Design Notes (On to Moscow v1.02):

- This is a 48 turn campaign expansion scenario to Brubaker’s masterful Operation Typhoon battleset. It is specifically built on the v1.02 OPN Typhoon version.

- This scenario puts more pressure on the German commander to succeed early on. Replacements are rare and the Russian player will have strong units for the last 20+ turns... question is do enough Russian units survive the German opening to defend Moscow properly?

- Germans get 3 additional Pz Korps (2 of them as alert units) while the Russians get an additional tank division. Russian tank brigades are more mobile initially. Overall Germans are slightly more mobile across the board.

- German 7, 145, and 210 Construction Engineer units each have pontoon capability.

- If the German player captures the 3 Moscow VP hexes it’s an instant win for the Germans. Other changes include additional step for German Infantry regiments, German rail movement capability, and +4 shock Russian t-34 units.

- Also, the scenario includes a fully functional "unknown units" feature. Generally this yields weaker 25%, standard unit 50%, & stronger unit 25% of the time. This is a highly recommended feature.
