allow people who have only assembled a small portion of their new models to participate fully and hurl themselves into various meatgrinders over and over to their heart’s content.

Looking at the historical battle, I have to say this battle is soooo Star Wars!!!

This first part of the documentary lays out the basic scenario elements and quick summary of the battle.

Youtube Documentary from the History Channel while it was still semi-reputable.
