The Last Hundred Yards

"The Last Hundred Yards" is a groundbreaking tactical wargame that brings the chaos and strategy of WWII small unit combat to life. Dive into a detailed simulation where every decision counts, as you command platoons and companies in the crucial days following the D-Day landings in Western Europe. This game stands out with its fast-paced gameplay and innovative mechanics that accurately simulate the fluid dynamics of real battlefield situations.

Experience a unique system where the initiative and momentum of combat are critical. In "The Last Hundred Yards," only the player who wins the initiative can take proactive actions, while their opponent is confined to reactions. This mirrors the sudden shifts and urgent decisions faced by commanders under fire. The game also breaks from traditional tactical games by introducing simultaneous movement and combat, challenging players to think and react in real time.

Strategic depth is further enhanced by the Action/Reaction Cycle, which is central to gameplay. This mechanic ensures that visibility and timing are as crucial as the tactical decisions themselves. Fire mechanics are streamlined yet realistic, with different types of fire represented by color-coded markers, allowing for fast and clear resolution of combat.

Tank combat in "The Last Hundred Yards" also receives a realistic overhaul. Avoiding the common pitfalls of perfect knowledge and 360-degree vision, tank encounters in the game are tense and uncertain, reflecting the limited information and visibility actual tank crews face on the battlefield.

"The Last Hundred Yards" is not just about fighting; it’s about commanding and maneuvering under pressure, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of military strategy and history. Here are some key features:

- Innovative initiative and reaction systems that reflect real combat dynamics.
- Simultaneous movement and fire mechanics to create a fluid and realistic battlefield experience.
- Action/Reaction Cycle that emphasizes the fog of war and the importance of visibility and timing.
- Streamlined fire mechanics with color-coded markers for ease of play.
- Realistic tank combat scenarios that challenge players to think like actual tank commanders.
