Barbarossa

Art of War

Barbarossa June 1 1941 Order of Battle

We have played several Art of War scenarios over the last few years. Here is a summary:

Barbarossa (June 1941 to December 1941) regular scenario (Russian won again)
Army Group South (Russians won again)
Italy 1942/1943 (Allies were winning until the last weeks when stunning advances by the Axis pulled out a draw) 2002
Luzon 1941/1942 (Japanese won again) 2002
Barbarossa '41 (Large version) 2002..2003

We plan to play a monster version of Pacific War scenario late 2002.
