Overview:

The battle for Stalingrad is often associated with snipers. The individual names of Zaitsev and Konings are forever linked with the national duels waged at the regimental and divisional levels within the city. However, there were many other such skilled marksmen on both sides concealed in the vast rubble strewn landscape that Stalingrad became. What is more the weapon employed was not solely the scoped rifle. Indeed some Russians, preferred the PPSh submachinegun, others even the antitank rifle, a rare few ‘sniped’ close, very close, by grenade. Their targets were not solely officers, commissioned and non alike, or even specialists like combat engineers or those laying vital communication cable, quite often the ordinary soldier, on both sides, fell silent to the unobserved skills of these masters of their craft. Although the morning of the 27th was relatively quiet in the 95th Division’s sector, by the afternoon things had heated up. From the vicinity of School No. 2 (BB24), the Germans had opened fire on Russian positions with small arms and machineguns in and around the fuel tanks. The Russians responded in kind with machinegun, Molotov cocktail projector and mortar fire of their own, claiming three of the enemy. However, it was the 95th Division’s snipers that proved most active, claiming 17 Germans by day’s end. A figure that is not substantiated by the casualty log for Infanterie Division 305, which lists 4 dead and 22 wounded. The truth has always been a victim of war.. . . . . .The Russian is on the attack at first but the German will get ample opportunities for counterattacking, especially when the Panzer-Pioneer platoon makes their entry on turn 3. The side with more VPs wins and the German starts with 2 VPs forcing the Russian to be aggressive early on. VPs are earned for Building / Rubble / Trench / Bridge / Storage Tanks & CVPs. A really unique SSR for Sniper VPs makes this a very unique and entertaining return to familiar ground for both sides.

2022-06-25(D) Richard Webb vs Joel Ayres German winStrange scenario, CVP and High SAN (plus SAN VP) seemed to encourage both of to finding ways not to lose to do rather than trying positive things to win. came down to firing HMGs at each other in +3 and +4 terrain
2022-06-25(A) Simon Staniforth vs Dave Ramsey German winThe “blind” scenario at Double One we both bid Germans and with a roll off I got the Russians and the balance of an additional HS. The German right was defended by a platoon and “0” leader, no SW, so I decided to attack there with the 8 moral troops, DCs and HMG in support. It didn’t go well despite being Stealthy and / or concealed all the CC went against the Russians and the German HMG firing from Lvl 2 kept chipping away as well. Despite initially capturing a number of VP Locations once his reinforcements came on in that area it was all over with number to stop them sweeping into the Russian back field and mopping up VP so I conceded. Fun to play but dicey like any small scenario I would like to give it another go with more prep time to consider setup
2022-06-25(A) Ian Morris vs Magnus Russian winCurious scenario, both sides looking to minimise casualties suffered while maximising casualties inflicted. I got a stroke of luck when Magnus malf’ed his HMG, and another when I broke a squad in a fortified building. When his FT-toting half-squad tripped a boobytrap, he conceded.
2022-06-25(D) Paul Legg vs Martin Barker Russian winDouble One 2022 - Main Tournament round two (blind scenario)
Martin being the Russians had to attack as the Germans start with 2VP. The forces can setup right beside each other.
2022-06-04(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Russian winThe Russian HMG stayed active the whole game and caused enough German casualties for the win. Lots of CC which ended up favoring the Russians and the German FT x'ed out on the first shot with no effect.
