Also, I know the Germans lost & were wrong to invade in the first place, but for the purposes of a game it would still make sense to make the scenario more or less balanced. Otherwise you just reenact the Soviet victory no matter what you do.

Just finished 1941 Invasion scenario as Germans. Game went right through to May 1945 with marginal Soviet victory as managed to hang on to Berlin only. Must do better next time! Victory conditions could be slightly clearer - is earlier finish possible as in original Lou Coatney board game? Spotted a few differences between instructions and game but otherwise excellent.

can't see anything. map is nearly microscopic. the description says there is a zoom option, but I can't find it. and apparently the developer no long supports this game... or even cares. last "update" was 8 years ago
