The City Fight

[beast013]

Stalingrad (outskirts and city itself) is approximately 40km long by 10km wide. Standard map is 3.4km (17 hexes) by 2.4km (12 hexes). So to pull out an entire map of the city would be 12 boards by five boards or 60 boards total. Big. Again, going with a higher-level map broken down into sectors (a sector being one or two mapboards), then you could direct your troops at a higher level and attack in selected sectors. This would not require that many mapboards nor tons of counters. This solution also fits into historical thought as sectors being attacked and defended (what did Hitler say - "Stalingrad has fallen. Only a few small sectors are not in our hands.").
