Siege of Leningrad, The

This game is concerned with the efforts of Army Group North during the initial Wehrmacht assault into Russia, 1941 and subsequent operations into 1944.

The components consist of the following: a (3)-COLOR paper Mapsheet 16-1/2" by 27-1/2"; (3)-Full pages RULES; a sheet of die-cut Cardboard Counters(150); while Players will have to provide their OWN 6-sided DIE in order to play.

The area encompassed by the Mapsheet covers the Baltic coast up to Leningrad & past--including part of Lake Ladoga, North to past Tikhvin, over to past Demyansk, & South to past Ostrov & Tartu. The Mapsheet is overall Light YELLOW and the Colors used are BLUE(Water features, Swamp, German Reinforcement Hexes, Town/City/Lakes-name lettering); RED (Forts, Kronstadt Naval Base, Start lines, Soviet Reinforcement Hexes, Turn Numbers, Rivers & Game name lettering); & BROWN (RAIL lines, Town/City hex, Combat Results Table print). Game counters are WHITE print on RED for Soviet Units, while the Germans have WHITE print on BLACK for SS units & BLACK print on Light GRAY for Wehrmacht units. The game scale given is: 10.5 Km across a hex, Regiment/Division/Corps level but NO Historical designations, for Units, and each turn equals 10 Days.

There is great detail on the Mapsheet, including the area which will form the Demyansk Pocket with Surrounded German Units inside. Leningrad is massive with Forts indicated for its defense and Supply is of consequence, as any Units in the City will have to account for this with a Level to keep track of.
