Now it is snowing and the Russians have been at full production since turn 6.
All the Germans need is Stalingrad but the Russians have siezed the initiative and attack first. The Germans have come up short again. 12 turns, game over. It was raining for turn 12 and most of German airforce was grounded anyway.
Very sweet Fish, where you get the train engines? I seen it here but can’t find it. Thanks
Can we get this in Triplea?

 The locomotives are from this game. Also there are supposed to be 24 of these same locos in a game called “War Age of Imperialism”.

Barbarossa is still new and in the testing stage. See it on BGG.
Thanks Fish, amazon wants 130.00 dollars for the game. Still checkin around. I’m going to try dime and dollar stores.

There is a used version of “War Age of Imperialism” listed on BGG for 50.00. (US) The locos in that game are the same but different colors.
Here are a couple of photos of the new Kursk prototype map under development.
A 3.0 revision of rules will be out in next 1-2 weeks. Any changes made will be highlighted.
These are pics from my last play test. This is the end of turn 6. Keeping the supplies moving is the funnest part of the game in my opinion. The Germans were moving so good in the south but ran out of supplies in the north and had to wait. Â In the second pic you can see the German reinforcements coming to the front lines, Heavy Armor, SS Grenadiers, and SS Panzers.
This is turn 9. The Germans were thinned out in the South and were defeated in a counter attack in the North right at the edge of Moscow. The second pic shows the remnants of the German forsce after ther Russian counter attack. On turn 10 Russia had the initiative and pushed the Germans back across the whole front.
Yes, if the Germans are held up for lack of supplies it can be very bad. They must make progress before the Russians come to full production. Bad weather causes them problems as well. Takes double supplies when snowing. Aircraft not on hard surface airfields when raining are grounded. Germans must have a plan in place before starting the game. Not only for logistics but they must be aware of the increased odds for bad weather to interfere with operations.
I’d like to commend Tigerman on making this into a real nail-biter of a game. Very fun and now quite streamlined. I know when Hkytown1 and I sat down to play he was blown away. This is an impressive site when it’s all set up with HBG pieces!
Fishmoto, how did you get the seaports and airfield symbols on your map?

I printed them on cardstock and cut them out carefully. Then I placed them in the required spots before laying down the plexiglass. They are not permanent.

Variable, have you or Tigerman played any more of these games?

The HBG staff have all played the game but Tigerman has been keeping up with play testing and rule changes.
Fish,
Yes I have played 3 games in the last 2 months. Do you have any questions?
I will say that every game is different when you add the weather. My last game we rolled and it rained the first 3 turns and snowed on the 4th. Hurt Germany pretty bad.

Yes the weather is always tough on the Germs. Have you finalized rules for generals?
