📖 About This Game

The second and final issue of Backblast. This 42 page issue had several articles and 8 scenarios. The scenarios are a diverse lot covering both the East & West fronts, and two are based on island war in the Pacific. Compared to more modern scenarios several of these are long (10+ turns). The time frame spanned by the scenarios is 1940-1945. Awakening the Spring is a 4 board, 10 turn scenario set in Hungary, pitting Tigers and Panthers against heavy tanks. Scenario 10 was later reprinted in Out of the Attic.
