Operation Barbarossa
In the Second World War game Operation Barbarossa, you take control of the German forces that attacked the Soviet Union in June, 1941. Facing you is the computer AI wearing a Soviet military uniform, and doing its best to make the famous Russian winter as cold and harsh for you as is practically possible.
In a nutshell, your aim as the commander of the German army is to gain as much ground as quickly as possible. The further you have pushed the Russian army by the end of the year, the better chances of winning the war you have.
