Bundeswehr: Northern Germany, late 1970's (1977)

About this game

Bundeswehr is a battalion/regimental level simulation of hypothetical combat in Northern Germany in the 1970's. This area has been chosen primarily because of its geographic location. If Soviet forces succeed in their advance across the North German Plain, they could link up with Soviet forces from Southern Germany and the Hamburg area in a concerted effort to push into Western Europe. Scale: one mile hexes, 12 hour turns. Quad game, part of Modern Battles II: Four Contemporary Conflicts, along with The Battle for Jerusalem 1967, DMZ: The Battle for South Korea, late 1970s, Yugoslavia: The Battles for Zagreb, 1979

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 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.
