Into the Pocket: Operation Winter Storm

Designed by Mark Stille, Into the Pocket: Operation Winter Storm recreates the German relief offensive launched in December 1942 in an attempt to reach the encircled Sixth Army at Stalingrad.

Using a traditional hex-and-counter system featuring combat odds, CRT resolution and armored maneuver, the game delivers an accessible yet rewarding operational experience. Its compact footprint makes it suitable both for newcomers to historical board wargaming and experienced players looking for a fast-playing Eastern Front simulation.
