ASL Scenario A - The Guards Counterattack: 6th October 1942 Stalingrad, Russia

History: After an extremely successful summer campaign, the Germans came upon the Volga fortress of Stalingrad. Here the 
Red army had dug in and was determined to make a stand. Sensing total victory, the Germans threw more and ever more troops 
into the fighting. But for the first time in the war, German infantry found the Russians their equal. Rebuffed by stiff resistance, 
the Germans committed crack assault engineers. Gradually, the Germans cleared one block, then another, only to loose them 
again to sudden Russian counterattacks. By October 5, the Germans had almost taken the key Dzerhezinsky Tractor Works. 
However, the fighting had been so heavy that the line troops occupying the surrounding area were exceptionally weak from 
the previous weeks combat. At that point, the Russians counterattacked with their crack 37th Guards to break the ring the 
Germans had thrown around the factory and reinforce the desperate defenders.
