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.
