{"product_id":"operation-felix","title":"Operation Felix","description":"\u003cp\u003eGame on the invasion of Gibraltar by the Germans in 1940\/41. This game was published in Strategy \u0026amp; Tactics magazine #153, along with Zama.\n\nOperation Felix is a \"what if...\" game on the invasion of Gibraltar by the Germans in 1940\/41, shortly after the fall of France. Historically, it was the option Hitler elected against, putting political calculations ahead of military realities in his attempt to dominate Europe. This recasting of history assumes that Hitler made the defeat of Britain his top priority in 1940-41. Instead of angling for negotiations with His Majesty's government after Dunkirk, The Fuhrer issues orders to German High Command to take the war to the Commonwealth wherever it could. The one obvious target that is close at hand, and has considerable military and political value, is the Rock of Gibraltar, the gateway to the western Mediterranean Sea.\n\nScenarios cover a July 1940 attack, the more probable December 1940 invasion, and a Spanish assault (with a little help from German allies). Optional rules for SS reinforcements and greater German amphibious capacity.\n\nGame scale:\nhex scale = 250 meters\/hex side to side \ntime = one day per game turn \nstrength = platoon\/company\/battalion sized units\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.40 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christopher Cummins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Decision Games (I)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925636415704,"sku":"SB-490E97FAED5D-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\/w2ge13yujpsur9tf7paxlff5pzyu.jpg?v=1785458935","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/operation-felix","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
