World At War 85: Storming the Gap - The Expansion Pack
World At War 85: Storming the Gap - The Expansion Pack
Three Modules, One Box
The Soviet 79th Guards Tank Division is one river short of Frankfurt. A Czech army is coming into southwestern Germany. And behind both of them a campaign is running that decides where either of them goes next.
All three are yours.
Defense of Frankfurt
The 79th Guards makes its final push, and NATO has to stop it before it reaches the Main River bridges. Urban fighting, prepared positions, and objectives worth holding until there is nobody left to hold them.
Storm and Steel: Second Wave
Drawn from the novel of the same name. Czech Army formations attack southwestern Germany while West German reinforcements move to meet them, fought on new maps built for the closer country down there.
Drive on Giessen
An operational campaign running from Eisenach in East Germany to Giessen in the west, with hidden movement and air reconnaissance at the campaign level. The tactical battles link back into it, so what happens on the table changes what the campaign map looks like afterwards.
The Storming the Gap Expansion Pack is an expansion for the World At War 85 series. You need World At War 85: Storming the Gap to play it.
