Operation Barbarossa 1941

[Gerald]

Zvezda's new board game "Great Patriotic War 1941" includes figures and vehicles which were delivered with a new "Wargame" magazine called "Great Sieges:Military history of Russia."

The figures and vehicles are in /72 scale, the production line includes not only figures and tanks, also, AT-guns, AA-guns, howitzers, trucks and planes!

In 1941, the German Wehrmacht invaded the Soviet Union. The result was the largest conflict ever between two nations, with millions of men fighting on both sides. The storm of war is spreading over Europe. World War II: Barbarossa 1941 puts you in command of the brave soldiers fighting in this mighty conflict. The unique, simultaneous play mechanic keeps the action intense, while the variable game board and terrain tiles allow players to create a new battlefield every time they play. Exciting scenarios are also included, complete with historical information and challenging tactical missions.

Although I may already have a little too many squad-level WW2 games (well, at least for my level of wargaming :p) strong forces are compelling me to get this game. The bits alone are great eye-candy (and I'm quite a sucker for eye-candy games). I also see potential for some nice random skirmishes using its system which I havent experienced much in the other wargames iv played.
