Fall Blau: Army Group South, June to December 1942

A strategic-level simulation of the 1942 southern campaign on the Eastern Front, covering operations from Kursk down toward Baku across multiple linked maps. Players command Axis and Soviet formations at battalion-to-division scale, conduct classic IGO-UGO turns of movement and combat, and use a chit-pull mechanism to determine attacking unit strength. Mechanized units may make attacks during movement and air support is abstracted as Air Points. Scenarios break the campaign into shorter engagements; order of battle and optional units reflect historical dispositions. Supply and support rules limit Axis offensives, and several optional setups and victory conditions recreate historical constraints and choices.
