About the game

What is Holdfast: Russia 1941-42?

Publisher's blurb: HoldFast: Russia 1941-42 is our strategic World War II game on the Russian Campaign. It is the first of our Campaigns of World War II series. It uses wooden blocks for fog of war and hex movement. Clean mechanics and a manageable number of units allow for the entire campaign to be played in a evening. Objectives are clear. Hold two of the three victory location cities at the end of the game. But with mud and supplies a constant factor, German armor always a threat, and winter bringing a boost to Russian resources and manpower, it is not easy for either side to HOLD FAST. “The world will hold its breath…” Holdfast Russia FAQ
