Lods 1914: Blitzkrieg in the East (1984)

About this game

This game depicts the encirclement of the German XXV Reserve Corps southeast of the town of Lods in POLAND. This is a classic battle of maneuver where the Germans initially overwhelmed the Russian forces in front of them only to have the Russians send in reinforcements only to have the encircled Germans breakout. Published in The Wargamer Magazine issue 29.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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.
