The Russian Campaign, Designer’s Edition (GMT Games / Consim Press)
p500 $42 / MSRP $60

The Russian Campaign is an oft-revered game frequently mentioned among the ‘gold standards’ of classic wargaming.  It’s also been been mentioned with sputtered mutterings that vaguely sounds like “it costs how much?!?!”  Well, here’s your chance to get your hands on your own new, updated, corners-waiting-to-be-clipped copy of the classic.  You get 5 scenarios, counters with both NATO and icon artwork, full color rules & players aids, and 30 years of refinements and improvements to the rules, examples of play, game balance.  Blitz your way over to the p500 page to get your money down.

Scenario 3 – Operation Cartwheel,  Attack on New Georgia

Operation Cartwheel

Operation Cartwheel

New Georgia is a large island. My main objectives are taking various points on New Georgia. My secondary objectives are completing the scenario quickly, sinking six or more Japanese Ships, doing 20+ damage with aircraft and neutralizing an airfield on a different island.
