{"product_id":"to-the-far-shore","title":"To the Far Shore","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an evolution of the Westwar series first introduced by Vanguard Games with Pas de Calais. Other games using a similar system are Tide of Fortune and the Italian Campaign series (Sicily, Salerno, Anzio and Med War).\n\nTo The Far Shore features the Allied invasion at Normandy, Operation Cobra, and the Falaise Pocket.\n\nScale is 1-2 days\/turn (variable because of the Impulse system), 3 km\/hex. Units are regiments\/brigades.\n\nThe game has 2 22\"x34\" maps, 500 counters.\n\nThe heart of the system is the Operations phase where players alternate activating formations (divisions) which execute Orders (Assault, Advance, Maneuver etc.).\n\nPlayers bid for Initiative and there are possibilities for the Reaction player to foil the initiative player's moves by having units react and do spoiling attacks.\n\nLosses can be applied to the HQ of a formation, not only directly to units.\n\nLow counter density, high maneuver. Medium-high complexity.\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 240 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.88 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Schettler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3W (World Wide Wargames)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927126835416,"sku":"SB-D2279F32116D-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\/9z951hshetb72rr0khd0583zkuqd.jpg?v=1785466913","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/to-the-far-shore","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
