Against the Iron Ring
Replay Operation Uranus in the Don River Basin from November to December 1942, and try to improve on the historical result. One player commands the Soviet Red Army while the other directs German and Romanian forces across three independent scenarios. Turns represent three days, with regimental to corps-sized units operating on a hex map. Scenarios cover the Soviet offensive and subsequent operations, with games lasting approximately 4–8 hours.
