Downfall of the Third Reich

A strategic, army-level simulation of the European Theater in World War II for two or three players. Play proceeds through twenty-two three-month turns from winter 1940, with players directing major powers and later entrants as they join the conflict. Each side manages supply, reinforcements, armor production, air missions, development and—where applicable—submarine operations and lend-lease. Movement and combat are resolved without separate action costs but depend on supply and available mission resources for strategic bombing and submarine warfare. Games aim for a historically grounded, streamlined experience that resolves the campaign in a few hours.
