Overview:

German tactics failed inside the confines of Stalingrad as the Russians were able to dig in and fight from every building. The confines of the city stifled manoeuvre, and German superiority in artillery, air power, and armor were rendered ineffective as the infantry of both sides intermingled while fighting for each block of the city. This was Rattenkrieg – the war of the rats.
Attacker: German (94th Infantry Division)
Defender: Russian (62nd Army/Ad Hoc "Shock Group")

2025-08-07(A) Ian Fox vs Richard Pito German winThe Germans exploited a gap on the Russian left, only to be pushed back, while on the right they got a good foothold and took the two buildings by midgame. The Russians got their shock troops and it turned into a pitched battle for the final building on the left. In the end German firepower won out, ending with a 5KIA on the last of the Russian units.
