The Tigers are Burning: Campaigns for the Ukraine, 1943-44 is a strategic level simulation of the Soviet reconquest of that vital area..
The onus is on the German player to be very aggressive in this game as only the Soviet Player may gain victory points. At the end of every game turn, starting with turn 2, the Soviet player checks to see if his victory point count matches what is required to win (e.g.- 15 points on Turn 2, 25 points on Turn 5)... if it does, the German player loses.
