Strategy & Tactics #68
Kharkov
Soviet Spring Offensive 12 May to 21 May 1942
Kharkov is a brigade/division level simulation of the Spring 1942 Soviet strategic offensive.  Basically, the game is divided into two periods. The dividing point is game-turn five, when the Axis troops in the Southern Sector are released. In the first half of the game, the Axis Player must hang on grimly with relatively few troops. But the Soviet Player had better "make hay while the sun shines," because the later half of the game is generally dominated by the Axis Player through the conduct of his counter-offensive. Thus, in Kharkov, both Players are called upon to both attack and defend, and to win, a Player must perform well at both.
The game system of Kharkov is an adaptation of the system pioneered in SPI's Panzergruppe Guderian game.
