German Partners: All Rumanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Finnish units are used and must be set up in their home countries.

Two Italian 4-3 infantry units can be set up in any hexes that are friendly to Germany (but not in Finland). No other Italian units are used.

Special rules

- The Soviet Union can buy up to 8 fortifications, 4 airfields, and 30 offensives before the scenario begins, subtracting the cost of these purchases from its 110 EPs. Installations are placed completed, not under construction.
- The Axis player automatically has initiative for the first three months of the scenario. Initiative for the Autumn season is determined normally.
- No strategic warfare is allowed in this scenario; skip that portion of the turn.
- During the Autumn seasonal turn, nations do not receive their normal income. Instead, each player receives income as listed in [7.1 ]. No Italian or Western Allies EPs are gained. The Soviet player rolls normally for his Siberian transfers.
- If the weather is fair during October, it is automatically winter during November. Weather effects on air units are determined normally for all months.

Victory

The German player earns victory points for capturing key city hexes, as follows:

2 points each for Kiev, Minsk, Odessa, Riga, Vilna
3 points each for Smolensk, Kharkov, Vorenezh, Rostov, Sevastopol, Murmansk, Maikop
10 points each for Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad

Points for an objective are halved if a land supply line cannot be traced from the city to a German supply source; minor ally (German partner) supply sources do not count.
Subtract 3 from the point total for every hex of Germany that is friendly to the Soviet Union at the end of the game.
Subtract 10 for every
German partner conquered by the U.S.S.R.
German Strategic Victory: 42 or more points
German Major Victory: 25-41 points
German Minor Victory: 19-24 points
Soviet Minor Victory*: 15-18 points
Soviet Major Victory: 10-14 points
Soviet Strategic Victory: 9 or fewer points

Extending the Scenario

An interesting game in progress after six months need not end with the December 1941 turn. Instead, players can proceed directly to the Winter 1942 seasonal turn by following the rules for scenario 8.

One modification is necessary to reflect the reduced Autumn 1941 income from scenario 7: The German player can place in the Winter box of the turn track one air unit, or one or two armour units, or an armor unit an air unit.

If none of these units are available in the force pool at the end of 1941, the German player gets nothing else in their place.

The Soviet player can place one air unit or one armor unit, if available.
