Stalingrad 42

[Jim]

Yeh they could look more like fields haha...and yes...funny you should mention Ian... I was watching a youtube video on Stalingrad and how the Southwest and Stalingrad fronts linked at Kalach....wouldnt you know it? I just happened to have my Stalingrad 42 game on my desktop and loaded it in...sure looks fun!!!
And yeh...HoI is cool....Strategic level....play any nation....research....but isnt it more realistic to take Panzergruppe 2 Led by Guderian and head out across the steppes toward Smolensk? Get on that highway man. Pzr XX 3 followed up by Pzr XX 4. First Cav protecting flanks. Hey...How many units in a Pzr XX in HoI??? One? you can have what 3 or 4 in War in the East? But in Pz??12? 15? Plus the 24th Corps level assets? I dunno...I like them all. I like Decisive Campaigns also but in Barbarossa there is like 4 hexes between Vitbesk and Orsha. In Smolensk 41 its like 80 lol. Ok a way different scale but still.....the Panzer campaigns make you feel your right there because of the scale. And the whole scope of the game and the attention to detail..putting out minefields, digging in, the detailed way combat works, fatigue/disruption etc recovery ZOC effects, etc, etc. I mean I could go on and on. Sheer genius. Long live the series.
