Watch “Keep'em Rolling: Race to the Rhine First Look | World War 2 Wargame | Boardgame | Phalanx Games,” a board game unboxing on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Zilla Blitz on YouTube:
We do a deep dive first look at Keep'Em Rolling Race to the Rhine, the expanded and updated edition of the original Race to the Rhine wargame (boardgame). In this 1- to 4-player game of logistics and combat in 1944 France from Phalanx games, each player controls one Allied leader and attempts to be the first player to get their forces across the Rhine River. We also look at These Are My Credentials, which is a new solitaire game added to the game in this edition.

About Keep'em Rolling: 1944 – Race to the Rhine, from BoardGameGeek:
Assume the role of a legendary Allied commander of World War II, keep the logistics chain working, advance your armies towards the Rhine, and strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Outshine and outpace other Allied generals – and change history by winning the war in 1944, before Christmas!
Keep'em Rolling: Race to the Rhine features Race to the Rhine, a unique, logistics-focused euro-style wargame for 1-4 players (including a solitaire mode as well as optional cards and rules), and a standalone solitaire game – These Are My Credentials – covering the Allied liberation of Brittany.
As one of the historic Allied Commanders, you control several Corps that you must move along predefined, point-to-point routes, liberating cities from Axis control as you do.
Unlike many other wargames covering the liberation of Western Europe, in Race to the Rhine the focus is on planning and logistics. Moving your Corps requires fuel. Defeating Axis units and garrisons en route requires ammo. Feeding your armies as they move forward requires food.
The slower you are in moving to the Rhine, the longer you give the Axis to form a strong defense. But move too quickly and you risk overwhelming your logistical capacity to supply your advance. Whichever Commander can best manage these dual challenges will win the game.
