STALINGRAD
In this wargame, you have the opportunity to restore and engage in one of the most horrific historic events of World War II—the Battle of Stalingrad. This battle was not only a pivotal moment in the war but also a turning point that dramatically reshaped the balance of military forces between the Axis powers and the Soviet Union. Players can experience this iconic battle through immersive computer gameplay, which allows for strategic planning and tactical maneuvering.
You can choose to lead either the Soviet forces or the Fascist forces (Axis powers) in a quest for victory. Historically, the Soviet Union emerged victorious, albeit at a staggering cost of human life and resources. However, as a strategic genius, you have the ability to alter the course of history in this game—you might find ways to achieve victory with fewer losses than those incurred during the actual battle.
The game's mechanics provide players with detailed insights into the strategic decisions made during the battle. Understanding the complexities of warfare, you will need to:
Employ effective tactics to flank enemy positions
Utilize the terrain of Stalingrad to your advantage
Manage supply lines and resources diligently
Understand the morale of your troops, which can directly influence battle outcomes
Anticipate enemy movements and adapt your strategies accordingly
Choosing the Fascist forces offers a different perspective on the conflict. While historically they were defeated, playing as this side allows you to explore alternative strategies and understand the ramifications of victory—how it would have altered the course of history and the wider implications for Europe and the world. As you make decisions, you may grapple with ethical considerations, the weight of leadership, and the consequences of war.
The experience of managing large-scale battles with thousands of soldiers, tanks, and aircraft adds depth to the gameplay. Stalingrad is not just a game about strategy; it is a profound reflection on the costs of war and the resilience of the human spirit. Whether you are leading the charge for the Soviets or implementing a tactical retreat for the Fascists, the choices you make will resonate throughout the game, impacting all subsequent scenarios.
Prepare to immerse yourself in a historical simulation that challenges your intellect, leadership skills, and moral compass as you navigate the complexities of war and strive for victory in Stalingrad.
For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
