No Retreat! Russia

** NO RETREAT ** This game is a Strategic game on the Eastern Front of World War II. It is a digital port from the famous and eponym boardgame, No retreat!, designed by Carl Paradis, which retells the story of the titanic struggle between the invading armies of Nazi Germany versus Communist Russia during WW2 at a player-friendly and manageable level of scope and difficulty. With only 70 Army/Front sized counters for the whole campaign, and with very low stacking, it’s a quick-playing yet realistic affair that favours the strategic and offensive-minded player. The moderate complexity of the game, the light number of armies and the contained size of the map allows easier onboarding, fast play and fun experience. In a skillfully blended collation of classic hex-based wargaming and modern card-driven simulations, No Retreat: The Russian Front stays truly story-centric, providing the proper feel of sweeping maneuvers, exploitation and encirclements across the vast steppes and forests of Russia. With a simple-yet-innovative economic model, players will also feel the growing might and sophistication of the Russian’s Red Army, and the degradation of the once-invincible German Wehrmacht, over the epic four year sweep of time that this merciless campaign was fought. See the Axis hordes deeply invade Russia and encircle ill-prepared Soviet units. Watch the Red army resist and slowly acquire experience to finally push back the Germans up to Berlin !
