Iron, Blood, Snow & Mud

Wehrmacht against the Red Army on the Eastern Front of World War II in a quick two-player strategic wargame. Players command opposing forces across a hex map over four years of war. German units launch rapid offensives while managing overstretched supply lines; Soviet forces build strength, disrupt attacks with partisans, and prepare counteroffensives. Seasonal conditions, including mud and snow, restrict movement, actions, and unit use. Germany wins by holding key objectives or capturing Stalin, while the Soviet Union can achieve sudden victory by seizing one of three German-held cities.
