This is a turn-limited version of Demyansk Pocket 1942, a turn based strategy game set on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. Your mission is to re-open the route to the German units the Red Army has managed to encircle near Demyansk. By Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011.
Game: You take the command of both the encircled units and the fresh divisions attempting to re-establish a land route from Staraya Russa to Demyansk as quickly as possible. To have a chance to seize the top spot in the Hall of Fame you need to lead units through the Red Army rifle divisions as quickly as possible - and maintain the newly opened route for 9 consecutive turns. All this while fiercely defending the cut-off Demyansk area with poorly supplied Wehrmacht and auxiliary units.
Objective: The game is over after you re-establish a connection between the cities of Staraya Russa and Demyansk - and maintain that link for 9 consecutive turns.
