Description

[Edit] [History]

Second Front depicts the Western Allied campaigns in Italy, France, and Germany from 1943 to 1945. It's a very complex game, building upon the venerable Europa series rules. As usual in Games Research/Design (GR/D) games, the Orders of Battle are excellent. Game play may be slow at times (usually during amphibious invasions), but this game really allows the players to face the grand tactical challenges faced by the opposing commanders at the time.
