# Battle for Moscow 

[[_TOC_]]

My version of the board wargame.

Original page: [grognard,com][]. 

This uses my [wargame][] $`\LaTeX`$ package.

## Content 

- [BattleForMoscowA4.pdf][] Everything in one file: Rules, counters,

  boards, and charts.

- [BattleForMoscowA4Booklet.pdf][] The rules formatted into a booklet.

  Print on a duplex A4 printer with long-edge binding.  Fold the

  sheets into double A5 sheets and stable in the fold to create a nice

  booklet.

- [materialsA4.pdf][] The game boards (basic and extended), charts

  (basic and extended), and counters. 

The documents are designed to be printed on an A4 printer.  If you do

not have access to an A4 printer (say because you're in the US which

still hasn't figured out that almost the rest of the world is using a

more sensible format than Letter), then your can use these equivalent

files

| ISO                              | Letter                               |

Download [artifacts.zip][] for all files, or [browse][] files. 

## VASSAL module 

There is a VASSAL module generated from the above documents via

[`export.tex`](export.tex), the Python script `wgexport.py` from the

[wargame][] package, and the local patching script

[`patch.py`](patch.py).
