@SS:
I’m just going to put this game away for awhile until all the changes stop.
� Do not hold your breath until all the changes stop. This Barbarossa game is still in the testing stages. Look how many changes Larry Harris made through the years. Started with a simple global game and now how many are there now? Plus two Europe and two Pacific games. Axis and Allies games are always about change. Trying to improve and make them better. Jump into Barbarossa with both feet and post your thoughts.
 This is so true. Remmber that Larry has a lot more in resourses than I. So that means you guys are key in making these games better!! I know it can be frustrating at times to play a game that has a few broken rules but that is why your feedback is so valuable. I have an update version of the rules already sent to HBG for reviewing so it shouldn;t be too much longer.
This is good to hear. Hope you have come up with some rules to involve generals.
Here is the latest Tigerman setup for Barbarossa. We started this game 03/04/13.
The third turn of last monday’s game. Weather was good through 3 turns.
Then it rained and grounded the Luftwaffe which had neglected to base their planes at an airfield. The Russians were waiting for this opportunity and counter attacked.
Situation at the end of turn 5. The northern German thrust toward Leningrad has been turned back. See Russian army cards in second photo. Whenever you see a unit with a flag on the map that represents an offmap army group. Will attempt to see this game to conclusion 03/11/13. It looks a little more promising for the Russians now as they have reached full production.
Starting turn 6. The Germans have not done a good job of keeping supplies to the front.
The Germans are closing in but time is running out. The weather is starting to turn bad. All German planes not on a hard surface airfield are grounded.
Now it is snowing and the Russians have been at full production since turn 6.
All the Germans need is Stalingrad but the Russians have siezed the initiative and attack first. The Germans have come up short again. 12 turns, game over. It was raining for turn 12 and most of German airforce was grounded anyway.
Very sweet Fish, where you get the train engines? I seen it here but can’t find it. Thanks
Can we get this in Triplea?

 The locomotives are from this game. Also there are supposed to be 24 of these same locos in a game called “War Age of Imperialism”.

Barbarossa is still new and in the testing stage. See it on BGG.
Thanks Fish, amazon wants 130.00 dollars for the game. Still checkin around. I’m going to try dime and dollar stores.

There is a used version of “War Age of Imperialism” listed on BGG for 50.00. (US) The locos in that game are the same but different colors.
Here are a couple of photos of the new Kursk prototype map under development.
A 3.0 revision of rules will be out in next 1-2 weeks. Any changes made will be highlighted.
These are pics from my last play test. This is the end of turn 6. Keeping the supplies moving is the funnest part of the game in my opinion. The Germans were moving so good in the south but ran out of supplies in the north and had to wait. Â In the second pic you can see the German reinforcements coming to the front lines, Heavy Armor, SS Grenadiers, and SS Panzers.
This is turn 9. The Germans were thinned out in the South and were defeated in a counter attack in the North right at the edge of Moscow. The second pic shows the remnants of the German forsce after ther Russian counter attack. On turn 10 Russia had the initiative and pushed the Germans back across the whole front.
Yes, if the Germans are held up for lack of supplies it can be very bad. They must make progress before the Russians come to full production. Bad weather causes them problems as well. Takes double supplies when snowing. Aircraft not on hard surface airfields when raining are grounded. Germans must have a plan in place before starting the game. Not only for logistics but they must be aware of the increased odds for bad weather to interfere with operations.
