SGB-20 Op. Winter Storm (1986) (JPY 5,800)

One mapsheet, 504 counters, two identical PACs, one 24-pg rule/scenario booklet (3 scenarios), and one Historical Softbound book entitled “Photographic Series of the East Front-Operation Winter Storm” (72-pg) (JPY 1,800). The historical softbound appears to have been available separately, but I have three copies of this game and they both came with this item.

Unit scales are infantry divisions, armored brigades/regiments and Soviet Mechanized Corps. Losses are handled by steps with extra Kampfgruppen for the Germans. The map stretches from Rostov-na-Donau to Stalingrad and from Kotelnikovo to north of Millerovo. Each turn is four days and covers Nov. 19th thru Jan. 21st. Supply is tracked by point for individual armies.
