This game is for two players with a low-to-moderate complexity level and is also suitable for solitaire play. Players can easily play the game in an afternoon, thanks to the low unit count of corps and armies, along with shorter scenarios for Barbarossa, Fall Blau, and Kharkov-Kursk. The movement and combat systems are straightforward, quick to learn, and easy to administer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique chit-pull system determines each player’s resources rather than which units may activate. The game’s tempo is entirely up to the players, who decide on Pass, Attrition, or Offensive options each turn. Historical features such as partisans, industrial production, armor superiority, weather, air transport, and Lend-Lease enhance the game’s realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral Vlasov’s army, recruits from the Gulags, Turkish entry into the war, Katyusha rockets, and Vichy volunteers ensure that each game will have a unique experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreakthrough Russia is a fun, balanced game that challenges newcomers and veteran wargamers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonus scenario .  Extends game  to end of war 1945\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplexity: Low to Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying time: 1 hour +\/- for scenarios, 4 hours +\/- for the campaign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolitaire Suitability: High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers: 1 to 2 (suitable for solitaire play)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap Scale: Appox. 125 miles per hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Scale: 1 Turn = 1 Season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Scale: Corps and Armies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame Design: Ernie Copley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame Artist: Shayne Logan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProject Director: John Kranz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18” high x 26” wide (approx.)
