Winning the Game can be done in three ways. The French roll successfully on the Negotiation Table; conversely the Russians throw the Negotiations out; Paris Morale goes off the scale to the advantage of either side. Finally at the end of the 34 turns whoever has the advantage wins. If the French lose on the Negotiation Table they have lost, they still have to get their Army back home to Poland. This allows the Russian Player to do some attacking; well worth playing.
The French may win by storming Moscow and opening Negotiations. Once Negotiations start both sides go into Quarters and nobody moves, but time goes on, a few neutral throws may stall the French enough that the snows appear and you can guess what that means. This is a very interesting mechanism and really does work very well. For such a big game it does play very well, whilst the Forces are very large there aren’t that many actual Counters on the Map. With a fast Player turns can be as short as 20 minutes. Due to its 34 turns the Campaign is not one for an evening. There are also 5 smaller Scenarios to play.
