Hitler's Reich played

 

Game of Hitler's Reich with my Dad tonight.

Been a while since we played this.

A highly abstract but very fun experience with lots of wild swings of fortune but not much like history !

Axis controlled North African coast at one stage from Libya right across to Iraq !

Italy was knocked out of war in 1942 and Spain entered on Axis side.

Op Barbarossa not launched but Soviets not able to take any of Reich except Poland.

Allies too weak (only 5 card hard and all awful) to launch Overlord and Bagration.

We both got caught up in endless Land attacks and Blitzkriegs neglecting to utilize Events much.

Axis (Dad) won in 1945 with Substantial Victory having higher card allowance than Allies.

    1. With Dad choosing not to launch Op Barbarossa (must be done in 1941) it opened up a whole gamut of alternatives and lots of naval battles.

  2. Looks like an interesting game. The board reminds me of Risk, which is a game I loved playing as a kid. Fun times!
