AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): A new German Commander, Herr Cpt Sandblom transferred to the Stalingrad sector. Given the task to assault the Red Barricades on Saturday 17th October, short preparations for the task at hand is given to him, and he is instructed to be flexible enough to cope with the situation at hand. He calls in a StuG IIIB pltn to reinforce the planned assault and a second Sturm Coy, with STUKA support. A mild breeze starts, early on, to blow directly towards the German troops. During the battle, of the six German panzer, four were lost, due to following four weapons; Russian artillery; anti-tank-rifle; Dug-In T-70; Anti-Tank-Gun (and one Recalled due to disabled MA). The two Russian light artillery did great today (pulled 9 black out of 10 black chits), and took credit for slowing down the Germans and inflicting additional casualties. Still, the might of the German attacking formation of combined arms could not be stopped, only contained.

In the factory complex, the Germans grind their way forward and combat the Militia factory soldiers that contain their assault, but at a cost of high losses inflicted upon them. At the Chemist Shop building, repeated attempts to assault the building and the area next to the Volga fails. The situation seems to become another stalemate until, the StuG IIIB panzer start going on a rampage and scoring several direct hits that breaks the backbone of the Russians defending the area next to the Volga river. German foot soldiers seize the opportunity in mopping up the Russian defenders from their positions. The Chemist Shop will now be more under pressure from the German newly gained ground outside the important building. The next day is an idle day and both sides rest, and bring in more reinforcements.

The sound of Stuka dive bombers appear and attack into the roofless factory halls and unleash their deadly cargo and disintegrate scores of Russians soldiers within minutes. To make matter worse, a German spotter plane start to direct several Heavy artillery mission and the destructive force cause much more carnage of casualties upon the Russians. The Chemist Shop is yet again under German Assault. The spotter plane arrives and bomb the building with one fire mission of Heavy Artillery, but cause few casualties upon the fortifoed building filled up mostly with Guards Rifle squads. Thereafter, the Germans put pressure on the defender of the building, but cancel the attack, when a Russian Btln MTR Artillery deliver numerous direct hits among the Germans in the wooden buildings and rubble. In the western sector along the railway embankments. The German attack with artillery support (80+mm) and captured two buildings, that the Russians have either abandoned or started to retreat from, when attacked in force.

21 SWs (HMG, MMG, 5 LMG, 6 ATR, 4 Lt MTR, FT, 3 DC).

AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): Another day of attrition as the Germans launch their attack along the whole front line. At the railway embankments area the assault force the Russians to retreat 200m, and they gained control of more terrain and buildings. In the factory complex, a brutal see-saw battle in the factory halls broke out, and eventually the Germans penetrated 50-100m deeper into the halls. In the Volga sector area, an early attempt to assault the Chemist Shop failed, and the Russian counterattacked out of the building and routed the Germans from the building. The next day, the frontline will open up along the entire length of the railway embankment. The Red October factories (south of the Red Barricades) will be assaulted in force, hopefully this new possible approach of attack will stretch the front line for the defenders, and might crack the spirit of the Russians morale.

AFTERMATH (8 Game Turns): The Russian's defensive positions have been stretched out, and hopefully the line can be held in decent shape.

Totally clear out one factory hall and get a hard grip on the largest hall. Several buildings east of the railway embankments, fall into German hands during the battle as the Russians are routed or eliminated.

AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): The Germans started today's battle with calling in two artillery modules of Battalion MTR 80+mm. Several artillery strikes in the factory halls cause several casualties and break up whole defensive formations that the German foot soldiers are quick to exploit. After many days of vicious battle, the largest factory hall has fallen and is now in complete German control. Another factory 500m south have also fallen to the German assault. The Chemist Shop is subjected to a new attack by the Germans. They have brought forward a battery of INF guns that with accurate firing (they know every window and vision slits by now) cause havoc among the Russian defenders of the fortified building. Finally, the building is successfully stormed by the German troops, all Russians have been exterminated except for a Ldr and a squad. That escaped via sewer movement and spent the rest of the day in the sewer system. In the Bread Factory area, the Russian launch an attack to reclaim wooden buildings/rubble west of the railway embankments. The few Germans unit in the area try to retreat, but too late and are trapped and eliminated. The Russians push on with the attack even harder northwards along the tracks, but several Stukas appear and destroyed 20 Russian soldiers, and halt the progress.

AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): A dual attack occurs in the factory complex and Volga area, the Russians hammer the German positions with two artillery modules, mostly in the area between the Volga and the largest factory hall and HMG fired upon the Germans. The Germans start to retreat from their forward positions or eleminated and lose ground to the Russian assault, that suffer heavy casualties but continue to grind their way forward. Yet again the Stukas act as work horses and punish reckless movement, but the Russians are too many and make progress anyhow and manage to capture and spike German Infantry Guns. In the Bread Factory area, the Germans launch an attack and call in a Neblwerfer Rocket strike that cause havoc and set the whole blast area on fire. The Germans encounter the wire-line and a panzer grind and flatten one wire section, while a Sturm squad blown up another wire section to bits with a placed DC. The Russians are shocked by the relentless pressure and try everything to halt and slow down the German assault, but are eliminated in the same pace as the fire spreads in the bakery buildings. A costly affair suffered by both sides today, although the Germans are very satisfied with the terrain taken in the Bread factory area.
