  • Kharkov ’43 Was the Final Successful Operation for the Axis Forces in Russia
    DESIGNER NOTES & HISTORY DOCUMENT THE CAMPAIGN Kharkov ’43 was the final successful operation for the Axis forces in Russia. It marked the end of the Stalingrad tragedy and the prelude to Kursk. It was a sweeping campaign, with large distances and low unit densities making it more akin to a desert campaign than the Eastern front. This operation was actually the Third battle of Kharkov following on the German capture of the city in September 1941 and the Soviet attempt to recapture the city in May 1942 (as simulated in Kharkov ’42). There was a Fourth battle of Kharkov in August 1943 where the Soviets liberated the city for a final time in the Polkovodets Rumyantsev offensive post Kursk. When looking at this operation it became apparent that there were three distinct phases in the battle. • The Soviet Offensive – The Star & Gallop operations, Feb 2nd to Feb 19th. • Manstein’s Backhand blow against South Western Front, Feb 20th to Mar 5th • The German recapture of Kharkov and the shattering of Voronezh Front, Mar 6th to Mar 18th It was decided to create a base campaign for each of these periods, rather than one 450 turn game. The reasoning behind this decision was the extremely fluid situation and the fact that building victory conditions for each side in a ‘mega campaign’ where the objectives changed over time was next to impossible. Further complicating this was that some units were Page 1 withdrawn and refurbished (Gross Deutschland, for example) which would be very difficult to handle in terms of game play. Once this decision was made it ensured that the individual campaigns would be playable due to their moderate length (57 – 180 turns), and allow all scenarios to be tested sufficiently.

The easy victory Adolph Hitler had envisioned over the Soviet Union was now an impossible task entrusted to field commanders with no options but success or disgrace. Hitler and the German High Command ordered a no retreat, without exception, directive to the theater commanders, specifically the commanders on the Eastern Front. Soviet commanders felt no less pressure. Josef Stalin without impunity executed the majority of his military high command and sent the rest to Siberian camps when they appeared to endanger his authority.

  • WWII Operation Uranus
    WWII Operation Uranus How the Soviets Trapped the German 6th Army in Stalingrad In the fall of 1942, the Red Army had its back to the wall once again. During the first six months of the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht had killed or captured almost three million Russian soldiers. December brought the Soviet Winter Offensive, which sent the German Army reeling back at the cost of another million Russian dead. Hitler Takes Aim at the Oilfields in the Caucasus Overextended Soviet supply lines, coupled with the onset of the spring thaw, brought the offensive to a halt, allowing both sides to regroup. As replacements and reinforcements rushed to the front, Adolf Hitler began planning a new offensive that he hoped would economically strangle his communist enemy. Codenamed “Blau” (Blue), the offensive was aimed at seizing the oilfields in the northern Caucasus and establishing a defensive line running along the Don River from Stalingrad to Voronezh. The move would deprive the Russians of valuable oil and, at the same time, provide that much needed commodity to the German armed forces. It was an ambitious plan—one that would stretch German armies in southern Russian to their limit. To bolster the German attack forces, Hitler called upon his Italian and Romanian allies to supply 1 divisions for the offensive. In response, Mussolini ordered his 8th Italian Army to participate while Romanian dictator Ion Antonescu offered the 3rd and 4th Romanian Armies. Hungary and Slovakia also contributed to the cause. The Soviets’ Disastrous Results Stalin had ambitious plans of his own.
