Overview:

Although desperate to buy time to allow the 45th Division to be ferried across the Volga at night, the Russians had no more reserves. During the 27th, the shattered 118th Rifle Regiment had a bit of luck. To their surprise, they recovered three tanks from the front lines, one with a functional flamethrower. Anxious to buy time and spread their newfound joy, the Russians threw together these tanks and sent this hastily formed armored reserve to counterattack. Supported by artillery and katyusha batteries, the Russians launched their attack in the pre-dawn twilight. . .
Attacker: Russian (118th Rifle Regiment/62nd Army Staff and 118th Rifle Regimental Headquarters)
Defender: German (Infanterie Division 79)

2022-10-17(D) Andy Bagley vs Hans Bugge Russian winOh joy? Oh misery! I'm not a fan of Stalingrad scenarios and didn't enjoy this one, although this may have been influenced by appalling luck early on (sniper hits my dummy stack, 4+3 shot rolls snakeyes against my best units and they all break, PzkwIII malf's MA on first shot). All credit to my opponent though, putting his 10-3 leader to direct a successful DI shot with the ATR against a StuG (of course, the crew bailed out and were shot dead doing so) and then getting the FT tank round to the rear of my units to cause more havoc. After a failed CC attempt against this tank on my turn 3, I conceded as the Russians had already achieved their VCs.

2020-06-01(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winAFV Flamethrower was Eliminated on first attempt to fire it. 10-3 assisted the 458 & MMG to their deaths through 12 FP Minefield. Germans turned it into a classic counter attack immediately and it quickly unraveled for the Russians.
