		The Battle of Stalingrad was a major turning point in World War II, and is considered the bloodiest battle in human history and arguably one of the greatest come-backs in military history.
		The battle was marked by the brutality and disregard for civilian casualties on both sides.
		The battle is taken to include the German siege of the southern Russian city of Stalingrad (today Volgograd), the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the German and other Axis forces in and around the city.

		The opening phase of the summer offensives would be an encirclement blow, with the 1st and 4th Panzer Armies forming the northern half of a pincher, striking between the Don and the Donetz, with the southern pincer advancing across the Don from Volchansk.
		Rzhev has remained an important area of the front; while Army Group South had embarked on its offensive, Army Group Centre set about tidying its battle lines, with the knowledge that any future moves on Moscow would be launched from the Rzhev area.
		The battles around Rzhev were fought in conditions reminiscent of the First World War, complete with waterlogged trenches, mud, crippling losses, and little change in position.

		Rzhev was in real danger of becoming a kessel.
		But the situation on the ground dictated that the Panzertruppen be thrown into battle off the line of march as swarms of soviet tanks and cavalry swooped down from the north.

		Scipio unfortunately is in the background fighting his own battles in the shadow of Hannibal, people seem to go out of their way to belittle Scipios achievements whilst boosting Hannibals up higher and higher, totally ignoring the fact that Hannibal lost the war and that his campaign achieved nothing for Carthage.
		The Battle of Kursk was a stalemate, and the Germans had managed to blunt the planned Soviet counter-attack.
		Plus the appalling waste of men in his headlong battle to beat Marshall Konev to the Reichstag means that you have a commander with little respect for the lives of the men under him.

		The surprise of that battle in history was that the Germans slipped away from the superior Soviet forces, yes?
		I have played both titles, through not much of Rzhev, but enough to know there is more variaty and more of a challence in Rzhev.
		So I think Rzhev will give you a good mix of scenarios for play against the AI, with the potential for good PBEM games also if it fits later on.

	COUNTERPOINT TO STALINGRAD, Operation Mars (November-December 1942): Marshal Zhukov's Greatest Defeat
		By launching his main attacks against the base of the Rzhev salient from both east and west, Zhukov sought to envelop German forces in the salient with frontal assaults without having to conduct complex maneuver with his mobile forces across the difficult terrain and in the harsh weather conditions.
		The fortunes of battle were clearly turning, and initial Soviet success had been squandered in the futile battle for Belyi.
		The July-August 1942 Rzhev operation, formally named the Pogoreloe-Gorodishche Operation, was conducted by the 20th and 31st Armies of Zhukov's Western Front and the 29th and 30th Armies of Konev's Kalinin Front.
