Barbarossa: Game of the Russo-German War 1941-45

A strategic two-player wargame simulates the four-year Russo-German war on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. One player commands the German High Command and its Axis allies, while the other controls Soviet forces and allied partisans. Four scenarios cover the 1941 invasion, the 1942 campaign, the 1943 offensive, and the full war. Monthly turns, 27-mile hexes, and corps- to army-level units represent the conflict at operational and strategic scale. The game supports solitaire play and takes approximately 4–25 hours.
