About this game

NO RETREAT

This game is a Strategic game on the Eastern Front of World War II. It is a digital port from the famous and eponym boardgame, No retreat! , designed by Carl Paradis , which retells the story of the titanic struggle between the invading armies of Nazi Germany versus Communist Russia during WW2 at a player-friendly and manageable level of scope and difficulty. With only 70 Army/Front sized counters for the whole campaign, and with very low stacking, it’s a quick-playing yet realistic affair that favours the strategic and offensive-minded player. The moderate complexity of the game, the light number of armies and the contained size of the map allows easier onboarding, fast play and fun experience. In a skillfully blended collation of classic hex-based wargaming and modern card-driven simulations, No Retreat: The Russian Front stays truly story-centric, providing the proper feel of sweeping maneuvers, exploitation and encirclements across the vast steppes and forests of Russia. With a simple-yet-innovative economic model, players will also feel the growing might and sophistication of the Russian’s Red Army, and the degradation of the once-invincible German Wehrmacht, over the epic four year sweep of time that this merciless campaign was fought. See the Axis hordes deeply invade Russia and encircle ill-prepared Soviet units. Watch the Red army resist and slowly acquire experience to finally push back the Germans up to Berlin ! Each turn is alight with intriguing on-board challenges plus the surprise of 55 cards hand Events as players vie to win in one of three different ways.
