Welcome to DRIVE TO THE BALTIC!, the Soviet drive to annihilate Armee Gruppe Nord and the German counter-attack known as Operation Doppelkopf...
Drive to the Baltic! is an operational level simulation of the Soviet campaign to cut off German Heeresgruppe Nord from Heeresgruppe Mitte and the subsequent German counterattack, code named Operation Doppelkopf, to reopen a corridor to the beleaguered army group which took place in July and August 1944. The game is intended for two players, one taking each side, but is very well suited for solitaire play.

MiH brings back the Turning the Tables system by popular demand...
Drive to the Baltic! uses the game system of the popular Turning the Tables (Kharkov 1942), designed by Dirk Blennemann and also available from Moments in History. The players of this popular system demanded new games utilizing its strengths, including fog of war, overall excitement and fast play. Drive to the Baltic! is the answer.
The game is played in game turns, each representing three days of real time. During a game turn a player moves and fights with his units and expends C3I Points. Both players have many opportunities to attack and defend, making for exciting and varied game play.
The Turning the Tables game system used in Drive to
the Baltic! is unique in its combination of easy to use mechanics
and the depiction of fog of war. The system integrates various
important aspects of combined arms warfare with a strong emphasis
on uncertainty. The combination of Tactical Superiority determination,
Random Events and Combat Chits make it possible to present a
rather elaborate combat system with little ‘overhead’
in the form of complexity while allowing for the use of the system
in solitaire play, including its fog of war features. Players
will immediately notice that the combat system captures the flair
of warfare on the Eastern Front and produces realistic, and exciting
results, while remaining easy to learn and handle.
