About this expansion

Old School Tactical: Airborne is a two-player expansion with an approximately 300-minute play time, adding U.S. paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions to the Old School Tactical series.

Before the D-Day landings, these elite troops drop behind enemy lines in the darkness. The expansion focuses on their airborne operations and provides rules for paradrops, allowing players to bring the airborne units into the battle.

The action takes place on a large, historically based map of Saint-Mère-Église. Fight across both open fields and town streets as the airborne forces enter the conflict in scenarios inspired by the D-Day setting.

Designed as a substantial addition to the series, the expansion includes a complete sheet of Airborne counters, dedicated rules, six scenarios, and a huge 30-by-41-inch historical map. Together, these components provide a focused setting for battles involving the famous American paratroopers.

  • Complete sheet of Airborne counters
  • Rules for airborne operations, including paradrops
  • Six scenarios
  • 30-by-41-inch historical map of Saint-Mère-Église

Released in 2017, Old School Tactical: Airborne builds on the established series while centering its play on the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. For two players seeking a long, scenario-based World War II tactical experience, it presents a dedicated airborne chapter set before the Normandy landings.
