06.2020 Hedgerow: Bocage Tactics (series)

Alternative Titles/Edition History:
Sixteen total packs in series

Publisher/Date:
Critical Hit (2020)

Product Type:
Scenario/Map Pack

Country of Origin:
U.S.A.

Contents:
Content varies by pack; see description below for details (keep in mind Critical Hit content listings are often inaccurate).

Commentary:

Note: This entry serves as a combined entry for all of Critical Hit’s “Hedgerow: Bocage Tactics” scenario/map packs. As of late 2020, there were 16 such packs.

In addition to the packs listed below, Critical Hit has offered, for separate sale, large-hex “Deluxe Uber” versions of the boards for each pack, with each hex measuring 2.5″ across.

Critical Hit’s Hedgerow series may best be viewed as a convenient way to recycle a lot of previously-published Critical Hit material.  Each entry contains a varying number of previously published scenarios (often described as “bonus” scenarios by Critical Hit, on the theory that one cannot complain about getting an old scenario if it is a “bonus” and one is ostensibly not being charged for it), a varying number of nonstandard unmounted geoboards (12.5″ x 18″), and a random countersheet from among Critical Hit’s excess stock of countersheets.  Note that the countersheet may have little or nothing to do with the actual product that it is included with.  Critical Hit claims the geoboards are new.  It is highly unlikely that any of the scenarios were re-playtested for the new boards.

One scenario in one of the packs, HR#72 (Mission Boston), found in Bocage Tactics XII, combines 36 of the boards into a massive playing area it dubs the “Merderet Flood Plain” and uses them for a monster scenario involving the drop of the 82nd Airborne Division.

Critical Hit also claims, without explanation, that ownership of the first pack in the series is required by all other packs in the series.

The below product list contains the counters seen in one copy of the product, but it is entirely possible that some other copies of that product contain some other random countersheet inserted instead.

Bocage Tactics I:  This product contains six 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 280 die-cut German and American counters.  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $79.95.

Bocage Tactics II: This product contains one 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboard, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 148 die-cut mostly American counters.  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $49.95 (far more than the product is worth).

Bocage Tactics III:  This product contains one 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboard, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random leader counters of various nationalities (presumably a vanity countersheet).  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $39.95.

Bocage Tactics IV:  This product contains one 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboard, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut counters that appear to be mostly Japanese and Soviet leader counters.  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $39.95.

Bocage Tactics V:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random leader counters of various nationalities (presumably a vanity countersheet).  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims the scenarios here feature the Waffen SS.

Bocage Tactics VI:  This product contains one 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboard, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random leader counters of various nationalities (presumably a vanity countersheet).  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $39.95.

Bocage Tactics VII:  This product contains one 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboard, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random leader counters of various nationalities (presumably a vanity countersheet).  This tiny scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $39.95.

Bocage Tactics VIII:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random leader counters of various nationalities (presumably a vanity countersheet).  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here focus on fighting around St. Lo.

Bocage Tactics IX:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 140 die-cut random, mostly leader counters of various nationalities.  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here focus on fighting related to Operation Epsom.

Bocage Tactics X:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of 100 die-cut counters (mostly Japanese).  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here focus on fighting involving the 82nd Airborne Division and appears to be a translation to geoboards of some of its All-American series HASL scenarios.

Bocage Tactics XI:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet featuring an unknown number of American counters.  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95.

Bocage Tactics XII:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet of an unknown number of die-cut German and American counters.  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here focus on fighting involving paratroopers and gliders so some of the scenarios here  feature Air Drops. This includes the monster scenario, Mission Boston, discussed above.

Bocage Tactics XIII:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet with an unknown number of die-cut, mostly American counters.  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here involve the 101st Airborne Division at Carentan and may be recycled versions of scenarios from a previous Carentan module.

Bocage Tactics XIV:  This product contains three 12.5″ x 18″ unmounted geoboards, 6 scenarios on cardstock, and a sheet with an unknown number of die-cut, mostly British counters.  This scenario/map pack has a MRSP of $59.95. Critical Hit claims that the scenarios here involve the 101st Airborne Division at Carentan and may be recycled versions of scenarios from a previous Carentan module.
