Advanced Third Reich (1992)

About this game

Advanced Third Reich is a board wargame published originally by The Avalon Hill Game Co. The game is a rewrite of Third Reich, and is a simulation of the European and African theaters of World War II. In 2003 GMT Games published A World at War, a substantially revamped and streamlined version of Advanced Third Reich, designed by Bruce Harper. Designed to reflect the corps scale, a turn represents three months of movement and fighting.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 4.5/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
