Panzer Grenadier
Road to Berlin
As 1945 began, the Red Army of Workers and
Peasants prepared for a winter campaign designed
to crush Nazi Germany and bring the Great
Patriotic War to a close. Fighting to end
fascist tyranny and avenge thencl devastation
of their homeland, Soviet soldiers fought
with great determination, while their German
enemies showed desperate courage in the last
months of the Thousand-Year Reich.
Road to Berlin is a complete boxed
game in the Panzer Grenadier
series of World War II tactical combat.
Seventy-five scenarios re-create the furious
battles of 1945, from the opening of the German
counter-offensive in Hungary on New Year’s
Day to the last stand of the panzers in Bohemia
in May. They range in size from very large
to very small.
There are 825 pieces including the
gigantic tanks fielded by both sides. The
Germans bring the Tiger
II plus
other great beasts like the Tiger I, Panther,
Jagdpanther, Hetzer and many more. The Soviets
have their JS-2 and KV-85 heavy tanks, SU-76,
SU-85, SU-122 and JSU-152 assault guns, SU-100
tank destroyers, T-34/85 and Lend-Lease Sherman
medium tanks, and T-70 light tanks.
Four distinct armies have their full order
of battle: the German regular army (Wehrmacht)
and Waffen SS, and the Soviet Guards and Red
Army of Workers and Peasants. Each have their
own troops, leaders and weapons. Smaller contingents
are present for the German
Navy and the remnants of the Royal Hungarian
Army.
There are eight semi-rigid mapboards, the
same type as those found in Eastern
Front and fully compatible with other
games in the series.
