From: dkraNOSPAMmari@www.zap.hr (Drazen Kramaric) Subject: A&A New scenario: Barbarossa Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 22:06:29 GMT As I announced, the second of summer time scenarios for refreshement is ready. This time we are in June 1941. The sequence of play is again modified: 1.Germany 2. Commonwealth 3.Japan 4.USA 5.USSR Germany is about to launch the campaign of all campaigns - attack on Soviet Union. Wehrmacht is deployed accordingly, but that could be also a feint. Well, after German turn everything would be clear. British player is about to find a new powerful ally, but there is no place for false feeling of security, Empire on the Far East is very vulnerable. Japan has to evaluate the situation. To attack, or wait? If attack, who is the best target? US are still neutral, but it is obvious it wouldn't last long. USSR is in very dangerous position. The years of purges weakened Red Army and all signs indicate that USSR is next in line of Hitler's victims. Could Stalin survive German onslaught?
