Stalingrad, Before and After

In 1942, a titanic struggle is reaching its climax in the boundless, trackless expanses of southern Russia. The stakes cannot be higher as you take command of battle-hardened Wehrmacht or Red Army forces. Manouver armies and fronts, thrust and encircle, capture cities and cross continents... but never, ever forget to watch your supply lines.

Players fill in for famous commanders such as von Manstein and Zhukov, practicing the art of operational warfare in a novel gaming system focused squarely on combat and manouver.
