The game features two, branching campaigns. One that is playable from the Soviet side and one from the German point of view. The campaigns are story driven, using graphic novel-type panels to propel the plot.
It is in the campaign interface that they decide who to take into to battle, how to spend their precious resource points, and whether to lead a tank-heavy for, vulnerable to enemy infantry in the streets of Stalingrade, or a less mobile, infantry only, contingent.
Heroes of Stalingrad ships with 12 stand alone missions for those who want to jump right in to the fighting.
Partisan ambushes, bridge seizures and many other scenarios are to be expected, and you should be well on your toes at all times as we're promised "razor-sharp artificial intelligence that will challenge even the most clever tactical gamer".
The game is currently in Beta and those of us with high enough morale stats should resolutely hold positions because this boardgame adaptation may finally join us on the field this very year.
