2 NORDWIND 1945 Nordwind 1945 simulates the German offensive in Alsace in January One player controls the German forces, the other the American and French forces. This game requires the use of a six-sided die (noted as 1d6). The abbreviation hex. is used for hexagon. All distances are given in hexagons. 1 - OVERVIEW Game Scale A game turn represents two days of real time. A hexagon on the map covers approximately 5 km [3 mi.]. The unit counters represent battalions, regiments, Allied tactical groupings (combat command) and German Kampfgruppen Terrain The map represents part of Alsace defined on the north by the German front, on the east by the Rhine, on the south by the suburb of Strasbourg and on the west by Lorraine. A hexagonal grid is superimposed on the map to regulate units Movement (see 3) and Combat (see 6). The effects of different terrain types on movement and combat are summarized in the Terrain Effects Table. COUNTERS INFORMATIONS Units Each unit has the following informations on the counter: Combat strength Quality rating Movement allowance: in blue for the infantry units, and in yellow for the mechanized units Unit type represented by a NATO symbol and size (see 5) Armored Mechanize d infantry Motorized infantry Reconnaissance Carried anti-tanks Infantry Mountain infantry Paratrooper infantry Tractor-drawn anti-tanks Multiple rocket launchers Identification: unit name, indicated as follows: Battalion/Brigade or Regiment/Division. - Any armored bonus is indicated by an asterisk. - Any special characteristic is indicated by a colored square. Name Type and size Quality Movement points (infantry) Special characteristic Combat strenght The red square show that the unit has lost a step *: Armored Bonus french unit Range Special characteristic Mecanised movement Combat bonus 2

3 1.4 - Special characteristics 6.SS : Two units have the possibility of infiltrating enemy controlled Zones (see 4.4). 653sPJ et 353 : these units provide a bonus of one column for city combat against the small forts of the Maginot Line. VolksW(erfer) : this artillery unit gives a bonus of one column in combat. Its Range is 2 hex. Combat commands: Theses units benefit automatically of the Infantry and Armor bonus (see 6.2). 2 - SEQUENCE OF PLAY Nordwind 1945 is played in several turns (depending on the scenario chosen). Each game turn is composed of several phases as described below Game Sequence A Supply and Weather Phase Both players check the supply lines [LoS] (see 7) for all of their units. The allied player throws 1d6 to determine the weather for the turn (see 8 and the Weather Table). B German Movement Phase The player moves all or part of his units respecting the Rules of Movement (see 3), Stacking (see 5), and the Zones of Control (see 4). C German Combat Phase The German player has his able units fight, respecting the Rules of Combat (see 6). D Allied Movement Phase Like Phase B but for the Allied player. E Allied Combat Phase Like Phase C but for the Allied player. F Turn End Check for automatic victory conditions. If they are not met, a new turn begins. The turn marker is moved forward one square on the turn counter. If it is the last turn of the scenario, check the victory conditions MOVEMENT Overview During movement, a unit can move all or part of its movement allowance by spending the movement points (MP) required for each type of terrain moved through. The infantry units have a movement allowance of 8 MP; the mechanized and armored units have a movement allowance of 12 MP. A unit is not required the expend all of its MP during its movement action, but if it does not, the remaining MP are lost for this turn Terrain Effects Terrain effects on movement and combat are given on the Terrain Effects Table. Roads: For mechanized units, the road movement cost only applies if the unit is alone in the hex. or stacked with a nonmechanized or non-motorized infantry unit. If a mechanized unit is stacked with another mechanized unit or if a mechanized unit crosses a mechanized unit already on the road, it will then pay the cost of the nonroad terrain. Infantry units always benefit from road movement. Bridges: They are situated wherever roads cross the river. This bridge cancels the cost in MP of a river crossing, but not the penalty linked to combat. The regular Zones of Control apply (see 4.1). Example: a bridge is located between hex and A unit that crosses over this bridge will pay only the movement indicated for the terrain present in the hex. and not for the river. However, the combat modifier still applies Ferries A ferry is the only way for the German player to cross the Rhine. He places the ferry in the hex. adjacent to the Rhine during the movement phase of his choice, at the location he chooses for the crossing of his units. Once in place, the ferry cannot be moved. Crossing the river by this means costs 3MP for an infantry unit and 6PM for a mechanized infantry unit.

4 One of the hexes across from the ferry must be clear of enemy units. The units can then cross by this or these adjacent hexes. If the Allied units are present in all of the hexes adjacent to the ferry on the other side of the Rhine, the ferry is destroyed. Example: A ferry is placed in 2114, and the units cross into 2013 and/or If the Allied units enter into 2013 and 2113, the ferry is destroyed. Consequences : The units located on the other side of the Rhine are considered isolated at the next Supply phase (unless they have an LoS (supply line) from another friendly side on the map). Note : The only way to destroy a ferry is to occupy the adjacent hexes. This one And/or this one 4 - ZONES OF CONTROL Overview All combat units exert a ZoC in their own hex. and into the six adjacent hexes, except across the Rhine. A combat strength unit of «1» alone in its hex. exerts no ZoC ouside of its own hex. If the combat strength of stacked units is greater than 1, the stack exerts a ZoC on the 6 adjacent hex. EXAMPLE OF MOVEMENT 1 Unit CCA/12 disengages from the Zone of Control of the German unit 59/19 at a cost of 1MP (1). It proceeds on the national road in 1008 and 1109 at a cost of 2 x 1/2 = 1MP. Arriving in 1209, another armored unit prevents it from benefiting from the road (3.2). It spends 1MP for clear terrain (2). In 1309, it spends 1/2 MP because it is alone on the road. In 1409, the infantry unit does not prevent it from benefiting from the road and so it spends? MP (3). The same goes for 1510, where it completes its movement. In all, it has spent 4.5 MP (4). If it had continued its movement, it would have another = 7.5 MP to spend

5 A unit s ZoC influence the movement and combat of other units ZoC Effects A unit which enters an enemy ZoC must stop its movement. - A unit which begins its movement in an enemy ZoC may leave this ZoC by spending an additional +1 movement point (MP). A unit cannot move directly from one ZoC to another ZoC (exception : 4.4) The presence of a friendly unit in an enemy ZoC nullifies it for retreat (see 6.5.1), and supply lines (see 7.1), but not for movement. Important: the presence of a friendly ZoC does not negate an enemy ZoC ZoC and Combat Combat is not mandatory for a unit which ends its move in an enemy ZoC during its movement. A unit or stack of units that retreat into an enemy ZoC as a result of combat loses 1 strength step (for the entire stack) per hex. of enemy ZoC traversed (see 6.5.1) unless a friendly unit is present in the hex Special case for the 6.SS The two infantry units (11 and 12/6) of the 6.SS are capable of infiltration and thus can pass from one ZoC to another (whether or not they are exerted by the same unit. The only cost is +1 MP to exit each ZoC per hex. traversed. This infiltration can take place against any type of enemy troop Exemple: the unit of the 6.SS moves in the ZoC of the american unit. From 1 to 2, it spends + 1 MP to exit the ZoC in 1207 and 1 MPfor the clear terrain. From 2 to 3, it spends + 1MP to exit the ZoC in 1308 and 1 MP for clear terrain + 3 MPfor the river. Total : 7 MP. 5 - STACKING One may stack in the same hexagon up to 3 Regiments or Brigades plus 1 Battalion or 2 Regiments or Brigades and 2 Battalions. Size of Units: X: brigade III: regiment II: battalion Stacking limits apply at the end of each movement phase and each combat phase. However, during each movement phase, friendly units may exceed the stacking limit without penalty (exception: mechanized units on the road, see 3.2) Units exceeding stacking limits are eliminated according to their owner s choice. The various markers do not count in the stacking limit. 6 - COMBAT In Nordwind 1945, combat takes place between adjacent units (exception: German artillery units). The units which attack are called «Attackers» and the units in the targeted hex(es) are called «Defenders» Overview A unit may attack any adjacent hex containing an enemy unit. A unit cannot attack an enemy unit in a terrain it cannot normally enter. An enemy unit can be attacked by any adjacent friendly units. Multiple Attacks All enemy units in the same hex. must be attacked together, and they must all participate in their defense. Attacking units that are in the same hex. (that is, in the same stack) can attack different enemy hex. Each attack is resolved separately. However, the combat value of a

6 unit cannot be divided among several combats Modificateurs au combat Modifiers are as followed and are implemented in this order: Quality: see 6.3. Defender s Terrain: the terrain in the defender s hex provides column shifts. These modifiers are cumulative. Example : wooded terrain behind a river shifts two columns to the left. The penalty most favorable for the defense always applies. Example: if a unit attacks by river or a crest and the other doesn t, the river or crest penalty applies. Divisional bonus: if all the original regiments of the same division attack the same adversary and from the same hex., the stack receives a bonus of a +1 column shift to the right. Battalions do not count toward divisional integrity. If all the original Regiments or Brigades of the same armored division or of the Panzer-Grenadiers attack the same adversary of the same hex. and if the hexagon of the defense is clear terrain, the stack receives a bonus of +2 columns. The following units can receive this bonus: 12nd AD and 14th AD US, 2nd French DB, 21.Panzer, 25.Panzer-Grenadier, 10.SS.Panzer, 17.SS.Panzer.Grenadier and 11.Panzer. Infantry and armor Bonus: if an infantry unit (of + or any type) is stacked with an armored unit (marked by an armored symbol), it benefits from a bonus of +1 column in attack and defense. Note : lthe brigades of the US and French armored divisions automatically have this 6 bonus except the CCR unit of the 14th DB US. Infantry plus Anti-tank Bonus: if an + or infantry unit (of any kind) is stacked with an anti-tank unit (containing an antitank symbol), it receives a bonus of +1 column in defense only if at least one of the attacker s units is an armored unit. Armored Bonus: Armored units or antitank units that have an armored bonus (indicated by an asterisk) benefit from a bonus of +1 column in attack or defense if ennemy armored units participate in the combat and none of them has an armored bonus. Artillery of the people (Multiple rocket launchers) : the VolksW unit gives a bonus of +1 column to the combat in which it participates. Its range is 2 hex. Air mission: bonus of +1 column (see 9). Concentric attack: If a defender s unit is completely surrounded by attacker s units or their ZoCs, the attacker receives a +1 column bonus. All of these modifiers are cumulative but there may only be one modifier of each type in the same combat Quality rating The quality rating of a unit is used to calculate its probable performance in combat. The value, ranging from A to D, is used by the attacker and the defender during each combat. If several units of different qualities participate in a combat, the best quality is always chosen. Each player throws 1d6 on the Quality Table and uses the result to shift the column to the right or left on the CRT. A negative number obtained by the defender equals a corresponding number of additional columns for the attacker and vice versa. Concept note : This table amounts to testing a unit s capacity to organize its attack or its defense, based on its command and its training, and its ability to deal with the unexpected (bad coordination, lack of ammuni-

7 tion, impetus, etc.). The higher the quality, the less likely the unit is to undergo a negative result and vice versa Combat Resolution Combat takes place as follows: Both the attacker and the defender add up their combat strengths. A ratio is made between the attacker s and defender s sums to obtain a basic force ratio. This ratio is always rounded in favor of the defender. Example : if 13 factors attack 5, the force ratio is 2.6:1, rounded to 2:1. Column shifts are applied to obtain the fi nal strength ratio column. The attacker consults the appropriate column on the Combat Results Table (CRT) then rolls 1d6 to obtain the final combat result. Note : The final force ratio cannot be less than? or greater than 8/1 at the end of the application of the column shifts. Any modifiers putting the result outside these limits are not to be taken into account Combat Results Results are given in the form of a letter R and/or numbers that can affect the attacker as well as the de fender. The letter R indicates a mandatory retreat. The numbers indicate the number of strength steps that that force must lose and/or the number of hexes of retreat. The owning player apportions his combat losses as he chooses among the stack and the number of retreat hexes, always beginning with the mandatory retreat, losses, and then optional retreats. The defender apportions his losses and retreats, if any, then, the attacker does the same. Results in bold on the CRT indicate that the final requirement to be filled for the combat result is chosen by the attacker. The defender, however, chooses the unit or the stack that undergoes the loss or the hex. of retreat. If the defender can or chooses to remain in place and lose strength steps, the attacker must take all of his losses as step losses and may not retreat. If the defender retreats (by 7 choice or necessity), the attacker may also retreat. If armored units are present on both sides, the first loss must be taken by an armored unit that participated in the combat. For a unit of quality A or B, the mandatory retreat can be converted to a loss Retreats and Advances After Combat Retreats A unit or stack of units that retreats cannot enter a hex occupied by enemy units. It also cannot retreat into a hex impassible to it. Retreats must be done as much as possible within the following order of priorities: 1. toward a hex. out of enemy ZoC; 2. in the general direction of the friendly board edge; 3. toward the hex. farthest from an enemy unit. A unit or stack may retreat into an enemy ZoC, losing one strength step for the entire stack per hex. of enemy ZoC moved through, unless this hex. is occupied by a friendly unit. Units from a retreating stack may retreat into different hexes as long as they all retreat the same number of hexes. A unit that must retreat into a hex. with impassable terrain or a hex. occupied by enemy units is eliminated. A unit which must retreat off the map returns the following turn to the hex. from which it exited or to an adjacent hex. If it cannot, it returns the following turn to a hex. located a distance of between 2 and 6 hex. from the exited hex.. important : If a unit retreats in violation of the rules of stacking, it or a unit in the stack will be eliminated. (See 5) Advance After Combat When a unit or stack of units retreats or is eliminated, it leaves the hex. that it had occu pied vacant, as well as a retreat path of varying length depending upon the number of hex. retreated. Victorious units that took part in the combat may then enter the vacated hex. and advan ce along the retreat path of the defea-

8 EXAMPLES OF COMBAT Example 1 CCB/12 is attacked by three German units of 21.PZ and 653sPJ. Total of factors: 12 ( ) against 6, which gives a rounded force ratio of 2/1. The players apply the following modifiers. Quality: The US player (of quality D) throws 1d6 on the Quality Table and gets a 3, for a result of -1. The German (quality B, taking the best quality) gets a 5, for a result of +1. The German thus benefits from a bonus of +2 columns to the right. Terrain: The terrain is clear, no modifier. Division Bonus: Since all the regiments of the 21.Pz attack together and from the same hex. in clear terrain, the German benefits from a bonus of +2 columns to the right. Infantry + Armored Bonus: Both players benefit so the bonus is canceled out. Armored Bonus: Since unit 653 spj possesses an armored bonus, the German benefits from a modifier of +1 column. Artillery of the people: The VolksW unit gives a +1 column bonus to the German. Air mission: The Allied player engages in an air mission, giving a penalty of -1 column to the German. Total of the column modifiers: +5. The German player throws 1d6 on the column 7/1 and gets a 4, resulting in -/R2. Example 2 Terrain: With one of the two units attacking across a crest, this modifier applies giving a penalty of -1 column to the attacker in addition to the difficult terrain. The total, then, is -3 columns penalty for the attacker. Concentric Attack: The American unit is completely surrounded by enemy units or by their ZoC. (US unit 179/45 doesn t prevent the ZoC of 59/19 from acting.) The attacker benefits from a bonus of +1 column. Example 3 : The units of 17.SS do not benefit from the division bonus (there is one regiment missing) but only from the Infantry and Armored bonus. The defender benefits from the Infantry and anti-tank bonus, and so these two bonuses cancel each other out. However, the anti-tank unit has an armored bonus, giving the German player a penalty of -1 column 8

9 ted unit still respecting impassible terrain. If a retreating stack splits into several hex., the active player is free to follow whichever of the retreat path(s) he wishes. Exception: Armored or mechanized units are not required to follow the retreat path of retreating units after the first hex. This movement does not end when they enter an enemy ZoC. In the case of a shared result, the attacker must convert all of his adverse results into step losses if he wishes to advance after combat. Only the attacker may advance after combat. Examples : The result 2/- indicates that the attacker must either retreat two hex. or lose two strength steps and remain where he is, or lose one strength step and retreat one hex. The result /1 indicates that the defender must retreat one hex. or lose a strength step. The result 1/R1 indicates that the defender must retreat one hex. and then either retreat another hex. or take a loss. The attacker must then either retreat one hex.(the defender having retreated) or lose one strength step. If he chooses the second option, he may then advance to the hex. vacated by the defender. If the defender retreats 2 hex., for example, the attacker can follow the defender along his retreat path. - The result 1/R3 indicates a mandatory retreat of a hex. for the defender and 3 additional requirements to take in strength losses or retreats. The defender retreat a hex. (mandatory) then loses 2 strength steps and stays where he is or loses one strength step and retreats all his units one or two hex. The attacker will finally choose (result in bold) to force the stack of an additional hex. to retreat or to lose another strength step. The attacker then retreats a hex., (the defender having retreated)or loses a strength step. If he chooses the second option, he may then advance to the hex. vacated by the defender. If the defender retreats 2 hex., for example, the attacker can follow the defender along his retreat path. If an enemy unit is eliminated before it fulfills all of its requirements described on the CRT, the attacker can convert the remaining requirements into hex. advances after combat. Example: if a /R2 result eliminates a unit that only had one strength step left, the attacker can advance 2 hex. 7 - SUPPLY Overview A Line of Supply (LoS) may pass through any type of terrain usable by a mechanized unit but cannot pass through an enemyoccupied hex or through an enemy ZoC, unless this hex is occupied by a friendly unit. A LoS can cross a river but not the Rhine outside of a ferry. The length of a LoS is infinite. Unit supply is checked during the Supply phase Supply For a unit to be supplied, it must be able to trace a Line of Supply (LoS) to the friendly edge of the board. Germans : north and east Allies : west and south Effects - If a unit is unable to trace a LoS at the start of the turn (during the supply phase), it gets an Isolated marker. The consequences are as follows: the unit attacks at half their combat strength but it defends itself and moves normally. - An isolated unit that cannot trace a LoS at the start of its turn gets an Unsupplied marker. The consequences are as follows: the unit cannot attack and it defends itself at half its combat strength and moves at half its movement. Note : Combat strength values are rounded up to the nearest whole number. 9

10 7 - WEATHER The ground weather is already taken into account in the rules. Only the air weather influences the game.the weather can be fair, cloudy or overcast. To determine the weather, the Allied player throws 1d6. On a die roll of: 1: the weather is fair; 2,3: Cloudy; 4,5: Overcast; 6: same weather as previous turn. A die roll modifier of -1 applies if the weather was fair on the prevous turn. The weather is overcast for the first turn. 9 - AIR MISSIONS Overview Players can engage in air missions during combat. A marker is provided to record air missions and show them on the map. Each air mission gives a bonus of one column in attack or in defense. The attacking player chooses during which combats he calls an air mission and the defender does the same. Any column shifts are applied on the CRT. There can only be one air mission per combat SCÉNARIOS Historical scenario Play begins January 1, 1945 and lasts 12 turns unless the automatic victory conditions are met before then Allies The Allies place themselves south of the red dotted line.
