Two nights in Stalingrad - part 1

Our first lockdown remote game was Tom Mouat's 'Stalingrad' Matrix Game, which I ran in late March 2020.  Three years later  - and prompted by still having the map I'd printed in 2020 - I decided to run it again.  

The field of battle.  1/32 and 1/35 scale figures, 1/144 aircraft and vehicles in 1/35-1/50 scales.

On overview of the opening positions.  Players and spectators* were as follows:

Adolf Hitler - John B

Gen von Paulus - John A

Lt Gen Hube - Pete

Josef Stalin - Russell

Lt Gen Chuikov - Mark

Col Tarasov - Diego

technical adviser* - Martin (he'd played it before)

Washington Post correspondent* - Nick
