Proud Monster: The Barbarossa Campaign (1994)

About this game

Proud Monster: The Barbarossa Campaign 1941 is a simulation of the first six months of the 1941-1945 Russo-German War. Game scale. Each hex on the two maps represents approximately 20 miles from side to opposite side. The units of both sides are represented primarily at the division level, but there are also a few corps, brigades, regiments and independent battalions in the counter mix. Each full game turn except the first represents two weeks. Game components [...] include rules, two 34x22" game maps, one carstock chart and table sheet, and 959 die-cut counters. (source: rulebook)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
