please make the map bigger, I have 19K but with the amont of space I have, I'll get crushed on the first arty barrage

Whoah, 19k??? shux... I have 7500 hehehe talk about the overhwhelming force of the Soviet Army... to be honest... I don't have that much artillery, just a few mortars, I'll try to setup up a bigger one a bit later (gotta go to school first) If I can't find one, we'll just have a battle

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Tue Aug 27, 2002 7:52 am

OK, here it is, 7500 ++ pts.

Meeting Engagement in Stalingrad between the 29th Motorised (One of Germany's finest) and the 35th Guards Infantry

10% artillery

You choose how many airstrikes, the German luftwaffe is beaten at this point so there is none for Germany

Infiltrators are OK to represent the chaos of Stalingrad.

(Hypothetical:)
Can the 29th hold against the reinforced and reinvigorated Red Army?? If the 29th holds here then the 6th Army will be able to break out and meet with Manstein's reinforcements, therefore solidifying the German lines. If not then history will unfold and the 6th army will be crushed.

Let's get it on!!!

Here's the file, buy and deploy my friend

A dozen Katyushas pound the German lines, smashing buildings left and right and causing a bunch of casualties. German infantry cower in their boots as the rockets land and destroy their bunks. The left side of the map is literally in ruins, and this is the first turn. 120mm cause even more disturbance in the lines. But the 29th will hold...

A plane, I did not really see what type, drops bombs on one of the division's AT guns (50mm) and kills the crew, leaving a huge crater behind.

My initial artillery barrage was less exciting, with a few Wespes and 81mms killing 3 or 4 bolsheviks. The right side of the map looks much cleaner...

The German army moves forward to secure the Train Station.

Your Turn

The German infantry moves forward despite the constant pounding by the Katyushas and 120mms.

Infantry supported by SturmGeschutz and flammwagens inch slowly forward. A truck in the north carrying a SMG squad is destroyed by a direct hit from a StuG, the accompanying infantry suffers 5 casualties from a flammwagen, forcing them back.

Along the line, 2 MC squads are dispersed, another is reduced to half strength.

The bloodbath has begun!!!!

AT-guns support the infantry attack by firing direct at houses and structures which might contain Soviet infantry.

MG42s take position and search for enfilade fields of fire...

Your Turn

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Wed Aug 28, 2002 7:05 am

Stug's lots of them!

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Wed Aug 28, 2002 2:54 pm

Another SMG squad is dispersed this turn by concentrated StuG and Flammwagen fire. A few other Soviet squads in the south are decisively pushed back by cannon and machinegun fire. The VHes north of the station are mine now. Infantry elements to the north have been spotted.

The German infantry struggles to catch up with the StuGs.

Hope you like my barrage next turn Viking. hehehehe

Speakers mounted on the Flammpanzers are blaring:

"Soldiers of the Soviet Union! Surrender! It is not us who are your enemies! It is bloodthirsty Stalin! Join us comrades, there is no point in fighting! He is just sending you to your deaths!"

Your Turn

Sorry, here it is

Interesting thing:
Soviet soldiers hiding in houses are being bombarded by StuGs and Flammwagens, causing unheard of casualties...

It's like playing roulette, I pick a winning house and throw everything at it, first with a StuG then with a Flammpanzer, with spectacular results

hehehehe

Your Turn

Several Stugs die this turn guess they picked the wrong house;)

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Thu Aug 29, 2002 7:50 am

The body count continues... In the south my forces have crossed the main road and are starting to push back Soviet infantry.

My initial attack on the entrance of the Train station has been repulsed by Partisans. To the north, my StuG retreats to a more sensible position but not before pushing back a SMG squad and destroying a truck.

OK, here's the kill count for this turn:

I kill:
2 SMG squads
4 Partisan squads
Truck
RPG team
1/2 Guard squad
plus some more with artillery.

hehehe your turn, very bloody. Everything is on fire in the middle.

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Thu Aug 29, 2002 8:41 am

I noticed you didn't mention your losses

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Thu Aug 29, 2002 9:09 pm

Of course, all for the sake of German morale

YOUR losses however are posted on occupied buildings every turn hehehehe

I destroy 1 1/2 Guards squads, a MC squad and 3 Partisan squads this turn.

My attack on the train station itself has failed once again

Soviet armor is now being spotted, several Wolverines and a T-34 flametank (85). A StuG is de-crewed by a Wolverine...

120mm mortar rounds fall once again on German lines, killing about a dozen or so soldiers. (there, my casualties too)

Your turn

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 12:12 am

Killed a Stug the meatgrinder continues

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 7:35 am

Bloody street-to-street and house-to-house fighting accompanied by the constant pounding of 120mm's

I finally got to enter the train station, some soviet squads are left, but they will be swarmed soon enough.

I kill a partisan squad, a guard infantry squad, an M10 Wolverine, a MC squad and a Scout team this turn. In the process I suffer around 20+ casualties dispersed within 6 squads most of these suffered in the south where the house-to-house fighting is the bloodiest plus an immobilized Flammwagen and a StuG left in a very bad position.

German artillery are swinging their tubes, hope they provide enough cover for that immobilized flammwagen...

More 120mms pound the german infantry but casualties from artillery are surprisingly few this turn.

Your Turn

VikingNo2 · Post by **VikingNo2** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 10:50 am

Swarmed I'll show you swarmed:D

Vetkin · Post by **Vetkin** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 9:42 pm

Yup, starting to get swarmed, another StuG gets assaulted and is immobilized.

The train station is almost mine, through fierce fighting. Those guardsmen are tough!

2 more partisan squads are killed this turn in addition to a 12.7mm MG squad. Russian resistance is stiffening.

The loud speakers continue their propaganda:
"Surrender comrades! There is no more point in fighting! The wonderful city of Stalingrad is in ruins! Let us cease hostilities! Lay down your arms! It is not us who are barbarians but your Stalin!"
