Donnerschlag - set up ready for solo tryout

Donnerschlag arrived and I have just completed set up ready for a try with game in ensuing few days (O Group minis game tomorrow so brushing up on those today).

Great looking game with a nice mounted map and counter with a sort 'glossy linen' feel to them.

Game from fairly new German company VUCA Simulations who have a reputation for high production values (well deserved).

As anticipated some rules errata to absorb (docs printed) but the game is on lower end of complexity scale with only 10 pages of actual rules and nothing too onerous at first blush.

The use of Activation and Combat cards looks fun.

Unit counters colour coded for Formation Acitvation

Soviet defenders (the A,B & C areas are possible relief corridors to off-board Stalingrad Cauldron that Germans are trying to reach)
