The Classics
This page contains scenarios and file downloads for the out-of-print game Advanced Third Reich and to a lesser extent Empire of the Rising Sun.
These supporting files are being made available for use in PBEM games that are used in conjunction with Warplanner v2,
the A World At War computer program developed by Chris Goldfarb.
The Advanced Third Reich Campaign Game Variants has been included on this page and in the main download of Warplanner
v2 at www.warplanner.com. Additionally, there is a Campaign Game Research,
and both the 1942/1944 A3R scenarios. Excerpt from the A3R game box back cover:
What if... France had extended the Maginot Line to the Ardennes? Hitler had given in to Stalin in the Balkans and invaded Britain? Mussolini had appointed decent commanders? Japan had attacked Britain or Russia in 1941? German air supply capacity had lived up to Goering's boasts? Russia hadn't received aid from the West? Germany had accelerated the development of jets or V-weapons? The atomic bomb had been used during the war in Europe? YOU had been in command?
Advanced Third Reich, the ultimate strategic game, lets you answer these questions and hundreds more. Building on the framework of Avalon Hill's award-winning game The Rise And Decline Of The Third Reich, first published in 1974, Advanced Third Reich simulates the military, economic, political, diplomatic and technical aspects of the Second World War on an unprecedented scale.
Excerpt from the ERS game box back cover:
What if... The American carriers had been at Pearl Harbor? Japan had won the battle of Midway? China had collapsed under Japanese pressure? Japan had invaded Australia? Russia had attacked Japan in Manchuria? Germany and Japan had cooperated against Britain or Russia? Germany's advanced submarines had been available in 1943? Roosevelt had lost the 1944 Presidential election? Hitler had developed the atomic bomb first? YOU had been in command?
Empire Of The Rising Sun, the long-awaited companion game to Advanced Third Reich, let's you answer these questions and many more. Empire Of The Rising Sun simulates the economical, political and technical aspects of the Second World War in the Pacific, and can be combined with Advanced Third Reich to recreate the entire war. Also included are research rules for Advanced Third Reich, along with a fifth counter sheet, to allow players to secretly research air,
