Drive on Leningrad: 1941 (Campaigns in Europe Volume 1)

Complete and unpunched.

Provisional rating but some interesting design choices :

• the attritional effect of the CRT : the Germans should suffer significant losses (which is not the case in every game dedicated to the Barbarossa operation, for instance Fire in the east) ;
• the handling of the air warfare (with some comman points with the arirwarfare rules od the "East front" series ;
• a important focus on supply problems, but remaining very playable ;
• and of course the promise of a single set of rules allowing to cover most campaigns of WWII in Europe, from the campaign of France of 1940 to the battle of the Ruhr in 1945.

First impression after setup and reading the rules. Very classic rules =easy to learn Mixed with interesting supply and ressources management = Nice invitation to play and wait for the next publications

An interesting game, on a theme often simulated. Of course you have to love small hexagons, which is hardly my case anymore! But the system is pretty convincing, with a welcome trick (RP) and some good logistic rules. I’m waiting to be able to compare the next opus - case blue - with other games to get a definitive idea but so far I consider this system of rules a success.
