Title: Stalingrad.
Post by: bob48 on March 19, 2019, 10:33:07 AM
This must be one of the most gamed subjects ever;

How many 'Stalingrad' games can we list - just board games - no 'e-games'

Drive on Stalingrad by SPI

Battle for Stalingrad, again by SPI

Streets of Stalingrad , there have been several version by different publishers I think?

Storm over Stalingrad by MMP

Stalingrad '42 - to be published by GMT

Roads to Stalingrad (may not be the final name) by Hexasim

Stalingrad Pocket by The Gamers / MMP

Thinking caps on, chaps - lets add to the list.

Good idea, Mike and maybe Waterloo would be a contender.

I assume you mean this one? Its a big bugger, innit.

5 maps - 12 counter sheets - lots of lovely clipping - better get a few extra storage trays..............

I don't think I own any Stalingrad games, which is why I'm happy Simonitch is designing Stalingrad '42.

Well technically I guess some ASL, Panzer, or Combat Commander scenarios could be at Stalingrad. And I've captured Stalingrad in No Retreat! But yup no Stalingrad games in the collection.

I don't own any Stalingrad specific games, but 50% of my wargame collection is Cold War and later, and most of the rest is age of gunpowder stuff.


My WW2 inventory, not counting some stray magazine games, are Spearpoint 1943, a couple of LNLT games, Bulge 20, FAB Sicily, the original SL, Tank on Tank, Rommel at Gazala (LNL), and The Pacific War: Pearl Harbor to the Philippines


WW2 just isn't a big area of interest for me.


I had the ATO Berlin game, but sent it to BC a while ago

Don't you have the Carcassonne version - 'Armoured Wheat Gatherers on the Volga'?

Same here...might have to pick up Stalingrad ‘42.... more shelf space I don’t have....

Have you got table space though; that's the main question.
Title: Re: Stalingrad.
Post by: Barthheart on March 19, 2019, 04:02:21 PM
I think so.. my game table has a play surface of 46”x94”.
Title: Re: Stalingrad.
Post by: bob48 on March 19, 2019, 04:06:49 PM
Yep, that should do it - its even big enough to get Mirth's new Ardennes game on!

Not wishing to be rude or anything, but............are your arms long enough to reach those pesky counters in the middle of the table?  ::)
Title: Re: Stalingrad.
Post by: Barthheart on March 19, 2019, 04:17:56 PM
Yes... just... that's why I built it that size!  :D

I've got the Stalingrad expansion for Tide of Iron.  I think that's the only Stalingrad specific board game I own.

Well, this idea for an interesting games thread went down like a cast iron zeppelin. >:D
Title: Re: Stalingrad.
Post by: BanzaiCat on March 20, 2019, 08:01:06 AM
I also have the Tide of Iron (Next Wave) base set and the Stalingrad expansion.

Another one (I didn't peruse Brant's  killjoy list lol) is Turning Point: Stalingrad. I have that one (probably in storage too with ToI and countless others).

I'm definitely in for Stalingrad '42. :)

Der Kessel is another one. I have the original somewhere and also bought the newer/upgraded version on Wargame Vault.

Actually, despite all that we've said on the subject, the old  SPI game, 'Battle for Stalingrad', designed by John Hill, really is an excellent game and one that I had sunk a lot of hours into.

I dug out Turning Point Stalingrad a few weeks ago, just to look through it. An old area-control AH design but an interesting one even now.
