Downfall - Setup and overview

Downfall - Setup and overview

[@JordanL4257]

I have this game setup on my table just waiting for someone to do a gameplay vid on. I think i get the basics but it would be great to see it played. I also regret not springing for mounted maps. That was a rookie mistake

[@SnorriHT]

Looks an interesting game, thanks for the intro. However, with my butter fingers, those counters *would* be accidentally rotated ;-)

Found what I think is a historical error on the setup sheet for the OKH. It has the 1st Romanian Army at Stalingrad and the 4th in Conatanta. Those should be swapped as it was the 3rd and 4th Romanian armies at Stalingrad.

Looks very a interesting game, although playtime may be a barrier for me. Might pick it up in GMT sale

Wwii and WGH !!!

[@seansullivan4082]

Thanks, great explanation. Looks like an intriguing two person game in making opposing choices in the east & west but I can see why it is not really suitable for solitaire.

[@WiseGuyHistory]

Yeah it's gonna be tough to solitaire, a lot to manage!

[@drewkennewell4267]

Would love to check this game out (huge John B fan), but unfortunately i'm primarily a solo wargamer :(

[@joeperez3520]

Same here. Solitaire rating at GMT website just not high enough, and too many other games already in the queue.

I received my preorder game today. Between your video ( watched a couple of times ) and a quick perusal of the game rules, I’m not optimistic about this game. It seems to glory in every type of euro-game mechanic and complication. I fear it needed a rules editor. Let’s hope I’m wrong and this becomes a new “classic”.

[@kurtbieri3876]

What do you think is the Mounted Map here almost a compulsory purchase since you always have to turn the counter or does that go well on paper with glass?

[@WiseGuyHistory]

Seems to be fine on plexi. I guess it comes down to preference...

[@Deltium5683]

I see that this is a 2-3 player game, correct? Is it possible to solo?

[@JordanL4257]

It is a two player game. There is no true solo mode.

[@joeperez3520]

@@JordanL4257 GMT's website lists it as only a 4 out of 9 solitaire rating. I had to pass on it.

The British fleet should be in the North Sea, Not the Atlantic.

Good spotting! Luckily I haven't stated yet so have just corrected.
