    Description

    White Death, Velikiye Luki, The Stalingrad of the North, is a simulation of the battle of Velikiye Luki in the winter of 1942-1943. The game begins with the massive Soviet offensive that led to the encirclement of the city of Velikiye Luki by the forces of the Red Army's Kalinin Front against the Wehrmacht's 3rd Panzer Army during the Winter Campaign of 1942–1943 with the objective of liberating the Russian city of Velikiye Luki as part of the northern pincer of the Rzhev-Sychevka Strategic Offensive Operation (Operation Mars).

    The game uses an impulse turn system. Frank Chadwick's impulse system was later adopted and used in such games as Korsun Pocket, Black Sea Black Death and others. It is a complex game and is designed for experienced gamers.
