Operation Typhoon: The German Assault on Moscow

In the autumn of 1941, the last desperate German assault on the Soviet capital is underway. The staggering German successes of the past summer have led to one still unanswered question: Can the war be ended in one last, decisive stroke aimed at the heart of the Soviet nation?

Operation Typhoon is an operational level recreation of this titanic struggle. Players will not be concerned with the intricacies of low-level combat, nor the grand strategic questions of the respective High Commands. Rather, players will be faced with the problems of a corps and army level assault: distributing meager armored formations to the attack, choosing a strong defensive line, allocating supply, and assigning air units to ground support and interdiction missions. The victor will be the player with the greater ingenuity and operational sense.
