Stalingrad '42: Southern Russia, June-December, 1942
Stalingrad ‘42 is a division-level game on the Axis 1942 summer offensive towards Stalingrad and the Caucasus. Historically, this epic struggle lasted for 6 months and saw the Axis armies reach the Volga and the Caucasus Mountains. But Soviet resistance stiffened and final victory eluded the German army at Stalingrad and in the Caucasus. The ensuing November Soviet offensive trapped the Wehrmacht’s largest army (the 6th) at Stalingrad and marked the beginning of the end for Axis fortunes in World War II.

Excelente Simonitch!. Mismas mecánicas con cosas adaptadas a este escenario. Son wargames los de Simonitch que recomendaría para la gente que quiere iniciarse, aunque parezcan complicados de primera, Normandy, Ukranie son perfectos para empezar. La problemática de Stalingrad 42 viene en el tamaño de los planos desplegados para la campaña que se me salen de mesa....
