Overview:

The deep bed of the River Tsaritsa ("Queen") formed a sizable gully that divided Stalingrad's central and southern districts. This was also the boundary between 6th Army's LI Armeekorps and 4th Panzer Army's XLVIII Panzerkorps. Leading Generaloberst Herman Hoth's Army into southern Stalingrad was Panzer-Division 24; Gruppe Edelsheim had broken through, and its forward unit had reached the crucial rail bridge over the Tsaritsa. This not only sought to establish contact with Infanterie-Division 71 from LI Armeekorps, but also threatened to cut off and surround the Soviet 244th Rifle Division and 42nd Rifle Brigade that were defending a salient on "Barracks Hill" to the west. To prevent this, the CO of 10th NKVD Division, Colonel Alexander A. Sarayev, ordered the rail bridge to be retaken immediately.

2024-10-07(D) Douglas Leslie vs Eric Partizan Eric German winHad a blast playing this as the defending Germans. The LV hindrance makes it very difficult to break opposing units, particularly if they are in stone buildings so Eric and I both maxed out on DCs. The fighting was brief and bloody. South of the bridge the Russians seemed to be making decent progress but were stopped by a DC toting 468 which turned the attack back. The fighting to the north of the bridge was brutal and the Russians cleared the bridge perimeter of all but one and a half squads and an 8-1 leader by the CCPh of Turn 2. The Russians had taken heavy casualties themselves and only had two unbroken squads. I decided to advance everything I had left there into CC with a LMG toting 628, got lucky with the ambush dr and took it out in hand to hand fighting. At this point, Eric conceded. With such difficult visibility, CC was the key here and the Germans had the luck of the dice when it mattered.
