No Retreat ! The Russian Front game played

Played this excellent game with my Dad tonight.

We managed 11 full turns calling it a Draw on Turn 12 when Initiative shifts to Soviets as neither of us got an Auto-win.

Forgot how slick, enjoyable and absorbing this title is.

Germans had pressed Ivans back across the board but failed to take enough Cities or Objectives for the win although they came within one Victory Point on turn 9.

Love the low unit count in this game and nice use of cards (not a CDG but card 'enhanced')

Nice feel to the game with great Ostfront flavour with fairly low rules overhead (just wish the VP system was explained a tad better).






Early moves with Russians rather sparse on southern sector
