In the summer of 1942, the German juggernaut could not be stopped, and both sides believed that Stalingrad would fall within mere weeks. But six months later, winter weather, a lack of supplies, and a failed relief effort saw the entire German 6th Army, or what was left of it, surrender.Take command of the German forces (plus some minor Axis powers), and see if you can match their lightning thrust into the fateful city. Or command the Soviet forces, and put up a desperate defense as you await the winter and a massive counter-offensive that could turn the tide of the war. The famous city of Stalingrad gets its own board, and features ferries, snipers, and notoriously close-quarters fighting.
