About the Game

This game is a PC conversion of the board war game 1941, which is a hex-strategy turn-based game for two players set in the World War II campaign of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union and the Soviet counter-attack.

The game supports only humans as players. It can be played locally (hot-seat) or as a play-by-email type setting utilizing save files which can be transferred between remote players.

The game's files include a word document called 1941Rule.pdf, which contains an exact scan of the rules booklet of the original board game, and this document should be used for all details on rules and features of the actual game. The actual gameplay assumes a certain familiarity with the original game, or at least the rules in the rules document, so this is recommended reading.
