Lebensraum The War For Europe 1941-1945

Lebensraum! is an exciting grand - strategic board game with moderate complexity. It depicts the epic war between Nazi Germany and the Allied Nations. The journey starts with Germany's invasion of the USSR in late June 1941 and leads all the way to the final battles in Berlin in 1945. The game features both the East and West Fronts. You can choose from various small (3 to 13 - turn) historical scenarios, like Barbarossa in the East and Italy in the West. Or, you can opt for individual front campaigns or a combined East - West front campaign. At the heart of the game, players control army groups and their subordinate armies. Leadership is key, as each player has a pool of named and rated leaders. It also features airpower, naval support, partisans, production centers, and transportation networks. Turns are quarterly, and the map scale is 50 miles (80km) per hex. This is a new edition of Simulations Canada's Lebensraum and West Front games. They've been updated to fix all known errors, with some small additions, and combined into one game, yet can still be played as separate scenarios. With fresh new artwork, this large - scale strategic game has been revitalized.

How to play: First, choose a scenario or campaign that suits you, whether it's a small historical scenario or a full - fledged campaign. You'll control army groups and assign your leaders to different tasks. In each quarterly turn, manage your forces, use airpower and naval support, and interact with partisans. Pay attention to production centers and transportation networks to keep your forces supplied. Notice: Read the rules carefully before starting. Don't forget to use your leaders effectively as they can make a big difference. Maintenance: Keep the game components clean and dry. Store the game in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the map and cards.
