John Prados' Third Reich
Out Of Stock
Description
Avalanche Press' re-release of the original classic. This is a significant overhaul based on the Avalon Hill 3R, and has nothing to do with the later Advanced 3R. There has been dramatic simplification and streamlining, however. Gone is the CRT, replaced by a Columbia-esque 'roll lots of dice' combat resolution system. The whole front/option system has been revised with an 'HQ activation marker' system: each nation buys activation markers for HQs, land, and air units, and puts them in a cup. Turn order is then determined by draws. Naval and air systems have been overhauled and simplified: sea zones now regulate movement. Tactical air support is now limited to being equal to the strength of the attacker/defender, not three times. Also includes 1938 (Spanish Civil War boils over to a general European conflict) and 1945 scenarios (Western Allies and Russia fall out after collapse of Germany). - BoardGameGeek
