About the Game

Beyond the Volga is a two player card driven wargame which covers the action in and around Stalingrad between 19th November 1942 and 2nd February 1943

The game comes with three scenarios:

An introductory historical scenario covering the relief operation mounted by Axis forces - Operation Winterstorm

A "what if" scenario covering Operation Thunderclap - the proposed break out from Stalingrad

The full campaign game.

Victory is determined by points gained from occupying Stalingrad hexes with cards increasing and reducing the value to both sides.

Cards are used for events, to influence combat or to activate entire armies. Cloud cover and the freezing winters of the area both have an influence on what actions you can take.

Can you keep the starving troops inside Stalingrad supplied until help arrives? Can you keep the encirclement solid and prevent any rescue attempt?
