Firestorm: Stalingrad Last year we ran two tremendously fun Firestorm Campaigns for Team Yankee. This year we have one planned for Flames Of War players. Welcome to Firestorm: Stalingrad!. Firestorm: Stalingrad recreates the fighting in and around the city of Stalingrad where the Germans and Soviets fight over every factory, building, and city block, whilst outside the city the Soviet attackers drive to encircle the city, forever cutting off the German Army. The Campaign pack will be available next week and is designed (much like the previous Team Yankee versions) to be played over the course of a day as a single event, or over a series of nights or club days. The campaign consists of a series of Flames Of War games in which players attempt to capture areas from the enemy or recover those lost in earlier games.

By capturing the city, a defeated side may be able to swing the final result, potentially turning a defeat into victory! There is no point breaking the German 6th Army if the remaining troops inside the city have turned it into Fortress Stalingrad, dug in and prepared to hold off any attacking Soviet force… |
