About the game
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. In Axis & Allies: Stalingrad, you can take command of the German forces (plus some minor Axis powers) to see whether you can match their lightning thrust into the fateful city — or you can 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 game board featuring ferries, snipers, and notoriously close-quarters fighting. Buy time with blood, prepare for the winter, and keep your supply lines open! Features Command the German or the Soviet Forces and fight in the famous city of Stalingrad! Buy time with blood, prepare for the winter, and keep your supply lines open! Contains two scenarios: Race to Stalingrad and Operation Uranus! Over 150 plastic miniatures including 2 new units: German StuG III Assault Gun & Soviet Katyusha Rocket Launcher! Two gameboards! The famous city of Stalingrad gets its own board and features ferries, snipers, and notoriously close-quarters fighting. Order cards control the flow of the game making learning the rules easy! —description from the publisher
