Here are the germans plans to win the Barbarossa campaign :
Wermacht doesn't have the necessary power to win a long campaign .
Kiev and Moscow must be taken in a quick and concentrated campaign .
Logistic will be carefully managed in order to always be able to advance supply depots 6 hexes per turn.
Panzer armies will take the maximum risks to advance and isolate Soviet armies at all cost.
First try :
This campaign leads to an Axis surrender by the end of turn 2 : after succesfull advances, Pz Armies surrender Smolensk and cross Dniepr south of Kiev .
But Russian armies make heavy couniterattacks and kill and isolate several Panzer divisions . and lastly , some russian remants that were left behind are successfull in cutting supply between Minsk and Smolensk .
All the panzer armies are OOS , without avalaible aricrafts to supply them , and Smolenks Pocket is not closed ...
This leads to a general collapse of german armies .
