@Gibsonrick81 I’m hoping to get around to it soon. Worse case, I may not have it till thanksgiving. Just because then I will have a lot more time on my hands for a few days.
Axis & Allies Stalingrad Rules Q+A

My Bad - got the Operations names mixed up. Three Turns AFTER Operation Uranus occurs is when Operation Winter Storm occurs and YES, that is when the Axis can by units.
Have edited the first reply to correct my error.

BTW, having Operation Uranus occur no later than Round 7 was a decision made during testing to ensure the Allies did not delay Operation Uranus so late in the game that the Germans would never bring in any additional troops via Operation Winter Storm.
What the testers tried to achieve was a back and forth contest. German forces at first are far more powerful than the Russians. Therefore, the Russian are battling to hold off the Germans as long as possible to give Operation Uranus as many troops as possible. Then, once Operation Uranus explodes onto the map the Germans are reeling and trying to maintain their gains while the Russians push them steadily back. Finally, can Operation Winter Storm occur with enough troops in time to reverse the recent Russian gains and give the Germans a victory or do the Russians hold on for their victory?
-
Interestingly, we found that if the Germans went for an all out Total Victory and failed they were normally so weak that Operation Uranus was usually very successful, so successful that it was very possible for the Russians to get the Total Victory instead.
Whereas, when the Germans played more conservatively, for a Major or Minor Victory condition, it was pretty much impossible for the Russians to get a Total Victory and they too were only fighting for a Major or Minor Victory.
Our goal was that two equally highly experienced players, with even dice, would both be fighting for a Minor Victory.

@AndrewAAGamer Would you say the Germans need to mainly focus are just getting to the city of Stalingrad with the starting pieces?
-
The Germans can only get into Stalingrad with starting pieces. By the time Operation Winter Storm comes along there is barely time to get to Pitomnik, less alone into the City.

Hi all.
Does one Art shoot at all enemy planes in that terrritory or just one ? -
Each artillery may only roll 1 die. However, you may have as many artillery as available all fire at the same target(s) so any attacking planes would be shot at by multiple artillery if available. (They are one attacking source and one defending source per zone)
Roll 1 die for each artillery in the zone

@AndrewAAGamer thanks .
I am Sure I read that, but couldn’t make any sense of it!
I blame my eyes and slow brain function.
