WW2: Barbarossa to Berlin

A strategic card-driven wargame that covers the European and North African theaters from 1941 to 1945. Players command Axis or Allied forces using a point-to-point map, moving armies and corps (fronts and armies for the Soviets) in three-month turns. A shared Action Card system provides operations, strategic movement, replacements, and Events representing leaders, new weapons, amphibious invasions, strategic bombing, partisan warfare, and diplomatic actions. Combat emphasizes mechanized warfare and resource considerations such as oil, while scenario-driven reinforcements and campaigns recreate blitzkrieg drives, Soviet counteroffensives, North African campaigns, and the Allied invasions that push to the Rhine and Berlin.
