Full publisher description

World at War 85: Operation Red Gauntlet, Crossing the Mighty Weser is an expansion pack for BLOOD AND FURY, the latter being the SECOND volume in The WORLD AT WAR 85 SERIES of games of fast and furious platoon-level combat. Set in 1985, in an alternate history of World War III, when the Warsaw Pact armies storm across the border of East Germany in a powerful attempt to seize northern West Germany, and the whole of Free Europe. Operation Red Gauntlet features nine new game maps and five new scenarios. Four of the scenarios in this expansion can be played with maps from it as well as units and maps from Blood and Fury. One of the expansion scenarios uses eight of the new maps and you will need Volume 1 of the series, Storming the Gap, and its expansions, the Defense of Frankfurt, and Storm and Steel.
