Introduction

ARMY GROUP SOUTH: As the German LI Infantry Corps approached the outskirts of Stalingrad, its 71st Infantry Division ran into the first of the defensive works ringing the city. The 194th Infantry Regiment attempted to penetrate the defenses near a railway station. The 101st Heavy Howitzer Battalion and a number of Stuka dive bombers provided strong support.
Conclusion

Amid desperate fighting, the Germans advanced with the help of artillery and air support. By the early afternoon the railway station had been taken.
Display Relevant AFV Rules
AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle
  • Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
  • AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement.
  • AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
  • Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2).
  • Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
  • Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
  • Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
  • Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
  • AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
  • AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Immune to M, M1 and M2 results on Direct and Bombardment Fire Tables. Do not take step losses from Direct or Bombardment Fire. If X or #X result on Fire Table, make M morale check instead (7.25, 7.41, 7.61, BT, DFT).
  • Closed-top AFV's: Provide the +1 modifier on the Assault Table when combined with infantry. (Modifier only applies to Germans in all scenarios; Soviet Guards in scenarios taking place after 1942; Polish, US and Commonwealth in scenarios taking place after 1943.) (ACC)
  • Assault Gun: if closed-top, provide the +1 Assault bonus, when applicable

Scenario PaGr029

This was a frustrating draw from almost the beginning since the victory conditions as published allow for both sides to accomplish their respective missions. The Russians under the wily, Treadasaur, had to eliminate only 12 German steps, which my defending opponent managed to do by the 10th turn. My Germans had to take and hold all the town hexes, and were able to do this after fierce fighting, but with horrendous casualties (20 steps). Both ends were accomplished, although I think that the Russians had the harder pull in this, probably unplaytested, scenario.

We give this poorly-designed scenario a generous rating of 3.
