About the game
What you do in a play session
Check out this complete module from the World at War series, Blood and Bridges! Things are intense here: Soviet troops are advancing at full steam through Western Europe, targeting the bridges in the Rhine River Valley. The mission is yours and the British forces' (BAOR): hold the advance and prevent the threat from reaching Great Britain. Forget the hassle, this game comes ready to play, with a brand-new rulebook that covers all the old rules and adds new features to make the battlefield even more dynamic. Get ready to see cutting-edge units in action like the Chieftain and Challenger tanks, Lynx helicopters, and Tornado fighters on the British side, facing the feared T-80s, BMP-2s, and Hind helicopters on the Soviet side. Artillery rules have been boosted with MLRS and electronic warfare, and to add that touch of chaos that real war has, there's even the 'battlefield chaos' effect! When you draw this card, a dice roll decides if the weather will turn, if there will be extra missions, shell-shocked troops, or a brilliant plan emerging out of nowhere. The objective is clear: hold these bridges or see enemy armor on the English Channel. With 352 counters, a 22x34 inch map, 12 scenarios, and quality components, Blood and Bridges promises an intense and engaging modern war experience for strategy enthusiasts. Ready to defend Europe?
