This is the one many have been waiting for my friends. March 3rd is the approx release date for STALINGRAD '42! You can check out a few screen shots at the following link!

Here is the skinny:
Stalingrad ’42 includes 42 scenarios covering three periods of the campaign. There are ten individual scenarios covering the early fighting in July and August. However, the game focuses on Operation Uranus, where the Soviets broke through Axis lines and surrounded the German Sixth Army. There are 23 scenarios drawn from this operation, including a full historical campaign covering the encirclement as well as the relief effort. There is also a short campaign covering just the encirclement. “What If” situation explore such options as the German Sixth Army being permitted to retreat from the Volga when the danger of envelopment was apparent, or if they had adopted a more logical (in hindsight) “corset” flank defense with Germans divisions being interspersed with the Rumanians. This is your opportunity to change the course of history!
Game features include:
- 42 Scenarios – with optimization for PBEM as well as a separate version for play against the system AI. - The Master Map covers almost 74,000 hexes. - Three separate Order-of-Battles with over 4000 units in the Uranus scenarios. - Game scale is 1 hex = 1 km, 1 turn = 2 hours. - OOB & Scenario editors which allow players to customize the game. - Sub-map feature allows the main map to be “chopped” up into smaller segments for custom scenario creation
Sounds like a good one! I have been wanting to play this since I read Anthony Beevor's Stalingrad.
