BARBAROSSASCENAJUOORDER OF BATILEThe tables below present the Orders of Battlefor the Soviet and Axis Armies on thefrontiers during the final moments before thecampaign began on June 22, 1941.Each formation in the Order of Battle' isbroken-out according to its superiorformation: Army Group for the Axis,Military District and Army for the Soviets.Shown directly below the name of eachsuperior formation are the number and typeof counters from the War in the East gamerequired to represent all the units comprisingthat formation.

Because mountain units are not differen-tiated from regular infantry in the game,infantry counters must be used to representthem on the game map. This is the case alsowith the single German cavalry division. Inaddition, note that Rumanian cavalrybrigades are represented with armored bri-gade counters; that Rumanian mountain, fortand marine brigades have been combined andare represented by infantry division equival-ents; and that the three Finnish brigades werealso combined into an infantry division equi-valent. The resulting unit set-up may be used

for either the Barbarossa Scenario or theCampaign Game of War in the East.

The German Army OB was provided by LeoNiehorster; the Soviet OB, by Ed McCarthy;and the Finnish OB, by Col. George A.Rasula. It must be noted that the Soviet OBis 'the most controversial. Any individualwishing to add his knowledge to the matter,or seeking further information, can write tothe authors in care of SPI.
