That looks a LOT like Der Kessel by OSS.


could well be a reincarnation of it, since Jon Compton was part of GameFix back when that was published, and he's also the owner of Canvas Temple Games

Interesting. I have the original Der Kessel and had bought the re-make on Wargame Vault, but never printed it out. Anything Stalingrad and gaming, I'll keep an eye on. Thanks!

Per Jon (just got an email from him) - it is an update of Der Kessel




I'm still hoping for this from them;

At least they fixed the tank on the cover. The first version I saw of this had a Panzer I... which were out of use by then.  ::)

I think it's why I've played "War and Peace" 10x more than "The Napoleonic Wars".  Weird mental block, I'll confess as I think the latter is honestly the better game.
