Future titles

[Strela]

So Battles for Stalingrad is not a PB title. So I presume it's a new title altogether. Personally I hope it is similar to say Streets of Stalingrad where the game from ground up is designed for urban fighting.

SoS is a completely different scale from PB. Not only that, but there is an asymmetrical turn, etc.

Very doubtful it will be anything remotely similar.

I don't have Streets of Stalingrad so I can't comment on that.

As Wodin says it would need changes to represent urban fighting. We have a lot of ideas here, but we don't have time currently to implement them.

We're also thinking through the scale. Squad Battles is the right scale for house to house - Panzer Battles requires us to work out what were trying to represent at a higher scale. We are toying with things such as 125 metre hexes and co-existence in the same hex - but that maybe limited to different height levels to represent different floors and even cellars/sewers. Assaults in the same hex would only be triggered if units move into the same height level.

As you can see this will require programming effort, something we're light on currently. We're also aware that people view Kursk & Normandy as 'bunker fests' and we need a title away from that at least for the next round! 

So yes, Stalingrad is on our radar (I personally love ASL Red Barricades) but we have a lot to achieve to get there...
