Soviet play requires the use of a ponderous and fragile weapon of great size (the Red Army of 1942). German play requires sabre-like use of mobile reserves in hit and run attacks.\n\nHistory: (from the back of the box:)\nThe German Wehrmacht stands at the pinnacle of  its last season of blitzkrieg. Embattled German troops hold most of the city of Stalingrad ­ but the flanks are covered with less dependable Axis allied units. Opposing these flanks are the shock troops of the 1942 Soviet winter counteroffensive. They are poised to encircle Stalingrad and turn the tide of the war.\n\nThe Game: \n2nd Edition Stalingrad Pocket: \nThis is the second edition of Stalingrad Pocket, winner of the 1992 CSR Award for Best World War 2 wargame. It includes a reworked map and Order of Battle (utilizing Enemy at the Gates, the 1994 CSR Best Workd War 2 wargame award winner). It also applies the series rules version 1.6 used in its sister games Yom Kippur and Ardennes.\n\n'Stalingrad Pocket 2nd Edition adds the following features to make play even more interesting:\n\n    Reserves\n    Determined Attacks and Defenses\n    Air Power\n    Artillery Barrage attacks\n    Limited use of \"dead unit count\" victory conditions.\n\n\nFeatures :\n\n    Easy to learn and use game system. \n    Dynamic and Fluid situation \n    Balance of Military and Political Victory Conditions required to win \n    Fast and Furious Action \n    Player Skill is highly rewarded \n    Three Major Scenarios \n\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 2 Days\nHex: 3.4 miles \/ 5.5 Km\nUnits: Battalion to Division\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 22 x 34\" full color map\nTwo dual-side printed countersheets (560 1\/2\" counters)\nOne 8-page SCS system rulebook\nOne 16-page Stalingrad Pocket II specific rulebook\nTwo 6-sided dice\n\nSolitaire Playability: High\nComplexity Level: Low\nPlayers: 1 or more\nPlaying Time: 3-15 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.63 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dean Essig, Masahiro Yamazaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Gamers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926793879768,"sku":"SB-A2A6A4834595-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/f6wpw90y4uofmesyif5f3d4g5xc6.jpg?v=1785464874","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/stalingrad-pocket-2nd-edition-the-wehrmachts-greatest-disaster","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
