Enemy at the Gates – Expansion for Heroes of the Bitter Harvest

Enemy at the Gates is an expansion module for Heroes of the Bitter Harvest, bringing the brutal, street-to-street combat of Stalingrad to the Lock 'n Load Tactical Series. Set in late 1942 to early 1943, this expansion immerses players in the desperate battle for the war-torn ruins of Stalingrad, where Soviet and German forces fought for every street, factory, and building. Featuring fluid, impulse-based turns, individual heroics, and the chaos of urban warfare, Enemy at the Gates adds new scenarios, units, and mechanics to intensify the struggle for control of the city.

The Battle for Stalingrad – A Turning Point in WWII

In September 1942, the German 6th Army, supported by elite Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS divisions, launched a massive offensive against Stalingrad, a key industrial hub on the Volga River. The Soviets, under General Vasily Chuikov, transformed the city into a fortress of resistance, leading to some of the most vicious urban combat in history. Buildings became fortifications, factories turned into battlegrounds, and the fight for every street, block, and ruin defined this grueling battle.

Expand Your Battles with New Scenarios & Locations

Enemy at the Gates brings players face to face with the horrors of Stalingrad, introducing intense, scenario-driven engagements across famous locations, including:

⬢ Pavlov’s House – A Soviet stronghold that held out against German assaults for months.

⬢ The Factory – A last-stand battle where Soviet defenders fought to the last man.

⬢ The Red October Factory – A brutal industrial battlefield with tanks and infantry clashing inside shattered buildings.

⬢ The Volga River Crossings – A desperate fight as Soviet reinforcements struggle to reach the embattled city under fire.
