World at War #65: Operation Typhoon (Solitaire) puts you in command of Germany’s Army Group Center during the final desperate drive toward Moscow in late 1941. Designed as an operational–strategic level solitaire wargame, it recreates the intensity, uncertainty, and logistical strain of Operation Typhoon — the German offensive that sought to end the Soviet campaign before winter set in.

• Purpose-Built Solitaire System: As the commanding player, you control all German forces while the game system automatically manages Soviet defence and resistance. Enemy forces are generated dynamically based on terrain and operational conditions, ensuring an unpredictable and replayable experience.
• Operational-Level Command: Plan and execute the German advance toward Moscow, coordinating the movements of divisions and panzer groups across the snow-covered Russian plains. The outcome depends on the speed and precision of your operations, as you strive to seize key objectives before weather and resistance stall the offensive.
• Strategic Adaptability: While designed for solitaire play, Operation Typhoon is also adaptable for cooperative team play. Players can divide command — one leading northern and central formations, the other managing southern forces — or have one player act as the Soviets for an asymmetric experience.
• Authentic Campaign Scale: Each turn represents one to two weeks of operations, and each hex covers approximately 7.5 miles (12 km). Units represent historical German divisions and Soviet defensive formations that emerge through the system’s randomised generation mechanics.

Operation Typhoon challenges players to balance aggression with caution. Every turn brings difficult decisions about logistics, movement, and timing. Success requires maintaining momentum despite worsening weather, Soviet counterattacks, and the growing exhaustion of German formations — all while racing against the inevitable arrival of winter.
