About the game:
Set during the summer and autumn of 1941, the game focuses on Army Group North’s advance through the Baltic states toward Leningrad. The Axis player must push forward using speed and concentration of force, while the Soviet player relies on delaying tactics, defensive lines, and gradual reinforcement to slow the advance.
The system highlights the contrasting capabilities of both sides. Axis forces excel at rapid breakthroughs and coordinated operations, while Soviet forces must manage a more rigid command structure and respond to evolving threats across a wide front.
Terrain and infrastructure play a major role, with rivers, roads, and fortified lines shaping movement and combat decisions. Weather and supply also influence operations, requiring careful planning over the course of the campaign.
With multiple scenarios and a full campaign option, players can explore different stages of the operation or engage in a long-form strategic challenge. Each playthrough presents new decisions, reflecting the complexity and uncertainty of the historical campaign.
