The conjectured departure from the historic timeline that resulted in the design of this game is assumed to have taken place in mid-September 1939. Hitler receives a flash of intuition. He concludes it would be a waste of time to redeploy the Wehrmacht to the western front in 1940. He tells his generals: The time will never be better to destroy the Bolshevik power than in the coming year, and he decides to move east.

All of which has resulted in this low-complexity, strategic-level, alternative history wargame.
