two months and hexes about 40 kilometers. Medium complexity. A PBM (Play-By-Mail)
kit was available for this game.

OB chart, Russian OB chart & 12-page Rule book.
Two
players. Ages 12 & up. Avalon Hill from 1976. Design: John Edwards.

 Additional
info: For those who may like to update their original "Russian Campaign"
game by Avalon Hill, there was a kit put out by the designer, John Edwards.
It consisted of all the rules changes, additions & modifications, along
with the necessary Counters to bring more realism to the game. However,
you must have a copy of "Russian Campaign" because you will still need
the Mapboard, Rules, etc.... this is not a stand-alone game, it is an add-on
kit designed to be used in conjunction with the "Russian Campaign" game.
John Edwards / Jedko Games from 1985.

An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
