Description
No Retreat 3: The French Front, May/June 1940, drops you into the midst of World War II, where you'll take on the role of either the Allied or German forces. The game is set in 1940, when the German Army launched a surprise attack through the Ardennes Forest, catching the Allies off guard. As a player, you'll command your forces, maneuvering them across a hex grid, with each hex representing about 30 kilometers of terrain. With a playtime of 50 to 240 minutes, No Retreat 3 offers a challenging and unpredictable experience, as you navigate the complexities of war using a combination of campaign and battle card-driven mechanics, dice rolling, and strategic planning. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to board game enthusiasts, and its historical context raises intriguing questions about whether France could have avoided defeat in 1940.
