- OPERATION WINTERGEWITTER—The
Attempt to Relieve Stalingrad 1942
OPERATION WINTERGEWITTER depicts the attack by the German 57th
Panzerekorps to open a corridor to the 6th Army, trapped in the
Stalingrad Kessel. The fierce battle, that took place between
December 12-23, 1942, was not a foregone conclusion. The fate
of 20 German divisions hung in the balance—and the loss
of 6th Army would turn the tide in the Eastern Front.
- The German player
must use his initial advantage to open a corridor to 6th Army.
The Soviet player will react quickly, but must first withstand
a powerful enemy attack before he can bring powerful reinforcements
to bear.
- With OPERATION WINTERGEWITTER
MiH introduces a brand-new gaming engine, the Operational Warfare
System (OWS). The game scale is two miles per hex. Each turn
represents 12 hours. Units vary in size from Companies to Army
(headquarters only). Designer Mark Stille performed intensive
research during the design. The German OOB is drawn from the
actual War Diary of the 4th Panzerarmee and from the incomparable
"Stalingrad" by Manfred Kehrig, a detailed German-language
book on the subject. The USSR OOB is drawn from a superb 1943
Soviet General Staff study, and the Kehrig work.
- Soviet units vary
from half-strength Rifle Divisions of 51st Army to the powerful
formations of 2nd Guards Army. German units are depicted in a
range of unit-sizes. This is a detailed OOB with plenty of counters—and
myriad options—for both combatants.
