Operation Typhoon: Re-live the classic strategy game campaign in which the Wehrmacht's Panzer Armies pushed through the Red Army defense lines towards the Soviet Capital in 1941. Can you seize Moscow before fighting both the elements (mud, extreme cold, rivers) and the counterattacks by the fresh Siberian, T-34 units and reserve rifle divisions grind the exhausted German forces into pieces?


"The Russian armies, having been driven back to Moscow, have now halted the German advance, and there is reason to believe that the German armies have suffered the greatest blow they have sustained in this war."
-- A speech Winston Churchill gave to the House of Commons on December 1, 1941

"The offensive is continued only at the heavy casualties of our fighting troops. Successes are no longer possible after the onset of winter."
— Colonel-General Heinz Guderian, commander of 2nd Panzer Group, in his report in early December 1941, as his panzer forces ground to a halt 20 miles from Moscow due to freezing conditions, depleted supplies, and fierce Red Army resistance
