Although based on a historical event, the two players can modify the course of the operations, with the German player trying to achieve a decisive victory before the winter comes, and the Soviet player playing a fighting withdrawal while waiting for Reinforcements and until ready to strike a decisive blow at the invaders. The game is recommended for two players but has excellent solitaire suitability. Published in 2016.
