Blitzkrieg vs. Russia, 1941

"Blitzkrieg vs. Russia, 1941" *attempts* for the Barbarossa Campaign, to be what Frank Chadwick's classic little Battle for Moscow, 1st edition is for that battle: a basic, relatively fast and simple, very conventional hex-and-counter introductory board wargame. It is the same scale - 13 hexes from Warsaw to Moscow - as classic old SPI Barbarossa and might be used with that. Stalingrad *is* on the South-Eastern edge of the board, thanks to canting. And it fills to the maximum an A3/11x17 mapboard, although halves are provided for a larger, 17x21 one and larger pieces can be made from the single-set sheet. Monthly turns, 37+2 German and Axis units, 30+5 Russian units. Russian units hidden until adjacent/engaged with a couple blanks/dummies. Blitzkrieg mechanics for the Germans, pressed attacks, factory evacuation and massive replacements for the Russians, on one of my more beautiful maps. (I finally figured out how to make the background other than stark, glaring white. Think fields of light green Russian grass with the darker green forest(, etc.). This would have been good in the Four Roads to Moscow gameset. —description from the designer
