To the Rhine - a Rapid Fire WW2 game played in August 2025


Here are some photos of the game we recently put on at the Legendary Wargames cabin in Allerton, Bradford. It was played over the full weekend and resulted in a win for the German players as they delayed the Allied forces long enough to prepare the explosives on the last bridge across the Rhine.
