Description Edit | History

Game is a very simple grand strategic simulation of the war between Nazi Germany and the USSR from 1941 to 1945. It was designed for use in the "War studies" course run by the designer at King's College , London.

Game consists of;

  • 11 page rulebook including examples and historical commentary. Sections covered are;

  • 40 counters.
  • Hex grid map (7 hexes x 5 hexes) from Berlin to the Caucasus.

2 1 Page Aid - V1.0
This is a one page player aid. It mainly tries to lay the rules out in a less dense format. The official rules are reasonably clean, but in a very clunky paragraph form. Many exceptions are omitted, but this can help the game flow better. V1.0 - 4-14-2008
