The Hero City

The Hero City (THC) depicts the desperate battles between late September 1943 and April 1944 in the Army Group North sector of the Russian front. Soviet priorities were to establish a rail connection into Leningrad, evict the Axis forces from the Leningrad Oblast, and force their way into the Baltic States. Well aware this hammer was about to fall, Army Group North prepared the Panther Line defensive belt along the borders of Estonia and Latvia. The Axis forces managed—barely—to hold at the Panther line, but the situation could have spiraled into disaster. The campaign here laid the foundations for the drama during the summer of 1944, and many of the German units in The Hero City will end the war trapped in Courland. OCS Game 4-23, preparing for pre-order. Designer: Antony Birkett. Developer: Chip Saltsman. Four maps, 5 countersheets, scale is 1 hex = 5 mi/8 km.  Campaign game is 63 turns, from 26 September 1943 until 26 April 1944.
