Stalingrad?

I don't see the battle represented yet in the campaigns yet- will it be in a later build, or in an add-on?

I do like that the campaigns dwell on other battles, but it seems a large omission.

We are planning on Stalingrad being an entire expansion campaign, probably with some specific mechanics etc to best capture the special qualities of the battle.

Cheers

Without "Stalingrad campaign" there couldn't be any "East Front" - game..

Was there a D-Day beach landing scenario in vanilla BA? I don't remember one. :wink: I like the idea of a whole own Stalingrad campaign.

Stalingrad, yes! And what about the battle for Kursk?
This was the greatest tank battle in WW2 , futuring the newly panther and elephant tanks.
could't this be also made as an add on campaign?

I couldn't possibly comment, but it would definitely be a distinct possibility wouldn't it :)

Ok , we have Barbarossa , Kharkov and Stalingrad . Great ! But before moving to 1943 you really should add A Crimean campaign . Odessa, Sevastopol, Kerch , Thyodosia and all those places. Imagine the blitzkrieg german army under Manstein vs The might of the soviet Black Sea fleet ! Back to Stalingrad , don't forget to add the last stand of the 8th Italian army defending the german flanks on the don river !

Yes, it's great to get the largest battles covered- but I would really like to see Italy, Romania (Axis and Allied) and Hungary covered in an add-on.

Absolutely. My favorite part of the RTS "Great Battles of WW2: Stalingrad" was that there were Italian, Romanian and Croatian allies available. So many games omit this or drop it in as a small afterthought.

I'm with you guys . Romania and Hungary need their respective places in BA2 ,like besieging Odessa and defending the german flanks at Stalingrad . But could we also have lesser know campaigns ,like the Rzhev meat-grinder ?
