Overview
The Battlelines® series of card games allow
players to recreate the epic struggles of World War II. Each player uses a deck
of cards to represent the troops of an historical formation about the size of a
division. A third deck, the Operation deck, is used to create a series of
battles using Mission and Location cards. Points are scored for achieving
Mission objectives and destroying enemy troops. A typical 100 point Operation
can be played in about an hour. The game can also be played by teams of up to
three players on each side.
Product Information
Stalingrad Campaign Series
This, the first in the Battlelines® Series World War II card game includes Units and Operations from the German 1942 summer offensive (Drive on Stalingrad), assault on the city Stalingrad (Streets of Stalingrad), the Soviet counter-attack (Operation Uranus) which trapped the German 6th Army in the city, and the gallant efforts of 4th Panzer Army to relieve their surrounded comrades (Winter Storm).
Unit Decks represent divisional level assets. They are the basic play decks. One is needed for each player. Operation Decks are used to generate a "random" series of "scenarios" depicting several days of fighting. Upper Echelon Decks allow players to introduce new cards into their Unit Decks to surprise their opponents with new stratagems.
