SGB-19 Return to Europe (1986) (JPY 6800)
RTE includes two mapsheets, 1008 counters, 5 PAC, a 32 pg rulebook, a 16 pg scenario book and 24 pg ‘history booklet. RTE also has a very dramatic cover, with German jets (that look like USAF 104s) intercepting US ‘Flying Wing’ bombers and an M48 Patton tank moving towards a dead Panther V while being attacked by German helicopter gunship missiles in Trafalgar Square below Big Ben.
The maps stretch from Casablanca to Afghanistan and a ways into the USSR. The maps for RTE and RS/BC do NOT mate up. They are close, but not match. In the ‘history’ of RTE, Europe has been conquered by the Germans, and the USA is coming to save the day (again). Europe has been broken up into many minor provinces with Germanic sounding names and spellings, including many of their own combat units. Supply once again rules the day as many of RTE’s charts and tables look to deal with the gaining and spending of supply points.
