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.

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.
2020-09-03(D) Eric Topp vs John Fedoriw Russian winEven with the German balance of three more 468 squads, the Germans could not break through the Russian lines to contest the VC buildings until the last turn. Even if they had, there were still HIP Russian units to prevent a German win.
2020-04-15(A) Jesus Pie vs Don Holland German winDecided at the CCPh of the last turn, when Germans finally clear the Russian fortress at the building J32. Very close game.
