Russia Besieged: Deluxe Edition*
The time is June 22, 1941. Over 3 million German soldiers stand at the Russian border, preparing to begin Operation Barbarossa. What was meant to be a swift campaign resulted in the start of the end for Nazi Germany.
Designed by the acclaimed Art Lupinacci, this game covers the entire German Eastern Campaign from 1941 to the bitter end in 1945. Players experience the challenges faced by German commanders on the Eastern Front, deciding whether to push for Leningrad, Moscow, or the oil-rich regions of the Caucasus.
The struggle includes strategic retreats and the harsh realities of warfare, with victory conditions changing throughout the battle. As Russian forces, players must creatively defend against relentless German advances, manage troop and oil production, and adapt to changing weather conditions. Will you outmaneuver your historical opponents?
