World at War 107 Stalingrad Relief December

Stalingrad Relief: December 1942 is a division/regiment-level game covering German efforts in December 1942 to open a supply corridor to German 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army units surrounded at Stalingrad.

The rules for Stalingrad Relief are based on the Series: Battles in the East series of games spanning many of the World War II Eastern Front battles between 1941 and 1945. Some are well known, while with others recent archival material allowed them to be accurately recreated for the first time.

The game mechanics are an evolution of the SPI classics Four Battles of Army Group South and Panzergruppe Guderian. These have been updated and incorporate later game mechanics, such as SPI/TSR/DG Cobra: Game of the Normandy Breakout.

Game scale is 3–5 miles (5–8 km) per hex. Each game turn is 2 days. Most units are German regiments and brigades, Romanian divisions and regiments, and Soviet mechanized and tank brigades or infantry and cavalry divisions, with some specialty battalions and other formations.
