We are very pleased to announce that Operation Winter Storm, a scenario supplement for Chain of Command, is now available. 22 scenarios from the pen of Richard Morrill cover the attempts by 6 Panzer Division to first stabilize the line, and then drive north to relieve the 6th Army trapped in Stalingrad.
Presented in four distinct chapters, Winter Storm covers a whole range of formal attacks, hasty attacks, desperate defensive battles, flank attacks, linked-up operations, meeting engagements, and even a coup de main. Five separate army lists cover both regular and irregular forces, with both infantry and tank actions present for these hugely popular rules. Let's look at the contents.
