Operation Typhoon

Tax included
Operation Typhoon was my first wargame, purchased in a London shop in 1978 ! It was therefore the cornerstone of my passion for many years... Very original at the time, the power of the counters was only known during combat in what would later be called "the Victory in the West system"!
What a pleasure to see it reissued today! The game simulates the final German pushes towards Moscow and the counterattacks that followed during the winter of 1941. The box comes in a large GOSS-style format, which allows for larger maps with larger hexagons and counters than in the original version.

In the autumn of 1941, the last desperate German assault on the Soviet capital is underway. The staggering German successes of the past summer have led to one still unanswered question: Can the war be ended in one last, decisive stroke aimed at the heart of the Soviet nation?
Operation Typhoon is an operational level recreation of this titanic struggle. Players will not be concerned with the intricacies of low-level combat, nor the grand strategic questions of the respective High Commands. Rather, players will be faced with the problems of a corps and army level assault: distributing meager armored formations to the attack, choosing a strong defensive line, allocating supply, and assigning air units to ground support and interdiction missions. The victor will be the player with the greater ingenuity and operational sense.
This updated reprint of the original SPI game delivers new artwork on the maps and counters, enlarging the maps to handle the larger 5/8-inch counters. Additional markers are provided, such as optional Hedgehog defenses, to aid play. Charts and tables and rulebook have been reproduced with new layout and artwork. While the rules have been reformatted with official errata, no changes have been made to the game system. Players are getting the original SPI game in an enlarged and enhanced format. Open the box and find out whether the German offensive on the Soviet capital can be stopped. Pick your side and determine your strategy. The decisions are yours.
