This was the code name for a relief attack by Heeresgruppe Don to free the trapped 6th Army in Stalingrad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Axis formations entered with 50,000 men and 250 tanks, while the strength of the Soviet formations was reported to be about three times that. For the enterprise to have any chance of success, the troops in the encirclement had to break out and meet the advancing Axis troops. The breakout had to be precisely coordinated with the advance of the relief troops and was to commence on the cue “Donnerschlag”. The breakout was never ordered and the troops in Stalingrad were never able to be relieved. This sealed their fate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers will be recreating this episode, with the Axis side attempting to secretly establish and reach a meeting point, thus effectively freeing the 6th Army, while the Soviet will try to impede such outcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hex represents 4 kms (2.5 miles) of terrain from side to side.\u003cbr\u003eEach turn represents a period of 1-2 days.\u003cbr\u003eCombat units are mostly Brigades \u0026amp; Regiments for the Soviets and Romanians, Battalions \u0026amp; Abteilungen for the Germans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the designer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"VUCA Simulations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41511390740531,"sku":"41511390740531","price":109.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic6878926.jpg?v=1700232731"},{"product_id":"the-chase-of-the-bismarck-operation-rheinubung-1941-box-damage","title":"The Chase of the Bismarck: Operation Rheinübung 1941 (Box Damage)","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n   \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/patrick-gebhardt\"\u003ePatrick Gebhardt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/jack-greene\"\u003eJack Greene\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/vuca-simulations\"\u003eVUCA Simulations\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e120-360 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n         \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n         \u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e353326\/chase-bismarck-operation-rheinubung-1941\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/353326\/chase-bismarck-operation-rheinubung-1941\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n         \u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n   \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eChase of the Bismarck is played in turns, each representing nearly five hours of real time.
