Embark on an epic gaming journey with GMT Games' 'The Last Hundred Yards, Volume 4 - Battles on the Russian Front'. This is the fourth installment in the renowned 'The Last Hundred Yards' series. It brings to life the major campaigns and missions from the second half of the eastern war, making its mark by introducing the Russian army to the series for the very first time. Immerse yourself in a series of missions that recreate the intense battles. Some simulate the October 1943 fights in the Ukraine near Krivoi Rog, while others spotlight the Russian 1944 summer offensive, Operation Bagration. The game also features all major Russian armor from late 1942 onwards, along with some additional late - war German armored vehicles.
COMPONENTS:
- 7 double - sided geomorphic maps that offer diverse terrains for strategic play.
- 1 9/16” counter sheet and 2 ½ 3/4” counter sheets to represent various military units.

Using this game is a breeze. First, lay out the double - sided geomorphic maps on a flat surface. These maps set the stage for your battles. Then, grab the counter sheets and place the counters on the map according to the mission you've chosen from the 9 Missions Cards. The full - color Rules booklet and Playbook are your best friends here; they'll explain how to move your units, conduct battles, and win the mission. Use the Combat/Terrain Charts to figure out how well your units will perform in different situations, and roll the 4 dice when needed for random events.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the maps flat to avoid creasing. Store the counter sheets in a box or envelope to prevent them from getting bent or lost. Make sure to keep the booklets and cards away from food and drinks to avoid spills. And always put everything back in its place after you're done playing to keep it organized for the next game.
