Zhukov’s Final Victory/Konev’s Gambit from High Flying Dice Games

Feb 2, 2012

High Flying Dice Games has announced the release of a two-in-one pack tackling the final battle for WWII Berlin between the Russians and Germans. Zhukov’s Final Victory/Konev’s Gambit is suitable for one to three players and simulates the last days of the Soviet push into the center of the German Reich.

From HFD Games:

Zhukov’s Final Victory is a low complexity level, two-player wargame on the battle for the capital of Nazi Germany, Berlin. In mid- April of 1945, Marshall Zhukov’s 1st Byelorussian Front was poised and aimed like a dagger at the “Heart of the Fascist Beast” the city of Berlin, capital of Nazi Germany.

With thousands of tanks, artillery and soldiers available, the Russian Bear was determined to take the city and end the Great Patriotic War.

Konev’s Gambit is an expansion game for Zhukov’s Final Victory that extends play to include the offensive by Marshall Konev’s 1st Ukrainian Front to take Berlin. Konev’s Gambit is suited for two players, as well as solitaire play.

Both games combined allows for three players as participants to take on the roles of the German Army and the two Soviet Front commanders. The Soviet players will be seeking to not only defeat their German opponent, but see who can be the first to capture Berlin. Looming over all players is the will of the supreme commanders on both sides: Hitler and Stalin. Can you do as well or better than your historical counterpart?
