Here is a list of the games that will come in the SGS Battle series collection. Some are published, others in beta testing and have a rather advanced status; others are still on their way (see Next games).
SGS Battle for Stalingrad
The terrible “rat fights” (Ratenkrieg) fought out in the urban area of Stalingrad end of 1942, on a battalion scale and two days per turn scales. Relive one of the fiercest and deadliest battles in history, a ‘Hell in a Small Place’.
SGS Battle for Madrid
The game takes place from November 1936 to February 1937, and saw the most intense fighting in and around the city when the Nationalists made their most determined attempt to take the Republican capital. The latter held the city which did not fall till 1939, when the war was decided on other fronts. But it could have been different if the capital had fallen earlier…
SGS Battle for Hue
The third game of the SGS Battle Series, covering the intense fighting inside the Vietnamese city of Huế in 1968, a bloody episode of the infamous ‘Têt Offensive’ during the Vietnam War.
The Battle of Huế (31 January 1968 – 2 March 1968), also called the siege of Huế, was a major military engagement in the Tết Offensive launched by North Vietnam and the Việt Cộng during the Vietnam War. After initially losing control of most of Huế and its surroundings, the combined South Vietnamese and American forces gradually recaptured the city over one month of intense fighting. The battle was one of the longest and bloodiest of the war, and the battle negatively affected American public perception of the war. Can you decide victory (for one side or the other) in a speedier way?
SGS Battle for Dien Bien Phu
The fourth game of the SGS Battle Series, also set in Vietnam, at the end of what is known as the War of Indochina (1946-1954). The battle was a decisive defeat for the French and decided of the end of the conflict.
This battle was a climactic confrontation that took place between 13 March and 7 May 1954. The troops of the CEFEO (French Far East Expeditionary Corps) and Viet Minh communist revolutionaries, each supported (more or less covertly) by powerful allies fought for almost two months in that remote place of northwest Tonkin. The French expected to renew with their previous victory at Na-San in a similar concept (entrenched base in the middle of enemy lines, supported by paras, air force and artillery), but they were caught to their own game by a better preparation of their foe, who played his own assets (numbers, artillery support, anti-aircraft guns and supplies) with a better efficiency. The peace negotiations at Geneva were adversely affected, for the French, by their defeat. Could a victory, or at least a stalemate, lead to a different outcome and peace?
SGS Battle for Fort Donelson
Another new game of the SGS Battle Series, this time taking place during the American Civil War (1861-1865) era.
The Battle of Fort Donelson was fought from February 11–16, 1862, in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. The Union capture of the Confederate fort near the Tennessee–Kentucky border opened the Cumberland River, an important avenue for the invasion of the South. The Union’s success also elevated Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant from an obscure and largely unproven leader to the rank of major general, and earned him the nickname of “Unconditional Surrender” Grant. You can play both side and decide if the victory can be different.
SGS Samourai Battles
The first game of the SGS Battle Series in the modern era. Three key battles that took place in 16th century Japan are represented, during one of the most unsettled periods in its history, the Sengoku Jidai, the age of the “warring provinces”, or rather of the “Warrior states”. Nagashino, June 28, 1575 ; Shizugatake, June 11, 1583 ; Sekigahara, October 21, 1600.
