“Nowhere else
was there such bloody hand-to-hand combat. Nowhere else were bayonets and hand
grenades used so widely as in Stalingrad...Our soldiers had only one idea.
Stalin had ordered us not to retreat.”
–Vasily Chuikov,
commander of the Soviet 62nd Army, Battle of Stalingrad
The Battle for
Stalingrad commenced on September 13, 1942. Joseph Stalin ordered the Soviet
62nd Army to defend at all costs; Adolf Hitler believed one final assault by the
6th Army would overcome the Soviet forces. Desperate fighting in the ruins was
characterized by merciless close combat and no regard for civilian casualties.
The heavy losses of personnel and equipment inflicted on the German army makes
Stalingrad one of the strategically decisive battles of World War
II.
The Stalingrad
expansion adds on to Tide of Iron by allowing players to recreate the vicious
house-to-house fighting between the Soviet and German armies in the city of
Stalingrad. Players can also engage in tank duels in the streets and alleys of
the city as well as launch surprise attacks from the sewers
beneath.
Stalingrad
includes a full set of Soviet infantry, the German StuG III E and Panzer III,
the Soviet T-34/76, and introducing the T-70 light tank.
This expansion
includes:
-12 urban
terrain maps
-8 new scenarios
(including 4 linked campaign scenarios)
-Strategy cards
that let you
experience the
brutal street fighting of the Battle of Stalingrad
Fight through
the ashes of the ravaged city to claim Stalingrad as your
own!
