Description

Operation Veritable: ASL Historical Study 1945 Rhine is a thrilling board game that delves into a lesser-known aspect of World War II, where British and Canadian armies fought to clear German forces from west of the Rhine in early 1945. Designed by Ken Dunn and published in 2003, this game is an expansion for the Advanced Squad Leader series, requiring ownership of the ASL Rulebook and other specific components. The game features a mix of scenarios, including some that take place on standard geomorphic mapboards and others on a historical mapsheet, which is also used in an intense Campaign game. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, players can expect a challenging and immersive experience. As a wargame with complex rules, Operation Veritable is not for the faint of heart, but experienced board game enthusiasts will appreciate the depth and complexity it offers. The game mechanics, including a hexagon grid and modular board, simulate the harsh conditions faced by the Allied troops and German defenders, such as dense woods, mud, rain, and flooded terrain. With a focus on simulation, the game allows players to explore the intricacies of World War II warfare, making it a must-play for fans of the genre. While it may require some time to learn, the payoff is well worth the effort, offering a unique and engaging gaming experience for two players.
