I complete the Barbarossa Scenario with the newly released No Retreat! The Russian Front PC wargame on Steam. Designed by Carl Paradis and Published by Avalon Digital, this game recreates strategic level combat on the East Front of World War 2, based on the GMT Games board game of the same name. At the end I offer up some impresssions on gameplay as well.
