In the summer of 1942, the German juggernaut could not be stopped, and both sides believed that Stalingrad would fall within mere weeks, but six months later, winter weather, a lack of supplies, and a failed relief effort saw the entire German 6th Army, or what was left of it, surrender.

In Axis & Allies: Stalingrad, you can take command of the German forces (plus some minor Axis powers) to see whether you can match their lightning thrust into the fateful city ? or you can command the Soviet forces and put up a desperate defense as you await the winter and a massive counter-offensive that could turn the tide of the war. The famous city of Stalingrad gets its own game board featuring ferries, snipers, and notoriously close-quarters fighting. Buy time with blood, prepare for the winter, and keep your supply lines open!
