Against the Odds #56: Hitler's Stalingrad – Breslau 1945. Examines the 1945 Soviet siege of the city of Breslau. With 324 counters and a 22 x 34-inch map, scaled at about 650 yards per hex, a game turn represents one week. The game captures the flavor of planned, grand assaults quickly degenerating into gritty, street-level fighting, with players alternating conducting operations during the turn. Skillfully positioned reserves and sharp counterattacks can blunt massive thrusts, but sometimes at a frightfully high rate of casualties. Special rules model rubble and barricades; the multi-level city buildings; surprise and ambush during combat; Soviet command directives; the armored train Porsel; remotely controlled Goliaths; and the possible use of nerve gas (Breslau was the major repository of both Germany's remaining stocks of the little AFVs and also the deadly nerve agent Tabun). Components: Maps – one full-color 22 x 34-inch hex mapsheet; Counters – 324 full-color 9/16-inch die-cut counters; Rules length – 15 pages; Charts and tables – one page; Complexity – Medium; Playing time – Up to four hours; How challenging is it solitaire? – Average. $45.00 USD
