Berlin 1945: The Fall of the Reichstag

Berlin 1945: The Fall of the Reichstag

2025·Jose Antonio Rivero

2 players
60 - 90 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Berlin 1945: La Caida del Reichstag is a war simulation game for two players that recreates the battle of Berlin from April 21 to May 2 1945: the last major battle that marked end of World War II. One player represents the German army and the other the Soviet army. This is a light wargame which wisely simulates in a short playing time ( around 60 minutes) the difficulties the Soviets found in the street fightings all over the big city among ruins against the desperate struggle of the defending disjointed remnants of a once mighty German army. Game mechanisms are fresh and rarely seemed in other wargames of the WW2. Quick, fun and enjoyable experience for both players. No dice to bother not checking busy combat charts no roll die modifiers. Just your brain to analize the best move, randomness is then very limited and most of times you have control on it. In this game you don't win by luck but by playing smart. Game play differences from Berlin 1945 (2022 Bonsai version): There are some changes in the set up, in the input of reinforcements, in some counters (in NAC there are elite Soviet units), in the effects of some of the event cards, the way to mark the movement orders differs and a small change in victory conditions. -description from designer
