{"product_id":"blood-iron","title":"Blood \u0026 Iron","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlood \u0026amp; Iron: The Battle of Koniggratz, 1866, was the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War, in which the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire. Taking place near Königgrätz and Sadowa in Bohemia on 3 July 1866, it was an example of battlefield concentration, a convergence of multiple units at the same location to trap and\/or destroy an enemy force between them.\n\nThere are some extensive rules for cavalry charges, artillery, morale loss, and weather effects.  The game also includes a number of 'what if?' scenarios which include alternate orders of battle as well as the historical one.\n\nGame length and victory conditions are determined by the scenario being played.  Victory usually relies on capture of geographical objectives and\/or elimination of opponent's forces.\n\nThe game was first published as a supplement to Command Magazine Issue #21 Mar-Apr 1993.\n\nNot to be confused with 3W's Blood and Iron, this game is a two-player wargame covering the battle of Koniggratz (3 July 1866), the decisive battle of the 7 Weeks War between Austria and Prussia.\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 1 hours\nHex: 500 yards \/ 457 meters\nUnits: Brigade\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 22 x 34\" full-color mapsheet\nOne dual-side printed countersheet (240 1\/2\" counters - 200 for Blood \u0026amp; Iron, 6 for Tet '68 \u0026amp; 34 for Gettysburg)\nOne 24-page Blood \u0026amp; Iron rulebook\nOne 12-page Lost Victory Study Booklet (Designers Notes)\nTwo 4-page dual-side printed Player Aid Cards\nOne 10-sided die\n\nSolitaire Suitability: Medium\nComplexity Level: Medium\nPlayers: 2 or more\nPlaying Time: 2-12 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.48 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paul Dangel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTR Corp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926326837464,"sku":"SB-7E371DA79D71-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/y7q7c5q5f0squh0hztqiawpc0d60.jpg?v=1785460310","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/blood-iron","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
