A Campaign Supplement  
For
Five Men in Normandy 
 
 
 
 
 
Written by Tom Mecredy 
 
Leningrad, January 1944 
Army Group North is in full retreat. Overloaded trucks and tanks 
stream towards the Panther Line, with columns of dejected
landsers 
trudging in their wake. 
 
The offensive launched in December ‘43 shattered the
Wehrmacht’s 
tenuous hold on the city and allowed the Red Army to relieve the 
city’s emaciated inhabitants.  
 
Abandoning tonnes of military materiel, the crippled Army Group 
North races for the battered remains of the Panther Line at Narva.  
 
Blitzfreeze pits your band of half-starved, bone-tired veterans 
against the elements and the encroaching Red Army in a battle for 
survival that can only have one winner.

Introduction 
Blitzfreeze is a narrative campaign expansion for Five Men in 
Normandy. You will take command of a small group of misfits, staggering 
across the frozen wasteland between Leningrad and Narva, desperate to 
reach the comparative safety of the new front line.  
 
It is primarily designed for solo play, or with a second player taking 
command of the Soviet antagonists.  
 
Games are played using the
Combat Rules
on pages from 5-22 of the Five 
Men in Normandy core rulebook.
