1941 Eastern Front Campaign - First and Last
1941 Eastern Front Campaign - First and Last
I also built a huge amount of terrain.
This is a ruined city I built to represent eastern Gordinische. Again, it was fun to build and paint. It did mean I had to buy a 140 litre box to store it in. |
The best part of the campaign were the multi-player battles and games against my wargames friends.
So overall it has been great fun. Lots of painting, lots of assembling troops and terrain, and 14 fun battles. The early battles were solo, then when Support Bubbles arrived I played the battles with my youngest daughter, then with my wargame friends. Thanks to Bob for many games, and to Phil and Andy for the multi-player games.
Although the Axis started off with 4,350 points to the Soviet's 2,500 points, the replacements and reserves were fairly even, reducing the Axis advantage over time. The Axis had to win quickly or not at all, just like in 1941. In the campaign the Axis got drawn into a long campaign of attrition which they could not afford. Again, just like in 1941. Finally the Soviets had the advantage of shorter supply lines, which meant they could get replacements and reserves to the front quickly whilst the Germans struggled with the distances involved. Just like in 1941.
The campaign rules were only written down half-way through the campaign, and evolved continously. Just as the campaign ends I am finally happy with the rules.
