Winter Storm Campaign #6 - Prelude to Disaster

Prelude to Disaster covers the time between the end of the Soviet Winter counteroffensive and the beginning of the German Stalingrad campaign. In early May 1942, four Soviet armies stands poised to liberate Kharkov and seize the Dnepr River crossings, destroying all the German armies in the south Ukraine. The Germans themselves are preparing to nip the Soviet thrust at its base. Victory hangs in the balance and the entire course of the summer’s campaign will depend upon who can strike first. The game provides two scenarios that can be played to conclusion in a single sitting. Contains 720 die-cut counters, one 34"x22" game map, Army Organization Display, 2 rulebooks with historical commentary.
