How it feels

A methodical, hex-based wargame where each turn is planned and then executed, re-creating the operational feel of the Stalingrad campaign.

What players say

Players praise the WEGO system for its realistic planning and lack of battlefield omniscience, but some find the interface clunky and buggy with hangs. The AI is a worthy opponent, though the tutorial could be clearer and learning the mechanics takes time.
