Command the mighty German war machine and lead their forces to victory from spring through to the harsh winter of 1942.

German infantry forces hold ground within the city, but armor support must break through Soviet defenses and counter enemy tanks. Control bridges to bring armor into the city, and command a unified army to smash the Soviet defenders.
