Drive on Moscow

Drive on Moscow is a turn-based war strategy for the PS4, PC and iOS platform, the second installment of the Crisis in Command cycle. The game was developed by Shenandoah Studio.

The action of the game begins in 1941 and tells the story of the so-called Operation Typhoon. This cryptonym was used to describe the German plan of attack, which eventually led to the Battle of Moscow. The clashes are played on a larger map than in the previous part of the cycle, and we can direct both the Wehrmacht and Red Army troops. Ted Racier, an award-winning war board designer, including Paths of Glory, was hired to develop specific scripts at Drive on Moscow. The first missions tell the story of the march on the title city itself, and later simulate its siege. The campaign ends with a Soviet counter-attack. The German side can then try to conquer the city, or encircle it and cut it off from the rest of the world. The Soviet side then gains victory points by keeping points, eliminating Wehrmacht units and generally disturbing the opponent's plans.

Production focuses on realism and tactical depth. All units were recreated on the basis of historical records, the course of the clashes is influenced by dozens of aspects of the battlefield, and each victory has to be occupied with a lot of effort. During battles, the terrain and weather play a key role. Deep mud makes it difficult to manoeuvre, while the arrival of winter freezes the ground and makes it easier to move around, but at the same time brings new problems for the Germans due to the lack of equipment adapted to low temperatures.
