November 1942 on the banks of the River Volga. The German Army advance into the Caucasus Mountains in search of the Russian oilfields has halted for the winter as the bitter fighting in Stalingrad takes center stage. The German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, has virtually driven the Red Air Force from the skies. The Germans, confident in taking the city that holds Stalin's namesake, strip their flanks of troops to bolster their forces fighting inside the city. For just one last push to decide the battle and the outcome of the war.

In the freezing city, cut off hundreds of miles to the east, the young Leutnant Hausser and his squad returns, having re-joined their unit on the north-west corner of the pocket facing a determined and ruthless enemy. With the Germans and their allies inside the encircled city desperately short of food and ammunition, the Russians ensure the aromas of their own cooking are known to the isolated defenders, taunting their trapped enemy.

November 1942, Russia: The Red Army closes the net around Stalingrad near Kalach, surrounding one of the most formidable armies on the planet, the German Sixth Army. One of the Wehrmacht's finest and strongest fighting units.

Less than two months after the devastating fall of Stalingrad, the German Wehrmacht is once again attacking, the prize of retaking Kharkov and Belgorod beyond enticing the forward units in their advance. With virtually catastrophic losses in the fall of the city that holds Stalin's name, the new Tiger tanks and Panzer IVs begin to near their goals, hope beginning to once again to rise in their crews' chests.

A darkness is falling across the galaxy. With allied forces in a full desperate retreat across the remains of Zaxon B, the Red Leopards move forward in an attempt to redress the balance. With the protective orbiting space station already under attack, the last opportunity for escape has now passed. The stranded forces on the planet are alone.

Far across the Trevakian Empire...the furthest planet, Zaxon B, stands alone and embattled on both the surface and surrounding space. With no word of forces available to support the struggle, hordes of armored Morgons and Silakians pour from drop ships onto the inhospitable planet, the heavily outnumbered defenders fighting for their lives against an enemy that takes no prisoners and prizes the skulls of defeated foes as trophies.

With war raging across the far reaches of the galaxy, Earth sits in apprehensive peace and deafening silence. A small detachment of Trevakian Ships guard the lone planet from orbit above whilst world leaders rush to rebuild their fighter strength and manufacture the advanced weaponry the new allies have provided.
