The players voted for a side-game over the -1 rule. Their game, their tournament, their choice....

What I should have done was update the map first, then make them play the side game on the new map! Thought of that too late :-((

Will still take AT LEAST twice as long as if they'd gone to -1. 3-player games can be very time-consuming, escalate or not. But take your time, guys!!!

I didn't mention it this time and I usually get shot down, but when there are three left and it's a stalemate and vote for a 1x1 round robin. Everyone has their one ideas. I'm not trying to hold up anything. If there was a setting for -1 where I could practice or something, but the games I've said ok to because that's what the other two players wanted. I have lost every time. I can't remember ever winning one and there really isn't any way to practice it.

And now their SIDE game is well on the way to being stalemated. 3-player, escalate, the lowest troop count is 72, next set will be 20. LOL. The new map will NEVER be released. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Maybe they should start a side-side game to decide the side game. *snark*

But Assassin. Works well for 3p, especially in a small map where tert counts don't get too high.

The tank battle of Kursk is one of the most (in)famous of WW2. Although it didn't happen during Barbarossa, it would be interesting to name the territory it's located in after the battlefield. There is actually an oblast (province) named Kursk, although during the war it was part of the Oryol oblast. (I would prefer the region Oryol to be renamed Kursk)


I agree - Kursk would be a better name :)

welcome back! and with new player colours :)

In fact, I was quite happy with the previous colour scheme, with the exception of the default neutral, which I wanted changed. But it works now too...

Hi there! Is this a bug in the Barbarossa Map? I hold only the command of Denmark and have 12 territories in total, but the 'Troops Due' column says I have a deploy of 10. How is that possible? Please see attached image.

It's this game: https://www.majorcommand.com/games/503213/

Thanks! Fixed!

Bavaria was accidently left out of the Germany command bonus, so you were given the Germany bonus even though you did not have Bavaria.

I added Bavaria to the Germany command bonus, and now it correctly shows you as 5 troops due, not 10.

Good catch!

Excellent nice looking map with historical theme and interesting game-play! Maybe the red colour given to the selected regions is not the best choice, though. I think something like pink, purple or blue could work.
