{"product_id":"last-blitzkrieg","title":"Last Blitzkrieg","description":"\u003cp\u003eLast Blitzkrieg is the first entry in the new Series: Battalion Combat (MMP), which simulates combat in World War II (and beyond) at the battalion scale. Its subject is the German Ardennes offensive Wacht Am Rhein (the Battle of the Bulge) on four detailed maps (at 1km per hex) and with 1,680 counters. Last Blitzkrieg covers the battle in a level of detail rarely seen before and does so in a very playable manner. The BCS itself was designed to show that battalion level combat is its own subject, being neither \"small divisions\" nor \"large platoons\". The results may surprise some players, but will hopefully pique the interest of all and allow them to see many things they thought they already knew in a fresh light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Battalion Combat Series concepts include:\u003cbr\u003e\nObjectives\u003cbr\u003e\nRecon Units\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentrated Armor and Support\u003cbr\u003e\nPrepared Defense\u003cbr\u003e\nMSRs and Combat Trains\u003cbr\u003e\nSet Piece Combats vs. Shock Attacks vs. Engagements\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery Barrages\u003cbr\u003e\nArtillery Asset Points\u003cbr\u003e\nAttack by Fire\u003cbr\u003e\nSNAFU\u003cbr\u003e\nActivation by Formation\u003cbr\u003e\nTraffic and Coordination\u003cbr\u003e\nFatigue\u003cbr\u003e\nMemory Markers\u003cbr\u003e\nLast Blitzkrieg also adds:\u003cbr\u003e\nBridge Blowing\u003cbr\u003e\nGreif Teams\u003cbr\u003e\nWeather\u003cbr\u003e\nTiger Maintenance Woes\u003cbr\u003e\nVoraus Units\u003cbr\u003e\nGame play commences on 16 December 44 and ends on 31 December 44 (with each turn being one day) allowing the first phase of the Allied counterattack to proceed.
