Fall Blau uses a modified version of the classic Operation Typhoon/Victory in the West system which uses a randomly drawn strength chit pull for strong units to determine their combat value. The basic turn sequence is classic IGO-UGO which consists of movement and combat, with possible attacks for mechanized units during movement. Planes are simplified through the use of Air Points.
