About the game
In the vein of Old School Tactical Vol 2's Phantom Division we present Red Blitz. To be sold during the Kickstarter for Old School Tactical Vol I 2nd Edition, this boxed expansion will add more scenarios that occur during the vicious fighting of Operation Bagration in the summer of 1944. Specifically, there are 6 challenging new scenarios, and an extended battle to be gamed on Vol I's Map 1. The extended battle is a multi-part legacy scenario, where the day's gains remain in your hands and reinforcements are fed into the battle. A running score is kept and the winning side is determined at the end of all the rounds. The "one-off" scenarios are fought on 4 new pocket maps, depicting summer and winter terrain. Additionally, Red Blitz presents new combatants, including the SU-76M, SU-85, OT-34, PT34, ISU-152, IS-2, StuH-42, Panther, and the Nashorn. Red Blitz Includes: 4 new 11" x 17" game maps (2 x summer and 2 x winter). a playbook with 6 new scenarios and a separate, new campaign. a sheet of gorgeous counters, including--but not limited to-- the new units cited above. a box to keep everything safe and warm. This is an expansion. You must own Old School Tactical Vol I 2nd Edition to play.
