The primary game is a nine-turn campaign covering the first great German assault on the city during September 1942. The deeper German forces advance, from the city's less developed periphery to its urban qand industiral core, the greater Soviet resistance becomes. The number of German units bled white, effectively out of action, mounts. German determination to secure a rapid victory, represented as "morale" in the game, gradually decreases. The player wins by equaling or exceeding historical German gains and loses if they fail to do so, or if morale falls too low.
Also included is a five-turn “Factory District Scenario” representing the second great German effort in October 1942. The challenge is now even greater: the player must capture all of Stalingrad in order to release divisions in time to cover the German flanks outside the city against the coming Soviet winter offense, which was not far off. With a setup time of less than 15 minutes, low counter density, endless variability, and quick playing time, Stalingrad: Advance to the Volga, 1942 will appeal to every level of player, from the novice to the grognard.
The failure to capture Stalingrad rapidly paved the way for the encirclement and destruction of 6th Army and in the long run Axis defeat in the Second World War. But if Soviet resistance collapsed quickly, and the Wehrmacht had stood victorious on the banks of the Volga, who can say how history may have turned out? The decisions leading to victory or defeat now rest with you.
