About the game
What you do in a play session
The game features several scenarios for you to explore. How about focusing on a single front, with the Germans facing the Russians in the East or the Western Allies in the West? Or perhaps diving into the action of both fronts simultaneously, managing the challenges and opportunities of a large-scale conflict? 'Germany '45' goes beyond known history, posing an intriguing question: could the Western Allies have reached Berlin before the Soviets? The icing on the cake is a hypothetical scenario of direct confrontation between the Western Allies and Russia, where Churchill and Truman's diplomacy attempts to prevent communist domination of Europe. It's a chance to rewrite history and test your strategic skills in one of the most tense periods of the 20th century. With dice rolling mechanics to determine the success of actions, a hexagon grid board for tactical movement, and the need to manage resources to move your units, 'Germany '45' promises to be a challenging and rewarding experience for wargame enthusiasts.
