“Less Than 60 Miles” – Some tidbits

Work on Less Than 60 Miles is proceeding well on several fronts…Playtest, Designer’s Notes, graphics and more. 

Some fresh details on the scenarios already defined:

  • Scenario 1 – The Eleventh Hour 
    11th Armored Cavalry delay action against 8th Guards Army.
  • Scenario 2 – Steps of Our Fathers
    West German 5th PanzerDivision facing Warsaw Pact’s main thrust by 1st Guards Tank Army.
  • Scenario 3 – Spearhead
    US 3rd Armored Division must contain Soviet 8th Guards Army and send reinforcements North.
  • Campaign 1 – The Day That Never Comes
    After 40 years of planning and maneuvers, this is not a drill anymore.
  • Campaign 2 – One Minute To Midnight
    After weeks of growing tension, the nightmare of Nuclear conflict becomes reality.

On the graphics side, here’s a snapshot of several components at their final version…..Actually, I’ve learned that you can label a version as “Final” only after production print has been completed.
