Fall Blau
From June to December 1942, try to conquer insanly vast territory, from Vornonezh to Stalingrad and Baku.
All fronts are featured in this Scenario, so you will even have a chance to take Leningrad.
The soviet will have his own massive offensives against german forces in the North and the Center while conducing defensive battles in the South and the Caucasus. The scenario covers the november and december months so heavy soviet-counter offensives may occur : will the german player be able to reinforce his defences on time?
Edelweiss
This scenario is shorter and features only the fightings in the Caucasus, from the taking of Rostov to the stalemate in November. No Blitzkrieg here for the german, but bitter fightings in remote battlefields nearly impossible to supply in a mountainous region. Will the german be able to secure the rich caucasian oil fields? The outcome of the war depends on it!
Kharkov & Crimea in May-June 42
A quick to play scenario set in the South area. While both the Soviets and the Wehrmacht are preparing for the summer offensive, smaller but important operations are taking place in Crimea and around Kharkov. The result have been two important german victories, but the heavily fortified and defended city of Sevastopol may well resist until the end.
Wintergewitter (Winter Storm)
Another super short scenario, centered on the Don's bend.
Can von Manstein save the 6th Army trapepd in Stalingrad while the soviets are on the verge of launching a massive offensive (Jupiter)?
This scenario is ideal to experiment the soviet's might in the end of 1942.
Uranus
This scenario runs from November 42 to March 43. You play only the southern fronts. Here the soviet is on the offensive and the german is exhausted. Can the soviet player reach Rostov to cut the entire Army Group A from its supply lines? And then, can he reach the Dniepr and cross it? That would shorten the war by 1 or 2 years!
The Grand campaign
Play the whole fronts from May 42 to March 43. I know players like that kind of super big scenarios.
Games will certainly be very different from history with such a timespan. Any side will have the time to crush the oppenent beyond any historical outcome. I believe this one will be perfect to play against a human opponent.
