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")

2024-07-02 | (A) Justin DiSabatino | vs | German win | The German set up a kill stack to help cover the advance across the main street, as well as a second to put pressure on the right flank. The Germans ground away at the Russian defenses, breaking units to limit FGs and using the higher smoke exponent to keep pushing the roads to put pressure on the Russians. The constant pressure forced the Russians back across the map in a shrinking pocket that collapsed in on the O6 building, where they were eventually eliminated. | |||
