Description:
Breakthrough Russia is a WWII strategy game that takes players back to the crucial period from the Summer of 1941 to the Summer of 1943 when the outcome of the war in the East hung in the balance. This game is for two players with a low-to-moderate complexity level and is also suitable for solitaire play. Players can easily play the game in an afternoon, thanks to the low unit count of corps and armies, along with shorter scenarios for Barbarossa, Fall Blau, and Kharkov-Kursk. The movement and combat systems are straightforward, quick to learn, and easy to administer.
A unique chit-pull system determines each player’s resources rather than which units may activate. The game’s tempo is entirely up to the players, who decide on Pass, Attrition, or Offensive options each turn. Historical features such as partisans, industrial production, armor superiority, weather, air transport, and Lend-Lease enhance the game’s realism.
General Vlasov’s army, recruits from the Gulags, Turkish entry into the war, Katyusha rockets, and Vichy volunteers ensure that each game will have a unique experience.
Breakthrough Russia is a fun, balanced game that challenges newcomers and veteran wargamers.
Bonus scenario . Extends game to end of war 1945
