The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A methodical, historically grounded wargame that plays out large-scale WWII operations at a deliberate, contemplative pace.

What players say
Players praise the historical accuracy and the campaign's short length of 3-4 hours, but many find the sequel, Stalingrad, substantially better in quality of life and content, making the original hard to recommend unless on sale. Some players split on difficulty, calling it confusingly balanced by history or easy to grasp once learned.
