Publisher Blurb: Discover history by playing it! You can simulate heroic infantry battles set in the second world war thanks to this simple and intuitive game system. The rules include army lists covering Americans, British, Russians and Germans. From the Red Devils to the Fallschirmjager, from the rangers to the Commandos you'll find a total of 12 armies inside. Each weapon has been classified and given a points value so as to offer a gaming experience that is both balanced and historically accurate. Tables have been reduced to a minimum and the whole system is based on the addition and subtraction of six-sided dice. Inside you'll also find five standard scenarios that represent some typical missions: Recon, Occupation, Conquest,. Saving Wounded Companions and Recovering Top-Secret Documents. Lots of variety to provide you with hours of fun!
