	Description Edit \| History

Free, relatively simple WW2 public domain wargame.
The basic game lasts 7 turns by each side; the expanded ruleset doubles that. Many of the elements of wargames are presented here: zones of control, combat results table, movement and combat values, full strength versus half strength, terrain effects on movement and combat, turns divided into phases, and special conditions such as mud, snow, and frostbite.

Re-implemented by:

The Great Patriotic War
