"Postcard Stalingrad" is a relatively fast and simple but historical 9-turn wargame about the 23Aug42-19Nov42 Battle for Stalingrad city.
12 starting units - mostly divisions - for Germans and Russians, each, with some Russian reinforcements and replacements (if they make it across the Volga) and (more) time pressure of Turn 7 withdrawal of 1 motorized and 1 panzer division to cover campaign's flanks which were becoming "worrisome." }:-)
German airpower and 1 later turn of Pioneers/Engineers bonus. Pressed attack.
Russian east bank artillery and "hugging" tactic. Chuikov. Snipers Zaitsev vs. Koenig.
Russian "No land East of the Volga" No Retreat! orders.
And anyone is free to print this or my other 5 (so far) postcard wargames off in postcard size/format only (4x6/A6 or 5x8/A5)... as long as my copyright statement and the Dedication are retained ... to mail/give to family and friends.
(Of course, for your own personal copy you will want to photocopy-enlarge the components.)
