Yeah, lock Larry in a small room so the game wouldn’t have crazy stuff like capturing capitals and collecting money at the end of a turn.
Start in 1901 and let the powers go at it as they will.
Tigerman's Barbarossa Game now at HBG
-
On page 10 of the rules states advance set up and on the set up chart that you down load it says basic. I was just wondering if there was another set up chart.
-
Looks like the grey high lighted stuff is on page 10, 11 and 12. Stuff thats high lighted got to be the advance stuff. For setup chart don’t know if there is one. Maybe its on the map. Ya Jabo I see what you mean. No setup for advance pieces.

Tigerman is not quite through with the advanced setups. They will be released after a bit when setups are finalized and playtesting is done.

Thanks, Variable. I thought maybe my download didn’t go right. Can’t wait to see the advance set up.
-
Here’s the setup for the map. I just used the french troops in Finland for now. Sorry forgot. Going to use trucks on top of chips (quanity) for supply and oil.
-
I got the advanced setups to variable for review. Hopefully we will have this posted sometime in January! Any feedback, good or bad, would be appreciated in a PM.

Has anyone made a larger weather chart for this Barbarossa game? The one on the map is a bit small.
-
This is my first setup on HBGs Barbarossa map.
-
Minor axis units.
-
View of German units facing off against the Russian border defense. Looks like a wipeout ready to happen. Launch date for Barbarossa is 01/03/13.

Russia will need to build up fast!
-
That looks like my setup!!! LOL Let us know how it goes.

The map should be very durable. The plexiglass helps to hold any map from moving and flattens out any curling in paper or vinyl. It also gives you a hard flat surface so your units will stand up better. No more valleys like the folding maps have.

You could play a very basic game. You can use Italian units if you have them for all the axis minors. For the advanced game you will need supply tokens, trucks, transport aircraft, heavy tanks, SP artillery, tank destroyers, 12 sided dice and aircraft movement tokens. Also play money if you dont want to keep track of IPCs with paper and pencil.

It is obvious that all Russian border units will be wiped out on the first turn. So during the Russian combat movement phase can they pull out or are they locked into combat once the axis has moved into their zone? I am thinking the Russians cannot pull out until the retreat phase of the second round of combat. (If there are any survivors) I asked this question here so that others can see the answer.

Looks very interesting.

I was thinking that there would be more interest in this game. I have been seeing posts dating back several years by members wanting a Russian front game. I do not see much activity on BGG either. Where are all the players that expressed interest in this type of game?
-
I will say something…
That map has too many territories and too many pieces. It looks too crowded. It looks like it would take 2 hours just to roll out the battles and that 2/3 of the pieces are gone on turn 1.
That does not look fun to play and for those reasons i summarize, people were not looking in that direction for an eastern front style game.
Just being candid, my map/game is not better. It has to look like something larry would design, and he always goes for simple maps.
