https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4121/road-rhineCurious to know if anyone else played this Frank Chadwick game from back in the 1970's? It one of the few games that I would set-up and play again several times in a row as it was that good. Its a good 'old style' operational level games, simple to learn and easy to play that still managed to capture the flavour of the campaign.
Supply rules and the use of air-power and reserves in particular were very well done and did not bog the game down in any way. By todays standards, the 2 maps and 1/2" counters are rather drab, but were pretty typical for that period.
Its one of those really good GDW games that I would love to see being 're-done' by someone, but with out massive rule changes, which often happens with re-published games, and then not always making the game any better than the original. Incorporate any errata and improve the graphics and that would be enough.
The nearest game to it that I can see appears to be 'Watch on the Rhine' by CTP in terms of scale, but I'm not able to get a copy to find out!
