The Grand Campaign : Moscow '42 - Dec 6th, 1941 to Feb 15th, 1942.
The last great push of Operation Barbarossa began on Nov 15th, 1941 when Heeres Gruppe Mitte tried to bring Operation Typhoon to a successful conclusion with the capture of Moscow. Two weeks after it was launched, it was obvious that the German forces were spent and little more could be achieved. Aided by plummeting temperatures the Soviet launched what were first limited attacks, but quickly grew into Front wide offensives that would last for close to three months. By the end of the Soviet offensives, Moscow was saved, but at what cost?
(Size, Campaign Game)
The scale of this campaign game is theatre wide and best played head to head, ideally with team play. The Soviets have strong fresh units, hitting German units that will invariably be low on supply. The heavy forest cover around Moscow also favours the Soviet mobile troops both on ski and horse. The German player will need to determine how far to pull back to ensure that he is adequately supplied. Withdrawing while delaying the stronger Soviet forces will be a challenge. Little in the way of reinforcements can be expected until Divisions from France start to arrive in January.
