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")

2026-04-06(A) Carlos Bedson vs Russian Russian win3.5 hrsRussians set up to only defend centre and east building and yet spread thinly to draw fire. Germans set up with leaders on machine guns. Two single squads with demo charges, both broke and unable to get leader across to rally. Germans swooped down west and captured building. But hard to take central building until turn 5. Russians eventually collapsed leaving solitary 2-2-7 in east building. German leader, 4-6-7 & LMG attempted to storm in last turn, but last Russian 2-2-7 at pbf rolled 1-1 and killed Germans, thereby winning.
