The verdict is in! This is an overview and review of the solitaire wargame Campaign: Fall Blau. Designed by Martin Melbardis and published by Catastrophe Games. Campaign: Fall Blau was the winner of the Board Game Geek (BGG) 2020 Solitaire Print and Play Contest as Best Wargame.
Campaign: Fall Blau is a solitaire wargame that takes place during WW2 and puts the player in charge of the German summer offensive of 1942 in Southern Russia, code named operation Fall Blau (Case Blue). Pick your three generals and use your resources wisely in order to obtain your campaign's objectives.
One month turns. Decide which card (objective) to go after, each with a unique set of Soviet defences. Manage supplies required for each offensive, or choose to take an operational pause. Receive random event cards that are mostly beneficial but a few are Soviet counterattacks that can throw a serious monkey-wrench into your plans.
Play continues until the snows begin, and the Russian winter ends all further attacks.
