AFTERMATH 18 Oct (6 Turns): The Germans bring forth heavy weapons during the night, and they bring value immedately. Within minutes of opening fire upon the Russians in the factories, half a company of Russians are dead. This quickly turns into a rout in hall 5, and the Germans seize it. Although the Russians do leave some presents behind, and the Germans lose 20 men to booby traps. By the Volga the Germans make some initial gains, but are stopped when the Russian artillery officer finally wakes up with an empty Vodka bottle in his hand and the Soviet artillery gets going. In the end, the Germans are pushed back, almost to their starting positions. Despite this, the Soviets pay in blood, losing horrendous amounts of men. STAVKA headquarters promises to send more reinforcements, and that these losses are insignificant. In the afternoon, the Germans lose steam, allowing the day to come to a somewhat peaceful end.

AFTERMATH 17 Oct (7 Turns): As the battle for Stalingrad reaches its Apex, and assault into the Red Barricades district for the first time, Col. Sandblom is tasked with crushing the Soviet resistance in the area. Using armor and artillery support, the Germans pushed hard towards the factory area. Besides the regular Soviet army soldiers, they also encountered armed Militia. The Soviets, led by Comrade Falk, were ready for them, with their own artillery and AT-guns. Using their overwhelming firepower, the Germans pushed hard in the center, inflicting heavy casualties to the Russian infantry, who narrowly avoided a collapse as one of the German modules are forced to divert its attention to support the German troops at the Volga front, where the Soviets quickly stalled and trapped the Germans in a local counter-attack, that disintegrated by the German artillery blasts. The two StuG IIIB the Germans had relied on, for support in the Volga sector, failed, as one were knocked out by an AT-Gun from the Chemist Shop fortified upper level, while the other StuG IIIB jammed its gun firing its first shot and disabled it and was Recalled. A bloody  day, especially for the Russians.

The clash in the factories goes really bad from the very start, accurate German fire is followed up with devastating flamethrower attacks, the opportunity to rout away from the German concentrated firegroups is not often given and the Russians that retreat to the rear into rally points is then subject to artillery 100+mm directed by a German spotter plan. The German assault sweep out two large factories. The two Russian OBA Btln MTR 80mm are not used during the day, one waited for any German assault towards the railway embankments that did not occurr while the other tried to call in artillery on the German troops with flamethrowers in the largest factory but never got sight of them until the battle was about to end.

Spelade 8 scenarior men deltog bara i turneringen runda 2:

Spelade en Red Barricades CG scenario, som ryss mot Peyre.

ON1 At The Very Beginning som ryss och förlorade mot Peyre.

ON1 At The Very Beginning som tysk och vann mot Peyre.

ON1 At The Very Beginning som ryss och vann mot Svante.

ON1 At The Very Beginning som tysk och vann mot Svante.

FrF99 Boy Soldiers turnerings-runda förlorade som Tysk, kände segern sötma redan turn 3, men segern gled mig ur händerna när Svantes ryssar återhämtade sig och lyckades meja ned min inplanerade paradmarsch, som blev inställd.

FrF99 Boy Soldiers omspelning av scenariot, bytte sida, mina ryssar utförde barnamord på Svantes boy soldiers.

FrF95 Blood Red Snow spelade tysk mot Svante, helt galen spelning, det svängde bra mycket fram och tillbaka I striden, båda trodde att segern var inom räckhåll och avgörs inte förrän i slutet när tysken hade en liten fördel att knipa hem segern men misslyckades.
