"I, the Commanding Officer of the Defenders of Stalingrad, have decided that the highest rank of this clan will be Major, and that rank will be reserved for myself only. As Commanding Officer I accept the full, unconditional responsibility for the performance of this clan. Members will be held responsible for their own actions and dealt with accordingly."

Philosophy

What We Do

Founded in 2003, the Defenders of Stalingrad is different from any clan you will ever meet. We challenge the defining goals many clans impose. Other clans burden members with large sums of money, large time investments, and unnecessary rules. They forget the reason you want to be in a clan is to share ideas, meet others who share your PC gaming interests, and ultimately have fun.

Our Vision

For over two decades we have followed our vision. We have impacted thousands of gamers from North America to Western Europe. While we support big titles, what sets us apart is our focus on niche and legacy games.
