Opération Rösselsprung 1944

1870, l’été tragique 1re partie

The Game (French & English):

Wargame with die-cut counters

Capture Tito !

Operation Rösselsprung 1944 features the first phase of the operation led by the airborne troops of the SS-fallschirmjäger battalion 500 to eliminate Tito. This game system, developed for the Raid series, is designed for solo play; the artificial intelligence automatically manages the Yugoslav actions while the player manages the German actions.

The map represents a series of points, between one and several hundred metres apart. A game turn equals 2 day time hours and 5 night time hours; the scenario begins at 6.00 on 25 May 1944 and finishes at 12.00 on 26 May for 12 game turns. The front side of a counter represents full strength or 35-40 German paratroopers, a company of 20-100 Yugoslav partisans, an officer, two anti-air machine guns or two Italian tanks.

Complexity: low to medium

Duration: 90 minutes

Play: Solitary

VaeVictis Magazines have very nice, small Wargames inside (good BGG ratings) with very good looking counters (see product picts). One thing, that could be, is that the gaming map has some little crinkles, because they use the map as an envelope for the game. 

We printed the English Rules for You (in Colour) and send them together with the Magazine!
