Dev Diary #1 When I first started creating these games, they were traditional I-GO-U-GO designs: one side takes its entire turn—moving units, attacking, finishing all actions—before handing control to the other player to do the same. It’s straightforward and easy to follow, but it has an inevitable drawback: the other side is frozen in time while you’re acting.Then I thought: “Wouldn’t it be neat if it was WEGO instead?”For those unfamiliar, in a WEGO system both players issue their orders during the planning phase, and then the game executes them simultaneously in a resolution phase—like watching a film of the turn play out.I still think WEGO is neat—but I quickly learned why more games don’t use it. In effect, you’re making two games instead of one. The first “game” is just like IGOUGO: players give orders as usual. The second “game” is the complex job of meshing both sides’ orders to…

In WEGO WWII: Stalingrad, the battlefield isn’t just land — it’s crisscrossed with streams, rivers, and major waterways that shape the flow of battle. Unlike the open deserts of previous titles, terrain in Russia demands engineering solutions.That’s where Bridging Engineers come in.These specialized units are essential for maneuvering across river-heavy terrain and controlling key chokepoints. Their three critical roles give you the power to disrupt, restore, or create vital crossings:Destroy BridgesCollapse enemy supply lines or slow advances.80% chance to destroy minor bridges, 40% for major bridges.Repair BridgesRestore damaged infrastructure to keep your forces moving. 40% chance to repair minor bridges, 20% for major bridges.Build PontoonsCreate temporary crossings where no bridge exists.Takes 1 turn to bridge a minor river, 2 turns for a major river.Pontoons remain in place as lon…

Supply SystemSupply in WEGO WWII: Stalingrad is designed to be intuitive and low-maintenance - handled mostly by exception. If you’re on the defensive, you can largely ignore it. But when going on the offensive or planning large maneuvers, you’ll need to engage with it directly and strategically.At the start of each turn, all HQs reset to Basic Supply. You can change supply to Move+, Combat+, or both, giving subordinate units more fuel (for extended movement) or ammo (for higher combat effectiveness). But this comes at a cost - if a unit is given Combat+ supply but does not use it, that supply is lost, so poor planning wastes resources.Supply flows from Main Supply Sources, down through the HQ chain, via Lines of Communication (LOC). Units out of range are penalized, and supply effectiveness degrades if interdicted.Combat+ boosts attack performance.Move+ enables road movement and extend…

Fog of WarThe Fog of War in WEGO WWII: Stalingrad keeps tension high and certainty low. Your intel is never complete, and enemy movements—hidden or misjudged—can upend even the best-laid plans. Units have limited Intel Range and Intel Strength, so smart commanders must scout proactively using Recce units, Air Recon, and assets like radio intercepts.Unlike in many wargames, Recce units here aren’t just weak infantry—they’re essential tools. With superior recon capabilities and the ability to automatically withdraw from enemy contact (unless ordered to hold), they’re built to survive and report - not be sacrificed. No more losing nimble scouts to plodding foot soldiers.Fail to scout properly, and you may find your forces walking blind into disaster.Off-Map AssetsIn WEGO WWII: Stalingrad, the action isn’t confined to the map. Off-map assets play a crucial role in shaping the battlefield. Y…
- WEGO World War II: Stalingrad | Dev Diary #2 - 3 June 2025
Why WEGO? WEGO WWII: Stalingrad breaks away from traditional turn-based systems by using a WEGO (We Go) system, where both players plan their moves simultaneously. The result? A dynamic and unpredictable battle where you have to anticipate your opponent’s actions and react to shifting circumstances — all without knowing exactly what they’ll do next and with fog of war, without even knowing the location or exact strength of their reserves. This system introduces a level of uncertainty (and tactical opportunities!) that are not present in normal turn-based games, forcing players to try and manage the chaos in every turn. Why Stalingrad? WEGO WWII: Stalingrad covers the German 1942 campaign from Operation Heron in July through to the ferocious urban fighting in November. This was one of the most pivotal and brutal confrontations of World War II—a battle that began with the German 6th Army’…
- WEGO World War II: Stalingrad is coming on Steam - 28 May 2025
Introducing WEGO WWII: Stalingrad Hi, I’m Brian Kelly, and together with my collaborator John Duquette, we’re excited to introduce WEGO WWII: Stalingrad, a game that immerses you in one of the most iconic and brutal battles of World War II. This Dev Diary tries to break down some of the features that set WEGO WWII: Stalingrad apart from other wargames. At its core, WEGO WWII: Stalingrad is a hex-based, WEGO-style wargame that puts you in command of the German Sixth Army’s assault on Stalingrad, from the early days of Operation Heron in July 1942 to the intense urban combat in the city during November. What makes this game stand out is its WEGO system, where both players plan their orders and then the movies are executed simultaneously. This adds a layer of unpredictability and strategic depth, forcing you to anticipate your opponent's actions without knowing exactly what they’ll do next…
