The Race to Berlin (Map Game)



June 6th, 1944. Before dawn, the Allied Expeditionary Force of British, American, Canadian, Polish, and

Free French troops begins Operation Overlord, the long-awaited invasion of France. You are a General, commanding over your own division, and your mission is to Win the race to Berlin.

TRTB is a unique game. You choose your name and country, and then you are sent off to a random front. If you choose to fight for the Soviet Union, for example, you will be sent to fight in Finland, the Baltics, Romania or Poland, but not to Normandy and Italy. The goal in this game is not to eliminate all enemies- it's to Take the city of Berlin, Nazi Germany's capital, and End the Nazi threat for good. You fight for your nation, and you can cooperate with other players from your nation. However, you might also choose to play as an Axis army, and defend Germany at all costs.
