Russia Besieged: Deluxe Edition

An Army- and Corps-level simulation of the German campaign on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. Players manage movement, attacks, weather, unit breakdowns, encircled cities, replacements, and each side’s war economy across a two-map theater. German forces pursue objectives including Leningrad, Moscow, and the Caucasus, while Soviet forces absorb the initial invasion, reinforce through production, and seek to halt later offensives. Turns represent two months and use monthly impulses, with scenarios ranging from two hours to a campaign lasting up to 20 hours. Supports two players or solitaire play.
