Overview:

Defense of Stalingrad’s central district and the all important main ferry landing lay largely in the hands of hastily mobilized militia composed of factory workers and the NKVD garrison. These troops would have to hold the Wehrmacht at bay until the 13th Guards Division could cross the Volga into the city. But as the German 76th Infantry Division entered the ruins of downtown Stalingrad on a two-mile front, they met the enemy in a new environment more suitable to his talents. Nevertheless, as Captain Gerhard Meunch personally led his 3rd Battalion in the assault, he had every expectation of reaching the Volga that day. . .
Attacker: German (3rd Battalion, 194th Infantry Regiment)

2020-04-26(A) David Garvin vs Zebulon Tingley Russian winI went hard after him down my left and got into the factory area in strength early on; however, I failed to isolate the factory and soon it was filling with many more Soviets than I could deal with. Great defence in spite of his gun doing virtually nothing for him. Great fun!

2020-04-25(A) davide galloni vs Raffaele Russian winIt's very hard for german troops contrast the russians reinforcements.
2020-02-02(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Stefan Fiedler German winA long and hard game through 85 log files, PBEM. Playing against a seasoned ASL warrior tought me a few lessons or at least showed me how the game is played. It looked difficult for me from the beginning and I was too late to regroup, had placed my gun in a bad spot and from there it only went downhill although it brightened up a bit in the middle. I managed to hold out until the end of turn 9 so I´m still pretty happy.
2020-02-02(A) Stefan Fiedler vs Vilis Pavulans German winFun play. Played a new player who has a very good grip on ASL already. Saw a weakness on the flank and crushed the initial resistance with overwatch killstack. Then pressed hard in teh middle with Russian struggling to assemble a coherent delaying defense.V ilis did well and held out until turn 9.
2020-01-12(D) Ken Rutkowski vs Bill Thomson German winThis scenario started out looking like the HIP'd Russians would win the day with their surprise. Unfortunately both MG groups failed to even slow down the German advance. In the end it came down to getting the reinforcements in the factory to off-set the Germans that had LOS to the board edge. The Russians lost the last CC giving the Germans the victory.
