Stalin's World War III is a two game package and includes
Volume 1 - Operation Pincher & The Soviet Offensive in Europe and
Volume 2 - Operation Sandown & The Soviet Offensive in the Mid-East.
This is an alternative history monster-size wargame, designed by Ty Bomba, intended to investigate the strategic parameters that would've been in place during the first 10 weeks of operations had that dictator lived long enough to put in motion one of his many plans to start a global conflict in 1953. The most likely start date would have coincided with the signing of the Korean War armistice in July, in order to achieve maximum surprise. Each two-map game can be played separately by one, two, three, or four player, or they can both be combined into one Grand Campaign Scenario covering all four maps.
