Defiant Russia 1941 - The Great Patriotic War

In the early morning hours of June 22nd, 1941, Axis armies – German, Romanian and Finnish – launched a sneak attack on the Soviet Union, touching off the greatest conflict in human history. Millions of men fought and died in what became known as the Great Patriotic War, which would ultimately end with the Red Army mounting its battle flags over the ruins of Berlin.

Defiant Russia is our fast-playing game of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa. It’s a completely new edition of the game we produced in the early 2000’s: new rules, more pieces, more map, more scenarios, more fun.
