1941: What If? An Alternative History Wargame of a Second Winter War

Tense alternative-history wargame centered on the possibility that Bulgaria allied with the Soviets, triggering an eastern front in Central and Eastern Europe six months earlier than in history. Two players command Soviet/Allied or German/Axis forces across a hex-based map, with units representing armies and corps and turns covering half a month. Bulgaria, Greece, and Britain join the Allied side, while Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Italy support the Axis; neutral Yugoslavia may enter the war during play. The system is low to intermediate in complexity and adapts to solitaire play.
