In an earlier post we discussed a little about the options for the Germans and their Allies.

Using a historical setup The Soviets opened up with relatively light barrages, thinking to assess where the Germans would move or if they would stand and fight. There was no shock and awe campaign!

SCS players know there are variable module specific rules. In this game we roll for Air points, which are used per 1.7 rules or as defined in module – i.e. column shits, or added to barrages.

Determined Attack or DAMS are a special feature used differently by each side. They in essence double some or all of your forces attack factors.

Soviet Turn 1

1^st and 5^th Armies score DG’s, the 25^th Army DG’s some units leveraging Katys. Whilst 62^nd Army inflicts a step loss on 4^th Corp near Stlaingrad

1^st Guard attacks the 11^th.  near Blinoff. This results in an A1

8^th & 47^th atk the 9^th Romanian north of BLinoff, scoring a D1

21^st Army attack across the dam pontoon and pay dearly for it. A2. 21^st army also attacks and kills units in Bazkovskii. (11.21)

24^th Army area attacks near Pashino killing the 113^th of the 8^th Corp.

64^th  attacks 4^th Corp with a 7:1 odds and gets a NR….really.?

57^th army earns a NR for a 3:1.

Attacking across the hills the 51^st kills 2 steps and 4M kills the 5Cav Rumanian in (57.24).

But otherwise the 7th Rum. Corp holds on, and give up nothing on the 2 passes. Further west they are not so lucky.

1 Tank drives SW of Korotkovskii and attacks.

4^th Tank attacks Rumanian 5^th. 1GdM sits in Reserve.

62nd Army  re organizes and head to…….…..#$#$#

We forgot to use DAMS!

The Axis Turn 1.

Barrages fires by the 6-7 Rum. Fail. 25+ factor barrage on the 36Gd gets a mere DG. The Axis forces move up to cover on the Southern side of Stalingrad, fill holes where possible. Several attacks on lone Katys in the rear only DG one unit.

The 6^th Guard are reduced by 4^th Romanian Corps mass barrage! 6:1 attack yields a d1.We are in for a battle of attrition here. Which bodes poorly for the Axis. The axis deploy aircraft liberally.

Using a DAM marker Axis fierce attacks kill 3 steps near pontoons at edge of Stalingrad, and an 8:1 picks off two more steps.

Each side lost 6 steps this turn.
