Quote
In 1941, Hitler had ordered Field Marshal von Leeb's Army Group north not too take Leningrad by direct assault, but rather to invest the city and destroy it by bombardment and starvation. It is estimated that at the end of 1943, the people of Leningrad were dying at a rate of 20,000 per day. Numbers were estimated at 1,000,000 total loss of population. This is the first Ground Vehicle Snapshot of Aces High. It will pit the fast moving T-34 vs. the tough Panzer IVH. Side % will favor the light T-34. All GV drivers will have 2 lives.
