Kiev: Largest WW2 Encirclement Gameplay, Trailers and Related Videos

About the application:

Kiev: Biggest WW2 Encirclement is a tactic boardgame set on WWII Eastern Front in 1941, modelling the historical happenings at divisional level. From Joni Nuutinen: By a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011 You are in command of the German armed forces planning to make the biggest encirclement in the military history by using two fast-moving panzer pincers, one from the north and one from the south, to encircle the large number of Red Troops formations located at and behind the town of Kiev. Historical background: Due to the economic importance of the southern USSR, the most and best Soviet troops were placed here. This meant, that when the Germans invaded in 1941, the southern group advanced most slowly. Eventually, Germans postponed the middle group's advance towards Moscow that was evacuated and empty, and decided to turn the famed panzer divisions led by General Guderian southwards towards the rear place of Kiev. And if the southern group's own panzer troops should finally receive their act together (they were also tasked with seizing the heavy industrial town of Dnepropetrovsk) and advance north to link up with the Guderian's panzers, a million Red Troops soldiers should be slash off. In spite of his generals' pleas, Stalin refused to empty the Kiev place until it was too late, and instead kept on sending more and more Red Troops reserve army towards Guderian's armored pincer in order to stop the German encirclement movement and keep on to the industrially necessary area. The effect was a colossal war that pulled in more and more divisions from both sides as overstretched Germans simply struggled to slash off and include such an unprecedented number of Soviet Armies in the operational area. Do you have the nerves and maneuvering skills to drive two narrow wedges deep in the USSR to pull off the historic encirclement in a timely manner, or do you cave in and select a wider yet slower attack? Or maybe your panzer pincers themselves will slash off...
