Game Description:
Off the Beaches and into the Fire

"May God have mercy upon my enemies because I will not."

It's the summer of 1944, and Allied forces fight to liberate occupied France from Germany. It's a titanic struggle that pits the advanced weaponry of the German Army against the airpower, artillery and ever-improving soldiers of the Allies. Welcome to Nations at War series.

White Star Rising 2nd Edition w/Upgrade Kit is the first game in the Nations at War series. White Star Rising 2nd Edition w/Upgrade Kit depicts platoon-level combat in World War II. In White Star Rising you'll find everything you're looking for in a platoon level game: armor, artillery, infantry serving as more than cannon fodder, command and control, air support, and desperate close assaults that leave the victor in possession of the ground and the defeated in headlong retreat. All included in an easy to learn and challenging to master game system. White Star Rising 2nd Edition w/Upgrade Kit, which focuses on the fighting between the Americans, their British allies, and Germans, Unit types include vehicles, soldiers and weapons of the armies that fought in France, Belgium and Germany in 1944-45. You'll fight battles at Omaha Beach, in the Lorraine, on the outskirts of Belgium, and in Germany itself.

Mod Contents:
White Star Rising Module Rules;
Nations at War Core rules v3.0;
4 full sheets of German, American, British, and Admin Counters;
8 geomorphic high-resolution maps (winter and summer versions of 4);
32 card Impulse Deck;
Detailed reference charts and TECs;
Solo Assistant including manual, deck, and reference cards;
Some contemporary background music and battle sounds; and
1 scenario (No Bridge Too Far).

Notes:
What is a Companion Book?
The Companion Books are the same as the Module Rules and Scenario booklets that are available in our games, with the exception we included most of the charts and tables that come within that game. So why release the Companion book? The Companion Books were designed for those gamers who are playing virtually and did not want to purchase the entire game just for the scenarios and tables to play via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator. So to be clear the Companion Books are NOT complete games but contain everything a player will need to play via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator. Players who prefer to play virtually can do so without the need to own the board (boxed) edition of the game. The Companion Books can be used by players playing digitally via our Digital DLC editions via Steam for their Macs or Windows computers.

So if you own or purchase the board games you don't need to purchase the Companion Books. Some board game owners prefer them since they are spiral bound and will lay flat on the table and any typos or known errors found since the printing of the original edition of the board game has been updated. The Companion books can be used with any game printing or game rule edition.

If you are looking for opponents on either Vassal or Tabletop Simulator can use our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/DQBhqFx.

Please Note: This is not a complete product and requires the use of the free modules via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator or the Digital DLC modules available via Steam. The Companion books can also be used with the Tabletop Boardgame as well.

Other Notes:
The map in this mod and the counters are scaled in size for the single scenario alone. Players who wish to play multi-map scenarios after purchasing the scenarios from the links below may need to scale down the maps and counters to fit the table.

This mod incorporates Mangofeet's (here on TTS) stack exploder mod which allows stacks to be examined with a right click and choosing the explode option. We plan to incorporate this functionality across all LnLP mods if no issues develop.
