In a game of Advanced 3rd Reich, I played as Britain and the German player failed to garrison the port of Bremen. I landed a 2-5 armor and a 3-4 infantry on the beach in that hex and exploited with two 4-5 armor all the way to Berlin in the fall of '39. Italy had to declare war in order to supply the whole Heer or they would be eliminated in winter, game over. The Axis never recovered.
I came here thinking this was about the old documentary series from the 1970s, which included a few of the images in the thumbnail in it's opening credits. What was the documentary series 'mistake'? It was made before the role of codebreaking and bletchley park was declassified. They tried to explain the battle of the atlantic and the sinking of the bizmark without the most important factors, that the allies were reading all the german codes. Still, haven't tried this game.. I'll look it up on board game geek.

That is some hilarious rookie screw up. 😂
One minor correction at 17:38 -- The number of armor units that can exploit from this position would be four, not five.

Great review. Even a guy who's played 3R all the way back to the 2nd edition, and iterations since-yeah me; screws these up "on occasion"....
