ATS Stalingrad: Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works 1942 (2004)

About this game

The place is The Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works — Where we put you in a German squad, poised to dash across the street, a street covered by an unseen Russian machine gun. Or among the crew of a buttoned-down Sturmgeschutz IIIB, rattling across the rail yards, the smoke and dust of battle obscuring your view through the periscope? Or part of a platoon of desperate Soviet Guardsmen, dug into a partially collapsed factory with a Commissar making his orders to hold to the death stand up by aiming his Tokarev Model TT33 at your back.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
