Can You Remain Undaunted by What You'll Face in Stalingrad?

Can You Remain Undaunted by What You'll Face in Stalingrad?
UK publisher Osprey Games has announced a new title in its Undaunted series of games from designers Trevor Benjamin and David ThompsonUndaunted: Stalingrad, with this game taking place on a scale unlike the first two standalone games.

Board Game: Undaunted: Stalingrad

Here's a blurb about the game from the designers:
Quote:
We're digging deep into the storied Battle of Stalingrad, a key battle not only for the Eastern Front but the entire Second World War, and we're doing it with a massive box full of content unlike anything Undaunted fans have seen before. We're introducing new units, actions, and ways to interact with the environment. What we're most excited about, though, is that we've created an integrated campaign where the results of each scenario impact the rest of the campaign's rich narrative and will set the stage for scenarios to come.
And here's a bit more about the game, which is due out in the latter half of 2022:
Quote:
Stalingrad, 1942. Before you awaits a grueling conflict in this cornerstone battleground. As the bullets and bombs tear the city asunder, only through wits and valor can you seize the cornerstone of the entire Eastern Front and change the course of history.

A heavy burden rests on your shoulders. Every casualty suffered in battle will weaken your forces for the entire campaign. Every bomb blast and mortar shell leaves the very ground for which you are fighting in further ruin. Every inch lost to the enemy brings you closer to the jaws of defeat. Over the course of up to fifteen branching scenarios, you will decide the fate of Stalingrad and, perhaps, the war itself. Even though the consequences of your actions will persist, the game itself can be fully reset and replayed, allowing you to explore every potential outcome.

Undaunted: Stalingrad is a monumental, platoon-level, standalone game that expands the series' scope and challenge beyond anything that's come before. Featuring more than 300 unique illustrations by Roland MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings written by acclaimed author Robbie MacNiven, immerse yourself in this campaign at the heart of the war.
