World at War #107: Operation Winterstorm (Game Edition) combines an in-depth historical magazine with a fully playable wargame covering the German attempt to relieve encircled forces at Stalingrad in December 1942. This dramatic campaign highlights one of the most critical moments on the Eastern Front.

• Complete Game Edition – Includes both the World at War magazine and a fully playable wargame, blending historical analysis with tabletop gameplay.
• Stalingrad Relief Campaign – Simulates Operation Winterstorm, the German effort to open a supply corridor to surrounded forces in Stalingrad.
• Division and Regiment-Level Combat – Command German, Romanian, and Soviet forces across a detailed operational battlefield.
• Includes Historical Articles – Features additional content on Operation Crusader tactics, the Battle of Wuhan, and Germany’s Kriegsakademie.

The magazine examines von Manstein’s attempt to rescue the trapped Sixth Army, analysing the strategic decisions and constraints that led to failure.

The game uses an evolved version of the Battles in the East system, incorporating mechanics from classic SPI designs. Players must coordinate armoured thrusts, manage limited resources, and overcome determined Soviet resistance to achieve their objectives.

Each hex represents approximately 3–5 miles, with turns covering two days of operations. Units include German regiments and brigades, Romanian formations, and Soviet mechanised and infantry forces, supported by specialised units.
