Uranus/Saturn: Winter Storm on the Don 1942-43

Description

Uranus and Saturn were the names given to the great Soviet Offensives on the Southern front in the winter of 1942-43. Their success resulted in the destruction of the elite German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, the disintegration of Germany's Allied Armies and the unhinging of the entire Axis position in the Ukraine. The Axis, for the first time, were thrown on the strategic defensive and the road to Kursk. The Germans, for their part, unleashed 'Winter Storm' and the famous Manstein 'backhand blow' which did much to restore the situation. Within the scope of the EUROPA series of simulations from GDW, Uranus/Saturn attempts to allow gamers to explore the military possibilities open to both sides using components largely available. A number of major additions to the standard 'Fire in the East / Scorched Earth' (FITE/SE) rule set have been made, most of which should be seen as experimental and considered optional by anyone playing the scenario.
