Rattenkrieg

 

Our Stalingrad minicampaign goes on with a meeting engagement between nazis and soviets in an industrial sector of the ruined city

First into the field is Záitsev himself, who gets into ambush...

... and oneshots a german sniper with his trusty mosin nagant

The next soviets to show up are the veterans of the assault section armed with PPSh-41s

Followed by more german reinforcements

Both tanks appear also, but their shots are ineffective given the abundance of cover

Turn 2 begins with a duel between the T-34 and the panzer IV, who both manage to roll a 1 with the antitank gun

Despite this poor showing Záitsev manages to snipe the nazi officer from half the board

The bulk of the russian troops have appeared by now

And the gremans are incinerated by the tank mounted flamethrower

The nazis take cover behind the tank

Precipitating a massed charge of ruskis armed with molotov cocktails

After surviving an antitank shot the T-34 manages to blow p the enemy panzer

And a final charge of the russians seals the game. ¡For the Motherland!
