MOSCOW DEFENDED!
Copyright 2007 Louis R. Coatney

Designer: Lou Coatney
Chief Playtester: Robert Bernales

Dedication: MOSCOW DEFENDED! is dedicated in remembrance and respect:

to the Polish, Russian, Jewish and other Eastern European peoples who suffered, endured, and contributed so much to Allied Victory over Nazi Germany and its Axis partners.
and to the Red Army and people of Moscow, who handed Nazi Germany its first decisive defeat on land in the Second World War.

There is also a MOSCOW DEFENDED! thread about the game on John Kranz's Talk.ConSimWorld wargaming forum.
Look under Boardgaming/Individual Game or Series Discussion/Individual Games.
(Set the game list to "alphabetical." It really helps.)

And now: Here are the game's components, to print off and assemble so that it may be played. Players-students will also need a single six-sided die (or chits numbered 1-6, to be drawn out of a hat) for the randomized combat results tables.

Mapboard AND Units in .jpg format
You will want to print these off as large as possible and then enlarge the map with a photocopier after that, so that the mapboard comes out to a width of about 11"/28cms. Cream is an excellent map color.
The transportation lines are roads. Railroads are implicit in the game system.
The Russian 4. Parachute Korps starts the game in Kaluga.
I have now changed Western Front to a 2-3 instead of a 1-2.
Combat Results and Terrain Effects Tables, etc. in .htm/Web format -- rev. 27Nov07
Air Combat and Support Tables and Abilities in .htm/Web format
Schedule, Replacements, and Weather Effects in .htm/Web format
Unit log (with starting positions)-- Under Construction in .htm/Web format.
Rules? Rules-shmules! Who needs them?? (Check the charts and tables sheets for "explanations.")
Designer's comments: Design of the game, Advice on fighting the battle, Historical commentary, and Bibliography

Or would you rather play my longer, more detailed game of this crucial World War 2 battle, Moscow Attacked!?

Another free, Battle of Moscow game is at the "www.Grognard.com" website. It is designed by the award winning designer, Frank Chadwick, and reflects his own interpretation of the battle. I'd urge you try Frank's game too, to see how two different designers can each model the battle in his own way.

Now would you like to go back to my home page to see/print off the other games and/or cardstock model warships I have designed?

If you are a friend, and/or if you would like to share info and ideas about military and naval history and game designing and cardstock model shipbuilding, and/or you have any questions about my MOSCOW DEFENDED! board wargame feel free to write me at: Lou Coatney, 626 Western Ave., Macomb, IL 61455 USA
... or e-mail me at ELCOAT@Hotmail.com.

You may also telephone me at (309)836-1447. You can leave a message and/or your mailing address on my recording machine if I don't answer; but I cannot afford to return calls.

Thanks for your interest in MOSCOW DEFENDED!....:-)
