Group of Soviet Forces Germany is a two-player simulation examining what might have happened in the first 30 days of fighting had Western Germany been invaded by Soviet forces in the 70s.  The games assumes an invasion without lengthy preparation or forewarning as it was to the Soviets advantage not to allow NATO to mobilize.  Also political and military realities are assumed to have required minimal participation by Warsaw Pact forces, aside from the East Germans who were heavily tied into front line Soviet units.

Experienced wargamers should find the rules easy to pick up.  Set up is fast.  Lots of options for the Soviets with NATO having some opportunities for a well-planned counter attack.  Elegant game mechanics such as combat losses in steps and no Zones of Control, make the games a fluid mix of the West's doctrine of flexible warfare versus the East's approach of victory by numbers.  The outcomes are tense and enjoyable.  Suggestions for play are 1) copy the charts on the last page and 2) create a list of the 1st turn special rules.

The game updates and revises SPI's 1973 release, "NATO: Operational Combat in Europe in the 1970s".  Its time and space scales have been preserved, but the map has been improved by reflecting a more in depth terrain analysis.  The system has been updated and the orders of battle are more fully developed.  Air warfare has been added, at least as an abstract, and tactical nukes have been taken away except as possible game enders.

The orders of battle for both sides are based on open-source documents that have become available since the parent game was first published.  The system, though more complex than the original game, is at the lower end of today's complexity scale.

Each hexagon on the map represents approximately 10 miles (16.2 kilometers) from side to opposite side.  The Soviet units of maneuver are divisions, as are most NATO units, along with a few brigades and regiments.  Each full game turn represents two days.

The game map illustrates the militarily significant terrain found in the western portion of Germany and its environs in the late 1970s.  There are 280 unit counters in the game, most of which represent combat formations.  Others are also provided as informational markers and memory aids.

my dogs love it
Color: Orange
This interactive toy has been a lifesaver for keeping my furry friend occupied. It moves around in unpredictable ways, which really keeps him engaged and guessing. The rope attachment is a nice touch, allowing for a bit of tug-of-war when he's feeling energetic. It's durable enough to withstand his enthusiastic play, which is a huge plus. I've noticed he's less anxious and destructive when I'm not home since he has this to play with. Definitely a great purchase for any dog owner looking to provide some mental stimulation.

How many dog toys have you bought that just laid on the floor unused?
Color: Orange
New husky has more energy than an entire pre-school - even being walked more than three miles a day wasn’t sufficient to drain her excess energy. I threw the dice on this - and it’s AWESOME. Comes with an extra rope and an extra side piece. Rechargeable with a USB-C cable. When you turn it on, the blue LEDs flash, the entire device buzzes, bounces, and races back and forth across the floor. After a couple of days of uncertainty, my new husky LOVES this. She chases it around, grabs it by the attached rope and carries it from room to room. After a short bit of activity, the toy goes into ‘sleep’ mode, until either the dog touches it again or a timer has elapsed, and then it fires up and starts buzzing and racing around the floor again. From a full charge, the toy will keep your dog entertained all day. Bright orange color makes it much easier to find when it’s rolled behind the toilet (as it did this afternoon). Sturdy. Highly resistant to chew damage. If this one wears out or breaks, I’ll absolutely get another one.

Puppy interactive toy
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
It’s a great toy as it keeps my 5 month old puppy very entertained! It is pretty hardy and made of good material as she tries to throw it around and chew it. She does swing it around and the hard part will hit her. She doesn’t seem bothered by it tho lol good size and minimum noise When I first introduced her to it she was a little scared but now she gets excited to play with it once it finishes charging.

My Dog Is Obsessed With This Toy!
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My dog absolutely loves this toy and plays with it every day. The moving and rolling action keeps him entertained much longer than regular toys. He loves chasing it around the house and tugging on the rope. It’s also nice because it helps burn off some of his energy indoors. The material feels pretty sturdy, and charging was easy. Definitely one of the best interactive toys I’ve bought for my dog!

Waste of Money
Color: Orange
Cool toy but my dog ate through it the second day he played with it. It is not for strong dogs. No durability. I had to throw away the orange covers and now he just throws it around.
