59-Player Stalingrad Convention Wargame

Four years ago, at Historicon 2021, Miles ran a 7-part linked Stalingrad mini-campaign. The outcome of each game influenced the next, and players controlled a limited pool of reserves to call upon across the entire campaign. We did film this epic event at the convention...but nothing ever came of the footage. Until now! Thanks to a question submitted in our 100k Subscriber Celebration, we finally remembered to dust off the old 2021 hard drive and share the outcome of the convention campaign. 59 different players participated across the 7 game sessions over a weekend. Let's find out what happened! Miles still has this stunning custom tabletop stashed away in the basement, too. We've long talked about breaking it out for a proper episode on Little Wars TV, gaming one of the specific operations set in Stalingrad's famous city center. Is that something you'd like to see on the channel? And if so, what rule recommendations do you have for a 15mm scale, battalion-level engagement? Let us know in the comments!
