Can infantry units go berserk or fanatic.
I think that is in the boardgame..also hero unit mechanic.

There might be a downloadable rule book somewhere online you could read.

Highly unlikely this will be Tank heavy as the maps aren't huge. Also if it's set in Stalingrad itself few tanks where used..mainly for support purpose and then had huge difficulty trying to move. I imagine it's going to be Infantry centric.

Ammo supply etc..again unlikely a boardgame models that to any high degree. HPS SB did it but in a fudged up way sadly. This isn't going to be a totally different game to the boardgame going by the counter Info, though I'd love it if boardgame abstractions had been taken out altogether and we had individual weapons and men and proper ammo supply...ROF etc etc, though this isn't the case.

See here for print and play demo with the rules... same rules that are in effect for the PC game.

There are some tank centric scenarios. But yes most are infantry centric.

Battles take place leading up to Stalingrad as well as in the city.

Ammo is not tracked except for single use items.

but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"

I'd have though MG jams would be in.

Still none of these things is really surprising.

Does the PC version of the game supports PBEM?
The boardgame is "impulse" based IIRC...

Currently supports online play. Op fire needs instant input from opponent or a single game turn could take months to play out.

Man this game is great! [8D][:D]

New versions almost weekly. I'm guessing the new crop of betas will start soon as well...
About all I can say so far...

I never bothered applying..if i's good I don't want to ruin it by testing it and there being no lovely surprises. If it's not my thing I wouldn't want to be testing something someone else might have wanted to and enjoyed it.

I wanted to...but, ended up with too much going on on the Ol plate and had to opt out. Felt bad..Told Karlis to give my spot to another person that has more time to devote to it.
Keep up with the posts guys and try and give us any info you can, and or Screens and such.
Excited...Hope this one turns out good. [:D]

A few screenshots wouldn't hurt. What is the largest possible map?

Thanks,
