I have put a write up of the S&T Moscow 1941 up on my blog. a non-boardgame player just looking for the odd easy play title, may be interested in this one.

Interesting. I have recently been looking at a print-your-own game called Battle for Moscow (https://grognard.com/bfm/game.html) which looks very similar to this. Fewer units, smaller map.

If that is the Frank Chadwick game, it is very good and worth your time.

I did a write up on that here LINK

As always a great overview of the game. A tad too long for our mid-week meets ups, but intriguing nonetheless.

Thanks all. Steve, I was surprised by the length and I think for many, an hour shorter would be the sweet spot for this sort of game.
