About the Game
"Kharkov 1943", published in 1999 in "Vae Victis" issue 25, is a wargame which covers the operations "Star" and "Gallop" around Kharkov in February-March 1943. This wargame uses a variation of the system used in Vae Victis issue 13 for "Arnhem". The focus of the game system is on initiative and command, with alternating formation activations (i.e., the German player activates one General's command, then the Soviet player activates one General's command, and repeat until all the units are activated). This is one of Vae Victis's larger games in terms of counters and markers, but still fits on the standard Vae Victis map (which is far smaller than the typical ca. 2' x 3' American wargame map).
This issue also includes counters for a scenario for "Caesar: Conquest of Gaul," the Batte of Sos.
As with all Vae Victis wargames, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations in English are available online.
