Our take on The Campaign Series: Fall Weiss
The campaign premise receives more attention than the practical demands of its systems. Supply depots, headquarters, command links, rivers, and a 20,000-hex map make this a structured operational game rather than a simple unit-moving exercise.
What is The Campaign Series: Fall Weiss?
Fall Weiss is a turn-based strategy game about the opening campaign of World War II.
Players command forces from Germany, the Soviet Union, or Poland across a 20,000-hex map covering Poland and surrounding areas. The game uses hexes, counters, supply depots, headquarters, and a chain of command to structure offensives and unit efficiency. Rivers can slow advances, while historical units include Panzers, Stukas, and Ulhans. More than 700 historical units are included, each with unique photographs. Campaign outcomes can diverge from history, with different possible scenarios and country-specific difficulty settings. The game also includes modding possibilities and is presented as a computer adaptation of the campaign.
