Ukraine '43*

On August 3, 1943, less than two weeks after the Kursk Offensive, the Soviets launched a massive offensive near Kharkov that broke through the German line. This led to a fierce war of attrition, with neither side willing to give ground, ultimately resulting in significant losses and the fall of Kyiv on November 6. The game simulates this critical campaign with a moderately complex system, featuring conventional turn combat mechanics and the popular Zone of Control rules, where Soviet and German forces engage in continuous attacks and counterattacks.

Nominated for 2 awards and won 1.
