Introduction:

Drang Nach Osten! is a historical wargame/simulation of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 that lead to the gates of Moscow and ultimately to the destruction of the Wehrmacht and the fall of the Third Reich. Drang Nach Osten! is a complete wargame of the largest invasion in history, but may be incorporated into the larger series of game/simulations collectively titled Europa. Drang Nach Osten! carries the Russian Campaign from June 1941 to the end of the Soviet winter counteroffensive in March 1942. Unentschieden (Europa II) continues the campaign through 1944-45. The two games together comprise the entire war in the East, 1941-45.

Game Components:


Five 21 x 27" mapsheets (numbered Europa 1 through 5).
One set of eight unit countersheets (for a total of 1792 counters) consisting of:
Two Europa sheet 1
One Europa sheet 2
Three Europa sheet 3
One Europa sheet 4
One Europa sheet 5 (half-sheet)
One rules folder and cover.
One set of charts and tables consisting of:
One Soviet Initial Order of Battle
One Soviet Order of Appearance
One Soviet Units Appearing Chart
One German Initial Order of Battle
One German Order of Appearance
One German Units Appearing Chart
Two Combat Results Tables
One Unit Identification Chart
One Time Record Chart
One Terrain Effects on Combat Chart



Notes:

Each hex is 16 miles, each turn is two weeks. Ground units are Army HQs, Divisions (and Soviet Tank Corps), Brigades/Regiments, and Battalions. Air units are groups of 40-60 aircraft. There is a fair amount of unit specialisation, although at 20 pages the rules are far less intimidating by today's standards than when they first appeared over thirty years ago. Drang Nach Osten! lasts for 19 half-monthly game turns (Jun II 41 through Mar II 42), so allowing for the initial set up 20 sessions of several hours is a realistic playing time.
