NUTS! Alamo Scouts & the Raid at Cabanatuan

NUTS Alamo Scouts is a campaign book for the NUTS WW2 skirmish tabletop wargame system, and is intended for squad to platoon level games that put you in command of a group of special forces units in the Pacific Theatre of War.

In the Pacific Theater of WWII, the vast jungles, hostile terrain, and fiercely entrenched Japanese forces required specialized units to conduct reconnaissance, sabotage, and rescue operations deep behind enemy lines. Among the U.S. Army’s most elite and effective units were the Alamo Scouts, a small but highly skilled group operating under the Sixth Army in General Douglas MacArthur's command.

This game supplement brings the elite Alamo Scouts—one of the most effective U.S. reconnaissance units of World War II—into your NUTS! WW2 games. Designed for use in the Pacific Theater, this book provides players with historical background, mission scenarios, and campaign rules tailored to the Scouts’ operations. You can incorporate Alamo Scout missions into existing Pacific campaigns or run a dedicated Behind Enemy Lines Recon Campaign, highlighting stealth, precision, and small-team tactics.

In this book, you’ll find:

A timeline of the Alamo Scouts and their key operations. Organization details, including team compositions and mission roles. Information on the Scouts' weapons and tactics. Historical Pacific campaigns where the Scouts operated. Sample missions and a recon-focused campaign for your games.

This supplement is perfect for players who want to focus on reconnaissance, POW rescues, and daring raids in dense jungle terrain.
