This scenario is based apon the the movie Stlingrad made in 1992 its forign. But a good movie any back to the point.

The scenario is the fight in the snow.

The Germany player is going to be playing as Captain Hermann.Its Dec of 42 Stalingrad has benn surronded by the russians for 4 weeks. The Russians have attacked the Germany line at Marinovka. espite heavy losses the Germans held. the Russians are going to try to attack again Hermann as recuit Germany soldiers that have been court marshelled. to defend the position. This spot is key because General Hoths panzer division is kilometers away from Marinovka.

The Russians force is going to try to prevent that by taking Marinvoka and tighting the noose around stalingrad.

This battle will be played on Dog-1 and Charlie-2 Both names are in the bottom left corner of map.

German units deploy on dog one and deploy by trees on back to town start dug in and make all cover rolls from long range attacks Pak 40 stay we they are deployed

Panzerfausts weren't available at Stalingrad.

['panzer' Mayer]

I know but its the only anti-tank Infentary man that the Germany's have Right now. but all take him out for realism factor

[PatrickWR]

Could throw a couple Pak38s in to support the Pak40s...

['panzer' Mayer]

You could if you wanted but in the movie they did not.

[TheCheeseManCan]

No T-34/85s at Stalingrad. They weren't available for another year or so.

['panzer' Mayer]

Ok thats there because I may self an people I know only have 2 t-34

so i through that in there for those who don't have three t-34

its based on an event from the movie and in the movie the had t-34/85's

[PatrickWR]

In fairness, the initial limited production run of T-34/85s did indeed get deployed in the last couple months of '42.

[TheCheeseManCan]

"The modernization of the T-34 was decided upon at a meeting of the State Defense Committee on August 25, 1943, after the severe losses at the battle of Kursk. V. G. Grabin, chief designer at Artillery Factory No. 92, suggesting in the spring of 1943 to us a long barrelled 85 mm tank gun to uparm the T-34."

The idea for a T-34/85 came up after the Battle of Kursk, long after Stalingrad.

"Production started in late 1943 and entered service in Guard units in March 1944."

maybe they deployed photo types of the t-34/85 in late 42' like the germans did with the tiger 1

[PatrickWR]

No, CheeseCan has the right of it. I don't know where I got that '42 number...my mistake.

['panzer' Mayer]

Ok then I will change it

[Stojakovic]

[PatrickWR]
