Drive on Stalingrad (Second Edition)

A two-player strategic simulation of the 1942 German offensive toward Stalingrad and the Caucasus during Operation Blue. The German player seeks to capture key areas, while the Soviet player defends in the main scenario and launches the Operation Uranus counter-offensive in the second. Weekly turns cover division- to corps-sized units across a map of 16-mile hexes. The main scenario runs from late June to mid-September, while the counter-offensive scenario begins in November and continues through December. The game offers medium complexity, high solitaire playability, and playing times of 6–20 hours.
