Pavlov’s House: The Battle of Stalingrad (2nd Edition) is a tactical World War II game that recreates one of the most remarkable defensive actions of the Battle of Stalingrad. Players take command of the determined Soviet defenders holding the famous apartment block known as Pavlov’s House while also coordinating the wider efforts of the Soviet 62nd Army to keep the stronghold supplied and operational.
Named after Sergeant Yakov Pavlov, whose assault group initially secured the building, Pavlov’s House became a symbol of Soviet resistance during the brutal fighting for Stalingrad. Surrounded by German forces and under constant attack, the defenders held their position for nearly two months against overwhelming odds.
This game includes:
140 cards
4 sheets of counters
5 dice
3 reference sheets
33" x 17" mounted tactical display
Rulebook
Key features:

Historical recreation of the defence of Pavlov’s House
Tactical combat combined with operational-level decision making
Management of supplies, reinforcements, and leadership resources
German attacks driven by a dynamic card system
Multiple player roles and play styles
Strong historical theme and narrative gameplay
About the game:
In Pavlov’s House, you are responsible not only for the soldiers defending the building itself, but also for the commanders and support network of the Soviet 62nd Army that helped keep the position operational. Every decision matters as German forces intensify their assaults and resources become increasingly scarce.
The objective is to survive the relentless pressure of the German 6th Army by managing defenders, coordinating support, and maintaining control of key positions. The game captures both the desperate close-quarters fighting around the building and the broader challenges faced by Soviet commanders across the Volga River.
Players can experience the game in several ways. Solo players control both the defenders and Soviet leadership. In cooperative games, one player manages the defence of the building while another oversees the wider Soviet command structure. Competitive play introduces a German player directing attacks against the Soviet defenders.
Combining historical authenticity, tactical decision-making, and multiple modes of play, Pavlov’s House delivers a tense and rewarding Stalingrad experience that remains one of DVG’s most acclaimed designs.
