GAME:

Panzergruppe Guderian (J.Dunnigan, R.Simonsen)

Battle of Smolensk, July 1941. This game is the re-enactment of the German capture of Smolensk in 1941 played in twelve turns, each one representing approximately 2 days of time. The Soviet player begins the game by deploying his units in certain predetermined (and some user determined) hexes. These units are in an unknown state (their chits are upside down). Then the German player enters units from the West on a deployment schedule each turn. Any time units for each army are in adjacent hexes they enter combat. If the Soviet units are in an unknown state they are flipped (revealing thier strength) and combat is carried out. At the end of twelve turns sides add up their victory points to determine the winner.
