The Russian Campaign, 5th Edition, 1941 Play Through, Part 1

This series presents a play through of the opening turns of The Russian Campaign, 5th Edition. Part 1 provides a brief overview of how the game works, and plays the first turn of the campaign. Germany invades the Soviet Union, while the Soviets do their best to react and stem the tide.

The Russian Campaign 5th edition is published by GMT Games based firmly on the original design by John Edwards. The base game is solid, incorporating enhancements into the Avalon Hill release from the 1970's. Play options are also included that tweak the game in various ways; many of which have been used by players for not months, not years, but decades! Certainly one of the most "play tested" games there has ever been! Finally, all components have been brought up to modern standards with 5/8" counters, and a luxurious 2 panel map with nice big hexes to accommodate the counters. No tweezers needed on this one.
