Thin Red Line Games - Less Then 60 Miles

Description: From BGG Taking its roots from SPI’s Central Front and NATO: Division Commander, Less Than 60 Miles is the first of an operational simulation series focused on Command, Control and Communication.All the elements of modern mechanized warfare are covered: Chemical and Nuclear Weapons, Attack Helicopters, Engineers, Electronic Warfare, Counter-battery Fire, Ribbon Bridges, Army Doctrines, Reconnaissance units, Close Air Support coordination and more.Several typical wargame mechanics have been reinterpreted, and both sides will fight three equally dangerous foes: the enemy, their own plan and time. Even a simple action can quickly turn into a disaster when facing an opponent using more efficiently the real key to victory: the OODA Loop theorized by John Boyd in the early ‘80s and used today as the basis for several military doctrines.Moreover, this is (hopefully) the first module of the C3 Series, covering the whole NATO – Warsaw Pact conflict in Central Europe. Yes, the idea is to have the whole Central Front playable in a gigantic, unmanageable, mind-blowing campaign.Game Highlights5 km per hex, 3 hours per game turnRegiment / Battalion sized ground unitsDetailed Order of Battle set in 1985Close Air Support and Attack HelicoptersCommand, Control & Communication related problemsElectronic and Intelligence WarfareFormation Leaders skills (or absence thereof)Artillery interdiction and Counter-Battery fireChemical and Nuclear warfareSpecific events for Warsaw Pact and NATORandom events to further increase battlefield chaosTwo Campaign Games:"The Day That Never Comes", three Warsaw Pact Armies against US V Corps"One Minute to Midnight", all-out chemical and nuclear warfare after several weeks of tension and build-upThree Smaller Scenarios:"The Eleventh Hour", the first desperate hours of US 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment"Steps of Our Fathers", West German 5th Panzer Division finds itself on the main attack axis"Spearhead", US 3rd Armored Division must stop 8th Guards Army and send reinforcements NorthGame Components (1st edition)98×55 cm matte plasticized map, covering US V Corps area of responsibility1056 5/8″ matte plasticized counters (6 sheets with 176 counters)40 Action and Event Cards36 pages Rules Booklet28 pages Scenarios & Designer’s Notes Booklet2x 8 pages Charts & Tables booklets4x Player Aid Charts (Ground combat Chart, US V Corps Order of Battle, Central Front Order of Battle, Time Track)2x 10-sided dice10x zipbags
