Battlegroup: Barbarossa Supplement

Manufacturer: PSC Games

June 1941, Russia

Germany launches the greats land invasion ever attempted as over three million men attack the Soviet Union and begin four years of brutal warfare on the Eastern Front that will dwarf all other theaters of the Second World War.

From the Arctic Sea to the Black Sea, Germany and its allies thrust ever deeper into the Russian interior, wining huge victories that bring them to the outskirts of Moscow. But, the Red Army simply refuse to capitulate and fights on into the bitter winter months.

Inside this book, you'll find:

 • Background - A general history of Operation Barbarossa from its surprise attack on June 22nd to the defeat of the blitzkrieg in deep snows on the outskirts of Moscow in December 1941. Also covering the Army Group North's drive to Leningrad and Army Group South's advance to Kiev, Odessa, and Rostov.

 • Army Lists - Seven army lists designed to play with the character of the principal combatants: German Panzer and Infantry Division, plus three Axis allies: Finnish Infantry, Hungarian Rapid Corps and Rumanian Infantry Divisions. All will be pitted against the Red Army's defending Mechanised Corps and Rifle Divisions. Also, game data for all the early war tanks, guns, and equipment.

 • New Special Rules - New special rules to adapt the core Battlegroup game to the battlefields of the Soviet Union in 1941. The rules recreate the desperate and often chaotic nature of the Russian defence in 1941 against the swift blitzkrieg of the panzer spearheads or the following infantry attacks, whilst retaining game balance. Special rules include Russian command chaos, fighting in the forest of the north, as well as recreating battles in the frozen winter months.

 • Rules - Three new general scenarios, including "The Hard Road East" and a map-based campaign system "The Last Line," for the Russian defence of Ostrog in the Ukraine in June, 1941.
