“Less Than 60 Miles”, Countersheets and Scenarios

Here’s a low-res, sneak peek of the countersheets, ready for production print…..real Grognards should notice that US 4th Infantry Division is included.

Moreover, here’s the Campaigns and Scenarios List 🙂

  • The Day That Never Comes, three Warsaw Pact Armies against US V Corps (Full or Short Campaign).
  • One Minute to Midnight, all-out chemical and nuclear warfare after several weeks of build-up (Full Campaign).
  • The Eleventh Hour, the first desperate hours of US 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
  • Steps of Our Fathers, West German 5th Panzer Division finds itself on Warsaw Pact’s main attack axis.
  • Spearhead, US 3rd Armored Division must stop 8th Guards Army and send reinforcements North

DEFCON 1 is getting near…..reserve a copy by writing to info@TRLGames.com or Reporting for Duty on this BoardGameGeek thread.

“Less Than 60 Miles” Production Print

Yes, printing of combat equipment has started! First completed parts will be:

  • Box, standard 31x23x5 cm….cheaper to ship than “1985: Under an Iron Sky”.
  • 40 Action and Event Cards, affecting both NATO and Warsaw Pact.

As already happened for “1985”, this is a limited print run….if you wish to reserve a copy, send an email to info@TRLGames.com or write “Reporting for Duty!” in this BoardGameGeek thread.

“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.
  • Scenario 4 – The Day That Never Comes
    The critical first 48 hours of war.
  • Campaign 1 – OPLAN 33001
    After 40 years of planning and maneuvers, this is not a drill anymore.

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.

For example, we’re still discussing the possibility of adding US 4th Infantry Division to NATO OOB, as reinforcements starting from D+9. We’ll see what happens 🙂
