{"product_id":"no-retreat-the-russian-front","title":"No Retreat! The Russian Front","description":"\u003cp\u003e(from GMT's website:)\n\nNo Retreat: The Russian Front is a new deluxe edition of the  two-player Victory Point Games 2008 CSR Award Nominee wargame that 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.  This edition combines both the original game and its two extensions (Na Berlin! and No Surrender!) using deluxe components of “Twilight Struggle Deluxe Edition” quality. With only 40 Army\/Front sized counters for the Tournament game, and 70 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.\n\nEach turn is alight with intriguing on-board challenges plus the surprise of card hand Events as players vie to win in one of three different ways.\n\nIn 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.\n\nNeither side can afford the disgrace of yielding an inch of ground to their hated foe, so your orders are: “No Retreat!”\n\nComponents:\n\n     One Standard size mounted map\n     Two Counter Sheets\n     One deck of 55 Playing Cards\n     Rule booklet\n     Scenario booklet\n     Player Aid Cards\n     Two 6-sided dice (1 black and 1 white)\n\n\nTIME SCALE: 2 months per turn\nMAP SCALE: 100km \/ 60 miles per hex\nUNIT SCALE: Armies and Fronts\nNUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2\n\nDESIGNER: Carl Paradis\nDEVELOPER: Alan Emrich \u0026amp; Carl Paradis\nCOUNTER ART: Mark Simonitch \u0026amp; Carl Paradis\nMAP ART: Mark Simonitch\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 360 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.17 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carl Paradis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909614764248,"sku":"SB-FA0E0AE098E4-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\/1m3epnueopymhds027xey5nklmz9.jpg?v=1785466615","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/no-retreat-the-russian-front","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
