Description
Get ready to experience the intense and brutal battle for Manila in 1945, a pivotal moment in World War II's Pacific Theater. In this solo game, you'll take charge of the American forces as they clash with the Japanese in a fight for control of the city. The game system cleverly handles the Japanese side, offering a unique and unpredictable challenge each time you play. With random events, uncertain supply deliveries, and unknown enemy strengths, every turn presents a new test of your strategic skills. As you navigate the urban jungle, you'll need to balance the need for rapid victory with the risks of exhausting your units and dwindling morale. The deeper you push into the city, the fiercer the resistance becomes, and the more challenging it gets to secure a win. The game's nine-turn campaign covers the American assault on the city, from the outskirts to the heavily fortified government buildings. With a simple ruleset and quick setup time of under 15 minutes, this game is accessible to players of all levels, from newcomers to seasoned wargamers. Whether you're looking for a thrilling solo experience or a chance to delve into a pivotal moment in history, Manila: The Savage Streets, 1945 delivers. Designed by Michael Rinella and published in 2024, this game offers a fresh take on a pivotal battle, one that's been depicted in other games but never in a solo format. The result is a game that's both historically grounded and excitingly unpredictable. With a playtime of 120 to 240 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the action and make the tough decisions that will determine the fate of Manila. Will you be able to secure a victory and spare the city from destruction, or will the brutal fighting prove too much to overcome? The choice is yours in Manila: The Savage Streets, 1945.
