timeline/season/scenario for HOS?

[Sgt Jigglebelly]

I checked the fact thread, the article, and a forum search and didn't find anything on this question specifically...

but I was wondering what sort of time period in the Germans vs Soviets war front? also, will any of it take place during the snowy winter as well? the beginning campaign of COD2 has got to be one of my favorite WW2 game experiences ever, so I was really hoping that maybe we'll see some Russian winter maps in RO? devs or players comment or confirm?

if not, what times/seasons are we looking at here? or is it too early to tell?

You missed the first message of the first thread...

Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and Russian, from July 1942 to February 1943

wow, no joke, i completely read over that... oops uh, thanks for that, i guess

looks like we'll def. get some winter stuff then, unless it just gets purposely avoided or something

How could "winter stuff" be avoided, when the game is about Stalingrad?

The battle where for example thousands of men suffered (and died) from serious frostbites?

And have you seen photos from battle of Stalingrad? The latter part of the battle looks pretty "wintery" to me.
