German invasion of the USSR: Small-scale turn-based strategy board game
Features Operation Barbarossa
Operation Barbarossa is a highly rated turn based strategy game set on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.
From Joni Nuutinen: By a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011You are in command of the German WWII armed forces - tanks, infantry and air force units - and the object of the game is to conquer the Soviet Union as quickly as possible.
To have a chance to seize the top spot in the Hall of Fame you need to skillfully encircle scores of Red Army infantry units with your panzers, while battling both the feared T-34 tank units and the notorious Russian weather.
FEATURES:+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the games smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.+ Challenging: Crush your enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.+ Reinforcements and replacement units, plus new unit types - like Tiger I tanks - if the war lasts several years.+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, extra move points, damage resistance, ability to cross rivers without losing move points, etc.+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.+ A large range of WWII units under your command: tanks, infantry, motorized infantry, weak Axis infantry, Waffen SS troops, the German air force and espionage units.
Meanwhile, the Red Army starts with weaker infantry, cavalry and tank units, but as the weeks pass, is reinforced with stronger Siberian and T-34 tank units.+ Weather modelling: Spring/autumn mud slows movement, while winter reduces line-of-sight and freezing cold hampers units, especially mechanized ones.+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.Privacy Policy (full text on website and app menu): No account creation is possible, the made-up username used in the Hall of Fame listings is not tied to any account and does not have password.

The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games.
I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of.
If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the stores comment system.
In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"I have been playing this game for a while now. I have a love hate relationship with it. It is fun and engaging with a slightly steep learning curve. If you like board game style game play, I fully recommend this game and this author's whole series. 4 stars from me!!"
Steven Nichols
"I have been playing the game addictively for years, but the latest change that prevents you from reinforcing units on the front line made it much more difficult to win and it just isn't worth the trouble to play at this point. This kind of small tinkering had a big effect on playability and it broke my addiction to the game."
Mike Valenza
"I had the barbarossa free game. I bought the 4.95 full game but it does not down load, I did my part, fix it and notify me when I can get it to download."
Floyd Hillman
"Really good game as always. Here's a game (or feature) idea, a map editor for the game. You can place down pillbox or garrisons, etc. I understand if it might be hard to make, but I would like to see it added. Again, it's a great game."
Catspurr
"A fantastic What If? simulation - straightforward, but a great balance of scale and ease of play, but allowing strong operational and strategic decisions. A fantastic game!"
Victor Vescovo
"Another excellent game by Joni. This is a larger unit scale and smaller map version of his Eastern Front game. It has an interesting feature where you can vary deployment at the start of the game to plan your own offensive. Engaging variations."
Philip Riley
"Seriously well made. Graphics have been nicely updated since the screenshots shown"
Maxim Wolfensberger
"super"
Rui Gouveia
"highly addictive and realistic strategic game"
Håvard Hammer
"Terrific value. A lot of gameplay and satisfyingly challenging. Took me quite a few attempts and I play such games quite a lot! Suggest trying Barbarossa first. Slightly larger scale and helps you ease in a bit😬"
