1944: Race to the Rhine

The game is based on the historical events of the year 1944. The players, in the roles of the Allied commanders, take part in a true race to the Rhine. Whoever reaches the river before wins the game and ends World War II before Christmas. But there is little time, since the Axis defense is getting stronger and stronger, and the window of opportunity may not be open much more.

Each player controls three or four Bodies and the players move in turns. In each turn, players can do two actions: move their Bodies (and fight in a battle, if they encounter Axis troops), get supplies, get transport trucks, and ensure air supremacy. The first to cross the Rhine River wins.
