Destroy All Monsters Series - AGN¸ AGS¸ AGC Combined Barbarossa Campaign
This is the big one from Conflict Simulations Limited The Destroy All Monsters Operational Series are a brand-new series of operational WW2 games that can be combined together into one large strategic game. Each game uses the same set of core rules with exclusive rules chapters covering the individual aspects of each theater. Mechanics are highly interactive and feature concepts and mechanics not usually associated with other eras of conflict such as Reactions and Counterattacks. Army Group North covers vonLoeb's ascent into the Baltic in his attempt to blitzkrieg Leningrad with the assistance of the Finns. While performing extraordinarily well¸ the Soviets were ultimately able to keep AGN out of Leningrad leading to an eventual long drawn out siege which the Germans could not maintain as the war went on. Army Group South covers vonRunstedt's extended campaign toward the vast oilfields of the Caucasus. AGS had the most ground to cover comparatively to the other Army Groups and were assisted by Romanian and Hungarian forces. While historically¸ the Germans reached Rostov which is almost unthinkable when looking at the map¸ they were quickly repulsed from Rostov before the end of the year because of inadequate German preparation for the winter combined with the first successful Soviet counteroffensive of the war. Army Group Center covers vonBock's ambitious gambit to reach Moscow by the end of 1941. Perhaps the biggest historical failure of Barbarossa was the failure to reach Moscow¸ many generals were convinced that it was the only major city worth taking (like Napoleon) but Hitler thought better of his generals and sent a Panzer Group south towards Kiev. Army Group Center combines with Army Group North and Army Group South to completely cover Operation Barbarossa through 1941 ‐ the entire DAMOS series Weight: 8/10 Solitaire Suitability: 6/10 Components: Each of the three games AGN¸ AGC¸ AGS has... 140 x 0.5 inch counters 22x17 inch map for each sector 20 page rulebook One combined map 22 x 34 to cover the entire Barbarossa campaign.
