Reception

World at War: Stalingrad sold fewer than 50,000 units globally. This was part of a trend for Avalon Hill games during the period; Terry Coleman of Computer Gaming World wrote in late 1998 that "no AH game in the past five years" had reached the mark.[3]

In PC Gamer US, T. Liam McDonald called Stalingrad "as good as wargaming gets."[2] The magazine's editors later nominated Stalingrad for their 1995 "Best Wargame" award, but ultimately gave the prize to Steel Panthers.[4]

Czech magazine Score rated the game 8 out of 10.[5]
