![]() Any Bulge game still needs to give the Germans an attempt at trying (and this doesn't include taking Liege). This is a similar vein to the Battle of the Bulge, where any remote 20/20 hindsight would show that the Germans had a slim to no chance of reaching Antwerp. To supplement this sudden death condition, the Germans can achieve less loftier goals as they put a dent into the Soviet's greater goal of fully capturing Budapest and moving onto Vienna. While straightforward (and supposedly historical accurate), it may not directly translate to game terms where there needs to be explicit terms on who and how a player wins but also making it relatively competitive for both sides. As established in the PLS victory conditions, its sudden death once the Axis establish an MSR with a Budapest Garrison HQ, not unlike the similar situation of Brazen Chariots which had similar goals (relieve an entrapped garrison). Certainly even the detailed planning of approach routes, number of troops, and logistics still fell into this vague, "relieve Budapest". So even the original communication was vague in its exact "Victory Condition". The Führer expects you to relieve Budapest and I personally expect you not to cause me disappointment."

Per Számvéber, Himmler issued this telegram to General Otto Grille, commander of the IV SS Panzer Corps that was to spearhead the attack: I've touched on victory conditions and my struggle with them: The Moment it Clicks.Less Zen than "OK, next!".įrom the historical perspective, there was one goal: relieve Budapest. Here, I struggled through the week trying to reason out levels of victory conditions with Dean. They were all in place and fell along historic lines - RELIEVE BUDAPEST, but massaged into more competitive terms for both sides. This is still several weeks away, but the rampdown process has begun.Īnother aspect that got reviewed were the Victory Conditions for the campaign and smaller scenarios. Time to put this one to bed and get all the ducks in a row to send to the MMP heads for pre-order preparation. Overall the flow and pace is working well. Things are looking good playtesting-wise with slight changes to the opening moves by the 3rd SS against the detachment of the 18th Tank Corps around Dunaalmas. Dean's wrapping up Panzers Last Stand to get this to final submission. ![]()
