Crisis in the Ukraine is an operational level simulation of the Soviet spring offensive that resulted in the pocketing of the German First Panzer Army in March, 1944, during which eight Soviet armies, under the direction of Marshal Zhukov, encircled the German First Panzer Army. The Germans, part of von Manstein's Army Group South, executed a daring and brilliant breakout in blizzard conditions. In this fluid game of attack and counter-attack, both players are challenged with offensive and defensive actions. The game uses the "Panzergruppe Guderian" game system with numerous variations to fit this battle.
