About this game
The game supports only humans as players. It can be played locally (hot-seat) or as a play-by-email type setting utilizing save files which can be transferred between remote players.
The game's files include a word document called 1941Rule.pdf, which contains an exact scan of the rules booklet of the original board game, and this document should be used for all details on rules and features of the actual game. The actual gameplay assumes a certain familiarity with the original game, or at least the rules in the rules document, so this is recommended reading.

Optional rules development - first update
The original board game rules supported several 'optional rules' which could be taken to use in any combination in addition to the standard rules. In this update groundwork is laid for implementing such optional rules in this digital version as well. However, this update actually implements only one of such rules, namely the possibility for the Axis player to use airpoints for bombing Soviet railroads, reducing the Soviet rail capacity on a turn by two points for each airpoint spent to this purpose.Read full article on Community Announcements (suni)Patch NotesOfficial

Fixed some achievement trigger conditions
Fixed city-capturing achievements to not trigger when watching recording. Fixed achievement on almost-safe odds exchange ("Even Safe Can Be Sorry") to not trigger when attacker did not lose a unit after all due to all attackers being at least triple strength compared to defender total strength.Read full article on Community Announcements (suni)Patch NotesOfficial
Fixed a crash on recording playback + other defects
Recording playback would crash if a combat event included units on the very edge of the map - fixed. The Axis non-rail portion of the supply line was not correctly reduced to one on muddy weather (turn 5) - fixed. Supply sources on map edges (east / west) were not checked for being friendly - it was possible to deploy a reinforcement to a hex under enemy control - fixed. Hexes 1506 (Yaroslavl) and 1005 erroneously acted like they didn't have railroad, preventing units in those to move by rail - fixed.Read full article on Community Announcements (suni)Patch NotesOfficial
Fixed recording airpoints + die roll being covered
Recording showed erroneously separate events for air points usage within combat, which could cause remaining air point amounts to be wrong (even go negative). Swapped recording playback and combat ratio dialog locations on playback to prevent the playback form from covering the die roll video form on combats happening on the east side of the map.Read full article on Community Announcements (suni)
