Overview

The game is a two-player simulation of the U.S. Ninth Army's February 1945 offensive in the Rhineland area of Germany. The U.S. player gains victory points for occupying German towns and for occupying bridges on the Rhine river. The number of points gained determines the level of victory for both players.

Included are a 22"X34" mapsheet, standard rules for the Victory in the West game system, exclusive rules for Operation Grenade, and 245 1/2" counters.

First published in issue #84 of Strategy & Tactics magazine in 1981.

The game was republished in issue #133 of Command Magazine Japan in 2017.
