About this expansion

The Russian Campaign II is a 1986 two-player game with an approximately 90-minute playing time. Designed by John Edwards, the original designer of The Russian Campaign, it presents an update and revision of that earlier game.

This release is a focused kit intended for use with the Avalon Hill Game Co. version of The Russian Campaign. Rather than introducing a separate game system in the information provided, it supplies updated material for players who already have that edition.

The kit includes a four-page set of rules updates. These revisions provide the central updated rules content for the game, giving players a defined reference when using the kit with the Avalon Hill version.

  • Four pages of rules updates
  • A sheet of revised counters
  • Guidance to extend the map by two hexes for end-game play

The revised counter sheet is designed for use with the Avalon Hill Game Co. version, complementing the updated rules. Players are also encouraged to extend the map by two hexes when reaching the end-game portion of play, adding a specific map adjustment to the kit’s recommendations.

For collectors and players interested in the development of The Russian Campaign, The Russian Campaign II documents a designer-led revision of the original release. Its compact format, clear component list, and two-player focus make it a concise update for the relevant Avalon Hill edition.

Whether approached as a rules reference, a set of revised counters, or an end-game map adjustment, this 1986 kit centers on refining the original experience while preserving its connection to the earlier game. The result is a dedicated update for two players and a stated 90-minute play time.
