Red Devils from Above, I have finished the counter sheet for the RD expansion.  You can get it
below with some posted examples.

Some of you guys may have not played Platoon Leader, you can find it at BGG or at http://hexesandsoldiers.wix.com/hsgames.  I am currently re-working the other 2 games as well, however the Operation Market Garden campaign is one of my favorites topics.

Good question, I have been approached but currently am not actively doing anything for money, just for the community.  My work thus far is reusing other images and not drawing a lot them myself because of the time involved and my wife would kill me doing that and not getting paid lol.   Just giving back to the community and if something comes out of it than that is cool, if not I will still do them as I enjoy it..... here are some more for the base set.


Here are the Platoon Leader counter Re-work.  Cold Combat Variation next.

You realize the whole "professional" part in there means you are getting paid, right ;)

Was looking at this game today on BGG..looks interesting.

I agree..your work is superb and some wargame designer\publishers out there should snap you up. I'd have a look see if any jobs are out there if I had your talent.

Yes, very nicely done!


Several years ago I took what I used to do for a hobby and went professional with it. Now I avoid doing it in my free time like the plague!  :buck2:

@panzerde
Thanks, I am currently working on my own game, Assault on Eben Emael.... but a long ways to go and some mechanics that need to be worked out.

Below are two maps.  The first you should be familiar with as it is the Brecourt Manor Assault map (still a work in progress).  This map with have some variations on the way you proceed to try and keep it fresh.

The second map is a town map in France.  Some basic scenarios included will be assault town, defend town from German Counter Attack, locate and destroy the AA sites etc.....

Here is the Town Map with the scenario I have worked on (limited play test) of Walk in the Park.  I still need to work on the rules but the components has be found below.  It is an assault the AA sites  /and/ secure the town.  The AA site is taken right now by occupying the hex.

This looks great PanzersEast!

Questions and friendly suggestions:

1) On this map are R8 and R9 building hexes or road hexes or both? I know what you are doing with the graphics but it will bug a lot of gamers.
2) The bridge near T11/U10 is on the hex line or is it in one or the other hex? I think it would be better to be clearly in a hex.

That looks really nice PE!

I noticed Red Devils in the image name. Will this be an airborne scenario- heavy game?

Thanks for the feedback.... I have a hex clarifications in the scenario rules, however it is tough fitting them in.  I will have to adjust the bridge hex you are right, it is a little too unclear.

It revolves around Airborne ops, however is not relegated to them.  Some of the scenarios have you para-dropping into the map, while other have you organized units that attack on foot.
