War Stories: Red Storm

Players command German or Soviet infantry and armored vehicles in World War II battles from 1942–43. Each scenario uses a map with terrain overlays that affect movement and combat, while secret instructions determine hidden deployments and objectives. Unit blocks track movement, combat, and morale under fire. Asset and event cards add special equipment, abilities, reinforcements, and battlefield incidents without adding extensive rules. Combat uses chips drawn from a bag, with counters recording damage, orders, ambushes, and other battlefield effects. Scenarios support two players and typically take about 60 minutes.
