Overview:
The very first scenario for the original Squad Leader. 25 years later this all infantry affair is just as challenging as it was when it first appeared. A must play for grognards and newbies alike.. . ."After an extremely successful summer campaign, the Germans came upon the Volga fortress of Stalingrad. Here the Red Army had dug in and was determined to make a stand. Sensing total victory, the Germans threw more and ever more troops into the fighting. But for the first time in the war, German infantry found the Russians their equal. Rebuffed by stiff resistance, the Germans committed crack assault engineers. Gradually, the Germans cleared one block, then another—only to lose them again to sudden Russian counterattacks. By October 5, the Germans had almost taken the key Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works. However, the fighting had been so heavy that the line troops occupying the surrounding area were exceptionally weak from the previous week’s combat. At that point, the Russians counterattacked with their crack 37th Guards to break the ring the Germans had thrown around the factory and reinforce the desperate defenders."Attacker: Russian (308th Rifle Division / 2nd Battalion, 37th Guards Division)
Defender: German (Company H, 389th Infantry Regiment)

2022-06-17 | (D) David Garvin | vs | Jacques Buchanan | Russian win | Jacques is a new player, but he is quite good. His attack was deliberate and plodding and we saw it all. His sniper took my SAN down to 5. He had 3 squads (and a leader) go berserk. His commissar failed to shoot any of his own guys; however, he did direct some key attacks. His 10-2 ended up leading a successful Human Wave that saw my defensive shots at him do little (though I was aided by a sniper attack on him). In the end, he had 10.5 squad equivalents and I 3.5 squad equivalents, giving him exactly the 3:1 ratio needed. What a fantastic match! |
