Columbia Games Volga Front Expansion of the East Front Game Very Good condition

Description: Volgafront is a folio add-on to Columbia Games EastFront: The War in Russia, 1941-45. It provides an eastern map extension of Russia so that a complete picture of the strategic possibilities during WWII in Germany's fight with the Soviet Union. It also comes with an additional EastFront rulebook and a set of new scenarios that utilize the map extension directly. EastFront: The War in Russia, 1941-45 is required to play with the VolgaFront map. VolgaFront is also part of the EuroFront series.This title uses Columbia Games Block system. While there are variations in the rule sets for each of their games none the less all of their games are based on block system. Basically this means that rather than the traditional use of counters to represent units on the map the game instead uses wooden blocks that stand upright and with unit details only shown on one side of the blocks. This does two things: First it provides an easy way of producing a "fog of war" because your opponent can not tell, save through good memory, what type of unit a specific piece is and it’s current strength. Second, by having the blocks stand on end it provides a way to keep track of a units strength by rotating the block so the current strength is the top number. Most war games have some type of mechanism that lets units take steps in their overall strength. Counters normally have at most two steps because of they only have two sides, however blocks have four and so now you can easily keep track of twice the amount of detail that many other war games provide. With the use of blocks Columbia has provided a way of adding a good deal of depth to their war games without adding further complex layers of bookkeeping and thus allow for interesting and relatively short sessions of play.EastFront: The War in Russia 1941-45 – Second Edition includes most of the VolgaFront map (but not scenarios).Looking for a War Game? Check my other listings. More to come (50 +).A lot of games on eBay are listed with the comment "seems to be complete". All of my games are inventoried to ensure they are complete. This means that small pieces are sorted and counted. In most cases, if there are any missing pieces, I can tell you which pieces are missing. This is time consuming and big dealers cannot invest the necessary time for this amount of detail. My games are priced to be equal to or lower than other listings in the "same general condition" as the ones that I am listing.Expands:EastFront: The War in Russia, 1941-45Expanded by:EuroFront: War in Europe, 1939-45
