Army Group South, accompanied by various Axis-Allied Armies, attempted to seize the valuable communications junction at Rostov and establish bridgeheads across the Donets and lower Don rivers. In the fighting around Rostov, the Germans suffered their first strategic setback in their campaign against Russia, as the Soviet Army drove the German mechanized spearhead from this vital area. The Axis Player controls all the German and Axis-allied (Rumanian, Hungarian, Italian and Slovakian) units; the Soviet Player controls all the Soviet units.\n\nThis marks the sixth installment in SPI's Moment in Conflict Series for the Army Group South Game System. Rostov is an operational simulation, which recreates the pivotal battle of Rostov in 1941.  A battle which saw the Germans actually take hold of Rostov, only to be driven out within weeks by wave after wave of Soviet attacks.\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 2 days\nHex: 10.5 miles \/ 17 kilometers\nUnits: Regiment to Corps\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 17 x 22\" five-color mapsheets\nOne dual-side printed countersheet (200 1\/2\" counters)\nOne 8-page Army Group South rulebook\nOne 4-page Rostov rulebook\nTwo dual-side printed Army Group South Charts \u0026amp; Tables\n\nSolitaire Playability: High\nComplexity Level: Medium\nPlayers: 2 or more\nPlaying Time: 3-6 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.00 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e John H.
