Overview:

German tactics failed inside the confines of Stalingrad as the Russians were able to dig in and fight from every building. The confines of the city stifled manoeuvre, and German superiority in artillery, air power, and armor were rendered ineffective as the infantry of both sides intermingled while fighting for each block of the city. This was Rattenkrieg – the war of the rats.
Attacker: German (94th Infantry Division)
Defender: Russian (62nd Army/Ad Hoc "Shock Group")

2020-06-09(A) Craig Renier vs Keith Hiljus German winGerman advance on the east side was thrown back despite good FT result. The advance on the west broke half the Russian defenders and made it across the road. On Turn 2 the German force on the east rallied and quickly advanced. Weak Russian MMG placement allowed the German player to consolidate the gains and seize the last building with force while maintaining strong defensive position against Russian reinforcements. Game called at the end of Turn 4.
2020-05-27(D) Craig Renier vs Ethan Delwood Russian winGerman initial assault was thrown back with losses delaying his advance. Russian reinforcements arrived on Turn 4 entering on the western side where the German player left only one squad to hold the western building. Russian reoccupied and held the building to game end.
