Fallschirmjaeger

Fallschirmjaeger is an operational wargame in Multi-Man Publishing's Standard Combat Series (SCS) depicting the German airborne assault against the Netherlands between 10–14 May 1940. Players recreate one of history's first large-scale airborne operations, focusing on the capture of Rotterdam and The Hague to support the German ground offensive.

Built on the streamlined SCS system, the game combines approachable mechanics with solid historical realism. German airborne troops must survive behind enemy lines until relieved by advancing Panzer formations, while the Dutch player races to isolate and destroy the scattered paratroopers before that relief arrives. Bridges, reinforcement timing and operational maneuver are central to victory.
