Overview:

Throughout the Hell that was October in Stalingrad, determined and costly German assaults had managed to steadily shrink the Russian defensive perimeter. Everywhere it seemed that the Russians were hanging on by the slimmest of margins. On this day, near the Red October plant, German troops of the 79th Infantry Division finally broke through, reaching the HQ of Guryev’s beleaguered 39th Guards. As the Germans were about to surround the hard-pressed headquarters personnel, hurriedly dispatched reinforcements (a company of 62nd Army’s Headquarter’s Guard) arrived.
Attacker: German (Infanterie-Division 79)

2023-08-22(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Russian winTried this one again, this time as the defender, learning a bit from my first two attacks. The Russians tried to make crossing the road as painful as possible, though the Germans mostly PREP Fired and advanced, which is basically all they have to do to get the Victory Building by turn 4. I was lucky to get two reinforcement squads on turns 2 and 3 which helped secure my flanks and make getting in the building almost impossible.

2023-08-11(A) Terrence Dorsey vs Russian Russian winIn spite of poor reinforcement rolls, Russians prevailed. Germans rolled right up to HQ several times, but were unable to enter the fortified building, enabling the skeleton Russian crew to maintain VC.
2021-04-24(A) Pascal Boileau vs Jean Frerot German winA flank maneuver to install some German troops to await the Russian reinforcements in order to slow their progression. Then, the firepower of the German troops overwhelmed the last Russians gathered in the victory building... A very good scenario.
2020-05-15(A) Rich Weiley vs Dave Longworth German winClassic ASL my firegroups blasted a way for my troops to advance. Dave had very poor rolls for his reinforcements which allowed me to occupy the victory building in strength before they arrived.
