Proud Monster: The Barbarossa Campaign

About this board game

Proud Monster: The Barbarossa Campaign 1941 is a two-player simulation of the first six months of the 1941–1945 Russo-German War, with an advertised play time of 660 minutes.

The game covers the opening six months of the campaign at a broad operational scale. Each hex on the two maps represents approximately 20 miles from side to opposite side, providing a wide geographic framework for the conflict.

Units are represented primarily at the division level. The counter mix also includes a smaller number of corps, brigades, regiments, and independent battalions, reflecting several levels of military organization within the simulation.

• Two 34 × 22-inch game maps
• 959 die-cut counters
• A rulebook
• One cardstock chart and table sheet

Each full game turn after the first represents two weeks. This turn scale lets the campaign’s initial months unfold through a sequence of substantial time periods while keeping the focus on the larger military picture.

With its large maps, extensive counter mix, and historical campaign scope, Proud Monster: The Barbarossa Campaign presents a substantial tabletop treatment of the 1941 German-Soviet conflict. Released in 1994, it is designed for two players and uses detailed map and counter components to represent the campaign’s forces and geography.
