John Prados' Third Reich Gets a Facelift!

Third Edition Rules for Third Reich are now Available

(Birmingham AL, October 22, 2007) Avalanche Press announced today that third edition Third Reich rules are available for free download online, and as a hard copy that is available for free with another purchase.

Removal of sub-phases and variations in rules, simplified sea zone combat, more solitaire-friendly diplomacy rules and streamlined dice rolls are some of the improvements that have been made in the new edition. Add to those improvements more examples of play and better labeled paragraphs, and new and old players will be able to pick up their trusted friend and enjoy more intuitive play.

“All ladies who are in the early thirties start to worry about those little lines and staying modern. Third Reich is easily the spokesmodel for wargames and historical board games everywhere and is not immune to the ravages of time,” mused Mike Bennighof, CEO of Avalanche Press. “She’s our grand dame and we wanted her to keep up with the times. The original game was released by Avalon Hill in 1975 and our revised edition came out in 2001. A new cover hit earlier this year, so it was just time for the final nip and tuck!”

The new rules apply to both Third Reich and her sister game Great Pacific
War. Fans can download the new Second World War rulebook, which combines rules for both games, at http://www.avalanchepress.com/TR_GPW_ThirdEdition.php or order it for free in the Avalanche Press store. Retailers who want the new rules can get them for free with their next order.

About Avalanche Press:

Founded in 1993, Avalanche Press started out in a garage in Alabama. Their goal was to bring the joy of wargaming to as many as they could, making ease of play a priority. After starting to win awards in 1998, they came to understand that the mix of history and gaming shouldn't be limited to stereotypical wargames. And so they expanded into family games, card games, role-playing and more. In the past 12 years, Avalanche has made a name for itself as the leader in mixing historical genres with quality game products and game play anyone can enjoy. Avalanche Press — "Walk With Heroes!"
