📖 About This Game

From the game rules : Smithereens : The End of World War II in Europe is a simulation of the last five months of the World War II on that continent.

This is a two- or multi-player strategic level game of low-intermediate complexity.

The German controls the armed forces of the Third Reich and its few remaining allies (Hungarians and Italian Fascists." 1 hex = 20 miles ; 1 turn = half a month ; 512 counters 20 miles/hex 2 weeks/turn 512 counters Two 34"x22" maps
