VERY fast and simple hex-and-counter Postcard Barbarossa! postcard size/format board wargame about the 1941 Nazi German invasion of Russia. 4 bi-monthly turns. 3 !! hexes Warsaw to Moscow. Plays in 30? minutes.

3 German Army Group, 4 Panzer Group, 2 Army, and 1 Panzer Korps pieces, plus a Romanians Army Group piece.

4 Russian operational Tank Groups - Rokossovsky, Lelyushenko, Katukov, Vatutin - 8 Fronts, and 1 Siberians pieces.

Simple, basic mechanics, but with lots of basic combat options.

Unlike Barbarossa Brief from which it was adapted, Postcard Barbarossa! uses a simple factor differential/comparison combat system which can be (and usually is) made nightmarishly unpredictable by a Special Factor Pressed Attack or Desperate Defense rule. This makes it an excellent solitaire game.

China's Banner of War will soon be publishing the game in larger, boxed format with already mounted pieces. The postcard is also being translated into Russian in Volgograd/Stalingrad!
