Overview:
The deep bed of the River Tsaritsa ("Queen") formed a sizable gully that divided Stalingrad's central and southern districts. This was also the boundary between 6th Army's LI Armeekorps and 4th Panzer Army's XLVIII Panzerkorps. Leading Generaloberst Herman Hoth's Army into southern Stalingrad was Panzer-Division 24; Gruppe Edelsheim had broken through, and its forward unit had reached the crucial rail bridge over the Tsaritsa. This not only sought to establish contact with Infanterie-Division 71 from LI Armeekorps, but also threatened to cut off and surround the Soviet 244th Rifle Division and 42nd Rifle Brigade that were defending a salient on "Barracks Hill" to the west. To prevent this, the CO of 10th NKVD Division, Colonel Alexander A. Sarayev, ordered the rail bridge to be retaken immediately.Attacker: Russian (NKVD) (270th and 272nd NKVD Regiments, 10th NKVD Division)
Defender: German (Bataillon I, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 26, Panzer-Division 24)

| 2025-02-05 | (A) Robert Wiebe | vs | German | Russian (NKVD) win (VASL Log) | 2.33 hrs | Excellent design by Tom Morin. Russians Bayonet Charged a northern German position and were able to eliminate it easily, and followed on to another location before being broken. In the south, the Russians were in H-t-H on their turn 1, and pushed the Germans back towards the railcars, with a lone, PINNED, 447 securing the Russian VC. Only a concealed German HS remained in the North. | |

| 2025-01-16 | (A) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | D | Russian (NKVD) win | Russians did not implement the Bayonet Charge but still managed to MOL their way to victory. | |
| 2025-01-07 | (A) John Garlic | vs | Roger Whelan | Russian (NKVD) win | Given LV, and in our case spreading fires, this was very much a CC game with Russians able to move up quickly and overwhelm Germans in CC. | ||
