The Enemies of the Motherland is at the Gates


By August of 1942, it was clear that the German plan of reaching the Baku oil fields as part of the grand plan of ‘Case Blue’-the 1942 German Summer Offensive was unreachable. In an effort to salvage the situation, the German High Command decided to make the drive to capture the city of Stalingrad on the Volga River. This would give them a political coup of capturing the city named after Stalingrad and would secure any river transport from Northern Russia to Southern Russia. By late August the full might of the German 6th Army was unleashed against the river city.

It features a fluid, impulse-based turns, squad-level, and individual heroics, plus lots of armor and special rules to bring the fight for the city of Stalingrad. From the first drive to cut off the city along the north bank of the Volga to the brutal and close-in street to street and room to room fighting that raged across the city. Fighting in the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Works Factory and on the slopes of Mamayev Kurgan.
