Defiant Package

Crush fascism in an afternoon’s play.

• Defiant Russia

Defiant Russia is our fast-playing game of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa. You get everything you need to play, except dice, in a book.

Defiant Russia puts its emphasis on fast and challenging play. Play is easy; strategy, not so much. The Axis player starts with overwhelming force, but has a stiff set of objectives to meet. The Soviets will usually see much of the seemingly-powerful Red Army melt away in the first turns of play, but reinforcements are on their way.

You get 200 playing pieces and a 28x22-inch map. The map extends from Berlin in the west to Kuybyshev in the east, and from Petrozavodsk in the north on down to Kars in the south. There’s plenty of room for rampaging.

• Red Vengeance

Red Victory uses the map and some pieces from Defiant Russia, and 180 more pieces, to re-create the 1944-45 campaign on your game table. You get full-color player aids and new pieces for Yugoslav partisans, Romanians, Bulgarians, and Hungarians.
