Rostov '41: Race to the Don

The Standard Combat Series (SCS) games enable both experienced and beginning players to enjoy simple to play and quick to learn games. These games attempt to bring out common wargame themes, terms, and techniques.

Rostov ‘41 is a game covering the German approach to and capture of Rostov, and the ensuing successful Soviet counter-offensives against the overextended German divisions. Soviet divisions which had hitherto performed poorly during the war executed their first successful coordinated counter-offensive against the Germans at Rostov, driving them back further west after briefly holding the city. The series of battles that ensued were highly mobile and the action severely tested and bested the limits of German logistics. Each turn represents 3-6 days, and each hex equals 2.5 miles. Units sizes range from battalions to divisions.
