On War: Stalingrad

Operational warfare on the Eastern Front

On War: Stalingrad is a PC operational strategy game set during Case Blue and the German advance toward Stalingrad. You command divisions across the Eastern Front, managing the wider front rather than directing individual squads.

Divisions and the front

You move forces across a large operational map, choosing where to advance, stabilize a sector, or exploit a breakthrough. Frontlines shift with movement and supply: a fast advance can stretch supply lines, while a pause gives the Soviet forces time to regroup. Breakthroughs can turn into encirclements, and a lost depot can stall an offensive.
