Overview:

The 71st Division's drive into central Stalingrad was spearheaded by Colonel Roske's 194th Infantry Regiment. Around noon his two battalions paused briefly to regroup, after which they renewed their efforts to reach the banks of the Volga River and seize the all-important ferry landings. Opposing Roske's advance were battered elements of the 62nd Army, also lightly armed reserves and militia of the 10th NKVD Division, whose job it was to protect the ferry landings until relieved by the 13th Guards Division. The 10th NKVD Division consisted largely of conscripted local militia, with a cadre of actual NKVD troops.
Attacker: German (Infanterie-Regiment 194, Pionier-Bataillon 171, Infanterie-Division 71 and Sturmeschütz Abteilung 244)

2025-10-10(D) Justin DiSabatino vs Russian winThe Germans had a rough start, attempting to drive a wedge from the I1 road into the buildings, but a number of low Russian rolls broke up the attack. The flanking force to the north had greater success, but also at a slower rate due to the emplaced T-34 and INF gun. It all came down to momentum, the Germans were able to fold the Russians defenses in up north and were closing the pincer, but the pace was not fast enough. By the top of turn 6, the Germans still had two buildings to take for control and not enough force to carry the day, so conceded to a Russian win.

2022-08-17(D) David Garvin vs Bill Sosnicki German win
2021-11-11(D) Craig Renier vs Craig N Russian winThe Germans attempted a risky plan assaulting across open ground against the weak Russian left flank. Had it been successful, the German forces would have been in strong position to overwhelm the Russian defense. However, Russian DefF was accurate while German MCs were lacking. The end result was a greatly weakened German force after Turn 3. The Germans pressed the attack, but could not garner enough units to force the road before the Russian reinforcements would arrive. The Germans conceded at the end of the German Turn 4.
