With this Expansion Kit to VPG's popular No Retreat! game, designer Carl Paradis completes his story by adding more cards, counters, and scenarios to bring the curtain down in high style. Notice: NA BERLIN! is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of No Retreat!: The Russian Front 1941-1944 to use this expansion kit. Game Components: One 8.5" x 11" color game map extension 16 color, 5/8" square counters 8 new cards One rules sheet 2 new scenarios

Questions and answers
Na Berlin! supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Na Berlin! is 55 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Na Berlin! for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Na Berlin! has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
