Attackers from the German 6th Army must dislodge the Russian 62nd Army and take the city of Stalingrad before the commencement of Operation Uranus.

Victory is determined by the number of objectives captured by the German player each week. If it exceeds the requirements for the week, he wins. If not the Russian player wins. If it is equal to the victory requirement, the game is extended by another week, with a different(higher) victory objective requirement. Game comprises two 22" by 16" mounted mapboards, 394 counters, rules and charts. The game uses the area-impulse system used in Storm over Arnhem, Thunder at Cassino and Breakout: Normandy.
