HBG’s Barbarossa: Nov/Dec42 Soviet 10 recap

Axis has 18 Victory points

Great recap!

The supply aspect and trying not to be encircled, certainly changes strategies outside of attack and destroy

[@CaptainG9318]

Agreed. We feel they more historic realism to the game. German cant pile all units into one stack and march toward Moscow- or they will be encircled and destroyed. We are still fine tuning partisans, but their ability to disrupt Axis supply routes is impactful as well.

@CaptainG9318 I do very much like the supply in this game. Wondering if it only works in zoomed in theaters or can it work to the same level of success on a global map. I'm sure can be done with a few modifications

[@CaptainG9318]

@HuntLikeDavid. I believe both GW36 & GW85 include lines of supply to varying degrees. Global/Strategic level games are going to operate differently than Theater/Operational levels or even at the Battle/Tactical level. I bought the Oil Wars Expansion for GW36 and we’ve houserules modified it for GW39 and Axis & Allies G40. I think I liked it more than my son did. I think there is even a Resouce Expansion for GW36. Not technically ‘supplies’ like in Barbarossa or the Invasion Italy games, but the resources provide strategic level buffs for manufacturing, unit production, etc.
