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")

| 2021-10-22 | (D) Jonathan Plott | vs | Mark Thompson | German win (VASL Log) | The Germans isolated the western VC objective with a kill stack covering the north/south road, and then executed a masterful assault on the eastern two objectives with 3/4s of his force, including all the engineers, the FT and DCs. The Germans captured both of the eastern objectives by Turn 3, and decimated the defending Russian force. Even with the arrival of the Russian "shock group" reinforcements in Turn 3, the German force swung westward and captured the remaining objective at the end of Turn 5. Well done, Mark! |
| 2021-09-07 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Draw | Solo Russian win. A barn burner every time. Great scenario. |
