2018-07-18(A) Tripp Killin vs Sebastian Killin Russian winGave my son the Russian balance. My Germans rolled early, and things were looking great, but I got greedy and advanced into some CCs. At mid-game I had 7 squads in Melee. 3 MMC were still in Melee at game end. StuGs were useless and sniper killed 10-2 and others. Regardless, I got very close. But for a heroic stand by a Russian Conscript squad during Turn 6, who passed 4 MCs of various levels, I might have won.
2018-02-26(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe German well equipped troops quickly overwhelmed the NKVD defense and reached the Volga. The Russian counter-attacks were either pinned or routed with heavy fire. The few armored support was no match for the pioneer troops. A crushing victory for the Germans.
2013-06-30(A) Martí Cabré vs Solo DrawA fine balanced scenario featuring Stalingrad. The Germans start overwhelming but they have a lot of work to do inside Stalingrad. Crossing the streets is dangerous, so use those smoke grenades and the StuGs to cover your troops.
Nice features for SK are the sniper and Stuka SSRs. In my play the Germans took all the locations north of row I but with the coming reinforcements I decided to quit with one turn remaining, as there was no way to reach the last building. Special highlights include the Russian gun crew breaking its weapon and on the next turn FPF firing rolling 2,1 three times to KIA three attacking squads.
