“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.
  • 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.

1985: Under an Iron Sky – This Is The End.

As already announced a few days ago, the dramatic events of the last few weeks are coming to an end. Talks for a ceasefire are now taking place in Belgrade, with both sides throwing in the last reserves to gain a tactical advantage on the negotiating table.

Whatever the result of these bitter diplomatic talks, Europe and the World will never be the same. For the third time during this century, European cities are in ruins and tens of thousands lives have been sacrificed on the altar of ideological conflict.

As a privileged witness of these historical events, I think my last duty is to report the key passages of World War Three and thank all the people who helped us during these extraordinary and dramatic circumstances.
