The largest military offensive in history has ground to a halt and it's time for the Red Army to press the German Army back towards the Fatherland. The German 6th Army has surrendered at Stalingrad and the Russians have a renewed fighting spirit. It will take another 2 1/2 years to beat them into submission, all the way to the inner city of Berlin, but in the end the German forces capitulate. Red Victory is the long awaited sequel to “Advance of the Reich” published over seven years ago.
In the mean time the Squad Battles engine has received many upgrades and the level of detail covered in each game has grown. The number of scenarios included in this title has almost tripled, as have the number of maps available for player use. The last half of the Eastern Front is covered in detail here with multiple scenarios from battles in Kharkov, Warsaw, Kursk, Kiev, Korsun & Berlin to name but a few.
