Hill54/V is a themed event around Operation Market Garden, in which teams of two players face each other in semi-historical battles from the Dutch border to Arnhem.

Army lists are to be send in to lister@hill54.dk before 1st of July.

In an effort to create somewhat meaningful teams in a historical context, there are some restrictions in what lists the players have available. Only the “Market Garden” and “Bridge by Bridge” compilations (and associated PDFs ) are available for this event, and players must, furthermore, select lists where at least one of the lists can take the other's combat Platoons as part of their list.

E.g. a Parachute Rifle Company - 82nd Airborne Division may team up with an Armoured Sqadron because - an Armoured Platoon is available as support for the Parachute Rifle Company, and this is a combat platoon of an Armoured Squadron. In this case the opposite is also true.

The only exception from this is that both players in a team can elect to play any lists within the same division or kampfgruppe.

The players are not allowed to choose support platoons that belong to his teammate’s unit as combat platoons (because the teammate is obviously playing those) – in the event that both players have chosen to play the same division or kampfgruppe this does, of course, not prevent players from choosing their own combat Platoons.

Each player have 1500 points available, so that each team plays with 3000 points – players are allowed to borrow up to 150 points from their teammate.

Each team may only select one Air Support and AOP - if one of the players play Commando , there may be up to two Naval Support selections.

Each round will be paired manually with regards to the players choise of army and available missions, which means that players will predominantly play missions in the area where their armies were in combat during Market Garden. This will, however, not always be possible because the following pairing rules will take precedence: Players will only meet each other once during the event; Players will only play the same Mission once during the event; And finally, Players will only meet players from the opposing faction.

The missions for Hill54/V will be modified Battlefront missions on double tables. The usual rules for determining the defender and attacker will be suspended – instead the mission will determine which side (Axis or Allies) is the attacker or defender. There will be missions where both Axis and Allies respectively are the attackers. Missions will be published here as they are completed. They are, however, subject to change as there will be continous playtesting up to the event.

Adjustments to the Main Rules

The rules for River Crossing can be used on all rivers regardless of width. Unless the mission specifically states otherwise, the river is regarded as less than 20 cm wide, regardless of the actual width.

British armies are prohibited from using the Night Attack rule. Except if they find themselves as the attacker in a mission that uses the Dawn special rule, then they may make spearhead deployment moves as normal.

A player only check for Company Morale once the player's and the teammate's army combined have more platoons destroyed than on the table. At this time the player will test once against the motivation of the company that have the majority of destroyed platoons. If both companies have lost equally many platoons, then the players may choose which company perform the test.

If the Company Morale check fails, then the entire force have lost as normal.
