An operational game covering the advance of Army Group Centre in the Autumn of 1941 in their drive for Moscow, using weekly turns, 30 miles to the hex and with units representing divisions. The action starts from the first week in October and extends through to the New Year. The German starting positions have the recently captured Smolensk in their immediate rear.
With large hexes, Moscow itself is just 10 hexes away, but the terrain, mud, snow and resilience of the Soviet Army makes this a hard fight.
The system is heavily based around their very successful Leningrad game system and the opening rules suggest that players of Leningrad need only give a cursory read of the rules and they will be up and running with the game.
The rest of this post looks at the game and highlights a few aspects of the system, with the help of in-game photographs and comment.
