Ukraine '43: The Soviet Summer Offensive Against Army Group South. NAC WARGAMES

Ukraine 43: Ukraine 1943 Deluxe (Second Edition) On August 3, 1943, less than two weeks after the Kursk offensive, the Soviets launched a massive attack near Kharkov that split the German lines in two. The battle that followed was the prelude to their summer offensive, which would eventually carry them across Ukraine to the Dnieper River. Throughout August, both sides maintained similar forces in a brutal war of attrition from Kharkov to the Sea of Azov. In September, weakened by relentless Soviet assaults, the German army retreated toward the Dnieper. In October, fighting continued toward the Perekop Peninsula, the only land access to Crimea. After three months of devastating combat, Kiev fell on November 6. Ukraine ’43 simulates this campaign through a moderately complex system based on the classic move-combat-exploitation sequence and Zone of Control rules. With Soviet tanks and German panzers launching constant offensives and counterattacks, the game becomes an intense battle of strategy and tension. New features Redesigned using the system from France ’40 and Normandy ’44 for smoother gameplay. Larger units and hexes. Additional Sturmgeschütz brigades and Tiger battalions. Third step (reduced unit) for Panzer, Panzergrenadier divisions, Soviet tank units, and Mechanized Corps. Classic and streamlined igo-ugo system.
