Panzer Campaigns: Moscow '42

Moscow '42 has rolled out. This latest entry in John Tiller's Panzer Campaigns series is bound for the Eastern front and packing a heavy punch in terms of what it has on offer for wargamers in both the solo and multiplayer departments.

 

Moscow '42 is two games in one. Following on from the German Operation Typhoon portrayed in Moscow '41, Moscow '42 includes the historical Soviet 1941/42 winter counter offensive that almost destroyed Heeresgruppe Mitte in front of Moscow.

 

In addition the hypothetical Fall Kreml (Operation Kremlin in English) is included. Operation Kremlin was an extensive deception campaign that the Axis enacted to distract from Fall Blau (Operation Blue) the German 1942 summer offensive in the Ukraine and Caucasus. What if Fall Kreml was real? What if the Axis attempted to capture Moscow again using the historical forces available in the summer of 1942? A range of campaigns & scenarios are included to allow players to investigate this historical possibility.

 

Key features include:

 

• Game scale is 1 hex = 1 km, 1 turn = 2 hours, with battalion and company size units.

• 57 Scenarios – covering all sizes and situations, including specialized versions for both head to head play and vs. the computer AI.

• The Master Map covers 244,620 hexes expanding well to the east, west and south of the area covered by the previous Panzer Campaigns: Moscow '41. This is one of the biggest Panzer Campaign maps ever released.

• A winter Order of Battle with over 7,700 units from four Soviet Fronts and a German Army Group including units from German, SS-German, and Vichy French formations as well as Siberians, Guards and regular Russian Army units.

• A summer Order of Battle with over 9,000 units from four Soviet Fronts and two German Army Groups including units from German, SS-German, and Hungarian formations as well as Guards and regular Russian Army units.

• Order-of-Battle and Scenario Editors which allow players to customize the game.

• Sub-map feature allows the main map to be "chopped" up into smaller segments for custom scenario creation.

• All new images for unit art on both sides, including guns and vehicles.

• Exceptional Designer notes with historical write-ups for both the winter and summer campaigns.

 

Should you be of a mind to give in to your capitalist urges, the game is currently available for purchase at the developer's store.
