Alsace 1945 (2005)

About this game

Covers the 1945 German offensive in the Alsace region of France (also known as Operation North Wind) that coincided with the more famous 'Battle of the Bulge' to the north. Follows much the same format as Defiant Russia: small box with one 22" X 17" map and 140 1/2" counters. Game also includes four separate scenarios.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 3. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
