Overview:

Throughout the grueling month of October, determined and costly German assaults had steadily shrunk the Soviet defensive perimeter. By October 24, Panzer Division 14 had reached “Bread Factory #2” just to the south of the Barikady and commenced its assault the next day, only to be rebuffed by the fierce defensive fire of the 138th Rifle Division. The remnants of Motorcycle Battalion 64 were crouched in the ruins opposite the Bread Factory, slain and wounded leaders scattered about them. There seemed to be no way across the deadly street, but Sgt. Esser could no longer stand the tension. Screaming “Forward!” he led his twelve men out into the road and into the adjacent building.
Attacker: German (Kradschützenbataillon 64/Panzergrenadier Regiment 103/Panzer Division 14)

2022-03-26(A) Jack Wilson vs Jim Liang German winExcellent design. The Germans have to capture two single hex buildings to win. Jim decided to not occupy the buildings at set up. Instead, he laid multiple kill zones around the approaches, which essentially put the buildings in a no-man's zone of death. Most of the battle involved me trying to suppress those FGs with LOS to the route I would need to get safely into the buildings. No easy task I can tell you! His 45L with 3ROF was making rate so often we were surprised the barrel didn't melt. The SSR Comisar rule pretty much turns any units he is stacked with into supermen (especially the squads that are already elite to start with) their morale is raised by 1, and they ignore DM DRM on rally! Despite the fact that this is supposed to be a city fight in Stalingrad, there are plenty of sneaky thread-the-needle LOS shots between buildings which makes skulking less effective and movement in OG very dangerous. (I learned the hard way with a leader and two MMC lugging two MMG that got reduced to a quivering mass from a single MMC firing from two city blocks away). The game was very tight and came down to the last turn. Lucky for me, Jim's dice went ice cold right when I needed it most. Definitely recommended.
