Blitzkrieg '41 is a two-player strategic simulation of the start of Operation Barbarossa (June 1941 ending March 1942).  Of interest are the supply rules designed to mirror the realities of the actual campaign.  German armies are far from home and in danger of running past the reach of their supply lines, while the Russian forces have strong internal lines of support.  The Germans will inflict enormous casualties and come close to capturing key objectives which would lead to a sudden death victory, but ....  The Russian's reinforcements are about as huge as their losses and can muster a reserve capable of attacking the weakest points the extended German front.  As there is no “zone of control” rule, defenders must occupy every hex of the very long front or face disastrous breaches.  The result should be many tense action filled engagements.  According to the designer a game of low to moderate complexity, playable in an evening.
