About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for the Barbarossa campaign! In 1941: Race to Moscow, you take command of one of three German army groups with the mission to advance towards Moscow. Inspired by the system from 1944: Race to the Rhine, this game deepens the experience, focusing on the crucial Eastern Front campaign of World War II. Logistics are the heart of the gameplay: you'll need to manage both armored and non-motorized units, using trucks and trains to ensure troop supply and advance. The Soviet army won't make it easy, mind you! They are a formidable adversary that will demand all your strategy. The game offers a detailed simulation, allowing you to build transport networks and routes, pick up and deliver supplies, and move point-to-point across the map in a race against time and the enemy. Perfect for those who enjoy wargames with a touch of simulation and logistical management, and the best part: it has a robust solo mode for those who like to face the challenge alone. Prepare for an intense and strategic experience that will test your commander skills.
