Description

Barbarossa: The War in Russia 1941-1945 is a 1-player war game for the TRS-80 CoCo.

The player controls German forces against their Soviet opponent during Operation Barbarossa. Each unit of time covers 1 month of game play, and different weather conditions are present each month. All German and Soviet units are displayed graphically on the screen. Cities can be displayed with the country currently in control. Each unit gets limited movement points per turn, and each unit has individual strength points.

Combat occurs when German forces are moved near a Soviet unit, and total losses are displayed after combat. Air attacks can be used to reinforce player attacks by asking for airflotte assistance prior to troop movement. Supply, terrain, weather, air power, and blitz affect combat results. Supply points are distributed to all forces, and determine fighting prowess. Supply points are determined by cities captured and surviving until the Spring, while supply points are used by all troop actions and movements.

Game play continues until all Russian cities are captured, total strength of units falls below 75, or the game reaches January 1944. Victory is achieved if all Russian cities are captured.
