Third Reich is a 1996 video game from Avalon Hill. It is based on the board game Rise and Decline of the Third Reich.[2]

Gameplay

Third Reich is a strategy game which emphasizes complex tactical decision-making. Players are tasked with managing resources and planning military operations.[2]

Reception

Computer Gaming World said "If you want to see how a classic boardgame should be converted to the computer, look no farther than AH's Wooden Ships and Iron Men, and pass this unhappy conflict by".[3] Games Domain said "Third Reich, by its empirical nature, requires a precision which is absent in more "user-friendly" offerings, but that makes every successful move that much more rewarding".[5]

The Age called it a must have for any who enjoyed the board game.[6]
