■-─────────────────────-■· General Description ·■-──────────────────────-■·
Stalingrad is a WWII strategy game taking place on the Eastern
Front. You may play on either the Nazi or the Russian side -- depending
on what side you choose, you have different objectives. There are different
scenarios (about 10) which can be played. Each scenario takes place in
a different section of the Eastern Front, and has it's own objectives for
each side to complete.
The game is played from an overhead map view. On this map you can
see all your different units, which are shown as a picture of the unit
inside a small box (sort of like a strategy board game piece). The units
can be moved, used to attack, etc... In addition to basic movements, supply levels and things of the like
can be changed.
Mutli-player games may be played over the modem (directly), or by
exchanging e-mail. I did not try these options with anybody, and I really
don't even know what kind of things the e-mail option needs to work.

COMMENTS : As I said before, there are many graphics modes which can be
used. Higher resolutions simply fit more things on the screen
at once. The only downside is that in most of the higher
resolutions, the text becomes extremely difficult to read.
The graphics are so-so, not bad for a strategy game.

pure strategy games. For somebody who does enjoy this type
of game, I can see that it could be quite fun.

·■-────────────────────────-■· Final Comments ·■-────────────────────────-■·
As I said just a moment ago, strategy people will probably have fun
playing Stalingrad, and for only 3 disks, it doesn't take a lot of time
or credits. For others, however, this game is not worth it.
