About the game
Savage Streets covers the desperate battle between the German 6th Army and the Soviet 62nd Army for control of central Stalingrad and the all-important ferry landings during the two week period from September 14th to September 27th, 1942. This Area-move game is inspired by the system used for the game Rattenkrieg: Assault on the Tracktor Factory by Turning Point Simulations. This game is designed both as a two-player game and as a solitaire game (in the solitaire game the player takes the German side). In the two player game, players alternate placing reinforcements and moving their units. Combat is then resolved in areas containing units from both sides. In the solitaire game, the Soviet reinforcement and movement is driven by the rules. The German player immediately wins if no Soviet counters remain on the map at the end of any turn, or if he controls certain victory regions at the end of Turn 9. Otherwise, the Soviet player wins. Savage Streets is one of the games included in Multi-Man Publishing's (MMP) Special Ops magazine Issue #1 (Summer 2011).
