About the game
Destination Berlin! is a tabletop miniatures ruleset that simulates company-level ground combat on the European fronts from June 1944 to May 1945. The game uses a 1:1000 terrain scale, requiring a large playing area, and miniatures in scales from 1:100 to 1:300, with each model representing a real unit. Each turn equals five minutes of combat. Force balance is maintained through a points system, and the battlefield is generated by a detailed random terrain system for three theaters of operations and nine different operational fronts. The game is divided into three main phases: Command and Control, Movement, and Combat, all featuring mechanics that simulate temporary hesitations, random draws, and firing priorities. The rules are streamlined, focusing on three mobility classes, essential firing modifiers, and artillery missions called by visual estimation. The game includes over twenty optional rules for those seeking greater operational detail or wanting to recreate specific battlefield situations. Ideal for enthusiasts looking for a realistic yet straightforward game, a session lasts from 3 to 6 hours, depending on the size of the forces and familiarity with the rules.
