Article ID: 538 Date: 4/29/2022 5:45:00 AM Book & Game Pairings from Clio’s Board Games: Russia’s War and No Retreat! The Russian Front
The "...book aims at unshrouding the mystery of the Soviet performance in World War II." Clios Board Games offers an interesting pairing of book, Russia's War, by Richard Overy, and game, GMT Games' No Retreat: The Russian Front. Interesting how both book and game explain and model how Soviet "…use of the forces at their disposal was entirely different in 1944 from what it had been in 1941 – more flexible, more focused, less encumbered by rigid top-down structure."

The "No Retreat!" series was one of which I thought for a long time but never had opportunity to play. Finally, I got the copy of the base game - The Russian front - and created the Unboxing.
