About the game
Operation Typhoon was the final attack the Germans launched at the end of 1941, in a desperate attempt to capture Moscow. When their offense ground to a halt, the Germans assumed the Soviets had run out of reserves – but they were wrong. This expansion kit for Battle for Moscow: Operation Typhoon, 1941 allows players to extend the original, solitaire BattlessonTM game to early March, 1942, when the Spring thaw turned the countryside into a quagmire and brought the Soviet winter offensive to an end. Note: This Expansion Kit is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of Battle for Moscow: Operation Typhoon, 1941 to use it. Game Data: Number of Players: 2 Ages: 12 and up Playing Time: approximately 50 minutes Complexity: 2 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 8 on a 9 scale Scale: Each unit is one German corps or Russian army, and each turn is approximately one to two weeks. Game Components: • Eight 5/8" square pieces • 1 Player aid mat overlay/extension • 1 plastic High Tide token • 1 Set Up map / Designer's Notes by Frank Chadwick • 1 Rules sheet
