Overview:

By 23 October the German 6th Army had secured Stalingrad’s tractor factory and gained a solid foothold in the Barrikady gun factory. Their conquest of the southernmost of the three factory complexes, the Krasny Oktyabr steel factory had not yet begun, however. Tasked with this unenviable job was Infanterie-Division 79, a collection of tough veterans. After a brief but intense bombardment of the enemy positions, the 79th’s assault troops, backed by Stukas and StuGs, were to advance in three well-defined steps. The attackers’ first objective was the railroad embankment just west of the factory.
Attacker: German (Infanterie-Regiment 212 with Pionier-Bataillon 179 and Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 244)
Defender: Russian (112th Guards Rifle Regiment and 48th Machine Gun Battalion, 39th Guards Rifle Division with Factory Militia Detachment)

2022-02-03(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Russian win
2022-02-03(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian winMy Germans successfully advanced to the railroad, but mines and wire had stalled my 8-3-8's in front of the J32 building. I lost both STUG's to the AT Guns, but both those crews would later die. The Stukas and OBA were ineffectual, but my 10-2 dominated the battlefield until the Sniper killed him on Turn 6. This would shatter my best kill stack and Dan's Russians would counter-attack back across the railroad and into the J25 building. In my last movement phase, I managed to get into position to close combat every Russian unit in the J25 and Hall 5 locations. This would be 6 Hand to Hand close combats. I would win 4 of these outright and be in Melee in one and lose another. That would keep the Russians in control of Building 5 for the win.
2021-04-25(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian winUsed German balance. Once the attackers were committed to pushing through the north flank, the minefields decimated most of them, leaving the few survivors who managed to get forward being forced to rout back into the minefields with demoralizing results. The main thrust in the center was also stalled by determined Russian defenders entrenched in front of the buildings. The best use of wire and minefields I have ever been subjected to. A beautiful Russian victory in the top of the 5th turn.
2021-04-13(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winUsed German balance. Germans got diced right off the bat. 4 hex Minefield along Russian flank took a heavy toll. Both German AVs got Bogged down & OBA could not come down with eventual Radio Malfunction. Turns out that most of the 'blood on the tracks' ended up being German.
2021-02-16(D) Kevin Sanders vs Jason Littleton Russian winTough defensive nit for the Germans. They ran out of smoke early and the Rocket OBA was not that effective.
