Guderian's Last Gamble

Last Gamble covers the last German offensive of the war, Operation Solstice, Feb. 1945 by the 11thSS Pz army with 300 AFVs. The attack lasted 4 days and succeeded in penetrating the Russian lines near Arnswalde. Stalin was so shocked by this attack, he diverted huge resources to counter it. The objective was to advance towards Landsberg on the Warthe, by way of Arnswalde and Berlinchen, forcing the Russians to withdraw from the Oder. Each hex represents 1.5 miles, each turn is 12 hours. German units are either battalion or regimental size, while Russian units are all regiments. Many what if options are included, including the arrival of the 2SS Pz Corps! The first edition of the game comes with one 10"x16" map and 127 counters. The second edition comes with one 11"x17" map and 250 counters.
