Memoir 44 – Tigers in the Snow (Exp.) (engl.)

Description

Memoir 44 – Tigers in the Snow (Exp.) (engl.) expands the base game with a scenario set during the Soviet advance towards the Baltic coast in 1944. Players experience the strategic challenge of the Courland Pocket, where German forces were ordered to entrench despite calls for evacuation. Requires Memoir ’44 and the Operation Overlord expansion or two copies of Memoir ’44 to play.

Hot on the heels of their success in Operatsiya Bagration, Soviet forces struck deep towards the Baltic coast, rapidly severing communications between German Army Group North and what little was left of Army Group Center.

By early October 1944, the Soviets were in view of the Baltic Sea, near the port of Memel, definitively cutting off Army Group North from any retreat route through East Prussia.

Despite Guderian’s plea for an evacuation by sea and subsequent redeployment in Central Europe where forces were desperately needed to help stabilize an increasingly dicey situation, Hitler stubbornly refused.

Instead, he ordered the 200,000+ German troops to entrench themselves, in the hope of using the Courland Pocket as a springboard for a future offensive.

NOT A STAND ALONE GAME! Requires one copy of Memoir ’44 and the Operation Overlord expansion, or two full copies of Memoir ’44

Purists wishing to use figures all of the proper color will also need 2 copies of the Eastern Front for Tigers in the Snow, and 1 copy of the Mediterranean Theater for Operation Market Garden, though these are not required to play the game.
