Following on the success of No Retreat! Where the Russian Front of World War II beckons & then taking the action to the African Front & then the French Front game designer Carl Paradis presents the fourth chapter in this game series No Retreat 4 The Italian Front This game will be using a mix of all the previous No Retreat! game conceptssystems including some from the solitaire module to depict this long & gruelling campaign with the minimum of fuss & the fastest possible play time Each turn will represent one or two months (depending on the weather) but not every Turn will see major action! So during Frontline lulls very little combat if any will take place but for frontline attrition so these turns will pass in a speedy manner When a side decide to go on the offensive then that specific turn will see a series of movescombatactivations (like was done for NR2); using a variant of the regular No Retreat “ Target Counterblow” rules & markers The important sea invasions will be shown in great detail the German fortified positions also & the long set-pieces battles (like Cassino or Anzio) will be represented correctly without bogging down game play Like in NR3 “ Secret Campaign Plans” will make an appearance with players vying to attain special high command objectives thus getting bonus victory points if the game does not end in an early “ Sudden Death” & continues to the bitter end To make the play surface more easy to use the long Italian peninsula will be represented by a series of separate maps each showing a part of the battleground As the frontline moves north or south players will switch the “play map” map to show the actual areas of operations thus saving a lot of table space It will also be possible under certain circumstances for players to actually change sides in the game (keeping their accumulated Victory points) Thus both will be able to get the chance to be on the “attacking side” if wished for; historically the Germans were mostly on the defensive The Event card system will also be changed a bit with each card allowing multiple possible effectsevents all the cards will be useful even when the main event cannot be used because of Strategic Initiative Bonus Game But wait there is more! For this deluxe edition the Invasion of Sicily will be added as a separate mini-game Very fast-playing & will be an excellent learning or tournament game; that can be also linked to the main campaign game Could the Axis have delayed the Allies longer on the island? & what if only a token holding attack was made with the main landings a short while later on the mainland? Or Sicily completely bypassed altogether? Italian Front Scenario Listing Regular Game The 194345 full campaign Both players will choose a “ Campaign Plan” that will instruct them as to their general objectives; there is a chance that one could also be imposed by the game system in case of failure! A players’ “switch of sides” could also occur because of the plans or player’s will The outcome of the Sicily mini-game can be linked to this scenario Players can also change the Strength of the Armies & rate of reinforcements Historical Game The 194345 full campaign but with the Plan choices limited to the more historically plausible alternatives No switch of sides can occur The Sicily mini-game is not used Short Early game The first part of the 194345 campaign Only the Southern Italian maps will be used & the game will end in Early 1944 (historically after the Anzio invasion petered out) Short Late game The second part of the 194345 campaign Only the Northern Italian maps will be used & the game will Start where the previous “ Early game” scenario stops & continues until the end of the war in 1945 Sicily Game This mini-game can be played “stand alone” or linked to the Regular Game Scenario It also makes for an excellent fast-playing Tournament scenario Components Two 22x 18 Mapboards (mounted & two-sided) One sheet of 88 2-sided square units One sheet of 112 2-sided roundhex markers One rule book (24 pages) One Scenario Book (24 pages) Five Play-aid cards 55 Event Cards Two 6-sided dice Number of Players 2 Ages 14 & up Playing time 6 to 8 hours for a campaign game 1 12 hours for the Sicily mini-game 3 hours for the Short games Scale Each unit is one Division or Corps Each hex is about 20 kilometers from side to side Each turn represents one or two months of real time with 1-week sub-turns during major offensives ...
