Description from the packaging.

November 15th, 1942.

The cold arctic wind stings your hands and face- and the winter is just beginning. It is the second winter of the Russo-German war... a time of desperate, fluid battles of punch and counter-punch, siege and rescue, amid the frozen swamps and lakes of north-central Russia.

V for Victory- Game 2, Velikiye Luki, takes the series East to the Russian Front of World War II. As the German commander, you must rescue your encircled forces that are holding out at the ancient fortress town of Velikiye Luki, while protecting the Vitebsk-Leningrad railroad, vital to the supply of Army Group North. Or, as the Russian commander, you must take Velikiye Luki and advance to the railroad, to cut off and destroy the Fascist invaders.

Variety.
Lead your forces against the computer or another player. Test your skills as a World War II combat commander in seven scenarios of increasing difficulty.

• To The Rescue: The 8th Panzer Division attacks to save the besieged garrison at the railroad town of Novosokolniki, threatened by Russian ski and armored units.

• Into the City: Russian infantry with strong artillery support penetrates into the heart of Velikiye Luki in a bid to take the city before the German relief force can arrive.

• Fortress in the Snow: Several German divisions attempt to break the Russian stranglehold on Velikiye Luki and rescue its hard-pressed defenders.

• Eight More Kilometers: Only eight kilometers separate the German relief force from the encircled garrison at Velikiye Luki. Can the panzers make it through this time?

• Last Chance: The German forces surrounded at Velikiye Luki are nearly out of food, ammunition, and water. This is the last chance for the German player to rescue them.

• Red Storm: Six Russian divisions smash the German front line and surround Velikiye Luki, threatening its garrison with annihilation.
