Our take on Drive on Moscow
The focus on one historical campaign gives the game a tightly defined strategic setting, but limits the variety of eras, locations, and conflicts available within the package. Its sector-based turns also prioritize deliberate timing over continuous battlefield control.
What is Drive on Moscow?
Drive on Moscow is a turn-based World War II strategy game about the battle for the Soviet capital.
Players command either Soviet defenders or Axis forces across three scenarios and a full campaign, moving tanks, cavalry, infantry, airborne units, and other troops on a campaign map. An impulse-based system activates individual sectors, making the timing of each command part of the campaign plan. Weather changes the map during play, while distance and extreme winter conditions affect the struggle. The game supports online matches, face-to-face play, and games against distinct AI opponents. It includes a tutorial, quick-start guide, full rules, historical photographs, commentary, replay tools, leaderboards, statistics, and an online tournament system.
