WORLD AT WAR #108: West Front 1944: Decision on the Rhine

Two-player game of the campaigns along the Rhine in the winter of 1944-45 (December to March). The Allies are attempting to establish bridgeheads across the Rhine River while the Germans are planning for their Ardennes counteroffensive. The game uses a variant of the Boots/Manstein's War system to model command, control, and logistics on an operational scale. Both players have a wide range of operational plans that they can execute to attempt to seize certain strategic objectives. Each game turn represents two weeks. Each hex on the map represents 27 kilometers (17 miles) from side to opposite side. Units are primarily corps. Air units (Allied numbered air forces and German Fliegerkorps) represent air cover for a sector of the front. Contains 22x34 inch game map and a sheet of 176 5/8 inch counters.
