Title: Stalingrad/Moscow/Fall Blau game?
Post by: judgedredd on November 11, 2021, 05:38:04 PM

Anyone know a good, modern Stalingrad/Moscow/Fall Blau game?

I'd prefer

• Hex map
• Regiment/Battalion (if feasible) - perhaps it has to be Division?
• Map no bigger than 35x55 inches
• Modern - post 2010-ish
• Larger than 1/2 inch counters
• Medium complexity
• Either solo or high solitaire suitability

I would say The Dark Valley, but are 1/2 inch counters.

You're looking for SCS games, sounds like


This one is the fighting near Smolensk as a part of the initial Barbarossa push

Game Turn: 6 days
Hex: 7 miles/11.2 kilometers
Units: Regiment to Division
Solitaire Playability: High
Complexity Level: Medium
Players: 2 or more
Playing Time: 3-6 hours

Components:
• One v1.8 SCS Series rulebook
• One AfB specific rulebook
• two x full-color 18" x 22" maps
• 352 counters (5/8")

This one is close to what you wanted, but the bigger 2-map scenarios would be too big for the space you mentioned

This one gets the maps back under your size limits

A Victory Denied / Last Stand - Battle for Moscow both have 1/2" counters

GMT's Barbarossa: Army Group South is waaaaaay too big for the space you have

Cool. I don't have any Russian Front games - so hopefully these two will scratch the itch.
