Overview
Modern warfare runs on oil - without it you cannot run the tanks, trucks and planes needed to keep an army going, so control of the oilfields is vital for any War Factory. This story centres around the discovery and exploitation of the Baku Oilfields in the Russian Caucasus, which ultimately forced Stalin and Hitler to face-off in one of the most decisive battles in the history of warfare: Stalingrad.
