Cauldrons of War Stalingrad is the turn-based strategic wargame you will launch whenever you want your WW2 shot but don't have time for a monster strategy game.From May 1942 to November 1942 play the USSR or the Axis forces in some of the largest and bloodiest operations in history.
From Crimea to Stalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields, lead the Axis or the Soviet forces in the bitter fightings of the eastern Front in 1942. Cauldrons of War - Stalingrad is an immersive 'command at the highest level' wargame with tough decisions to make. Its clean mechanics and low complexity allows the game to focus on what is really important : strategical decisions. There is no micromanagement here, but more depth than you imagine.
As the German, will you grasp the Baku oilfields ? As the Soviet, will you trap a whole German army near Stalingrad ?
: you don't need a 100+ hours investment in a monster game. Some scenarios can be played in 1 or 2 hour. But don't worry, the game contains several scenarios and is challenging enough to keep you entertained for a long time.
: with a hot seat mode and a Play By Email Mode Cauldrons of War - Stalingrad is the second opus of the "Cauldrons series". If ever you have played Cauldrons of War - Barbarsossa, you won't be disoriented, but you will notice some improvements here and there. DISCLAIMER This game is hard! Try to follow these good strategy lines to win your first game: -Define reachable objectives -Focus your efforts on a clear direction -Stop attacking when your units are exhausted -Don't send vast armies in areas where you can't supply them The German did all these 4 mistakes, that is why they lost. If you keep losing, you must be German, (that is the best explanation). If so, act like a real german general : blame Hitler! (not yourself, nor the game) Have fun!
