About this game

Guderian simulates the critical World War II campaign near Smolensk, during the German advance toward Moscow. The German player commands a panzergruppe and must use blitzkrieg tactics to encircle and overrun Soviet divisions while pushing deep enough to make Moscow’s capture possible.

The Soviet player must counter the German advance and attack German forward units to disrupt their supply. The game can also be played solitaire as either side.
