I have been playing Gary T in a Stalingrad PBEM, and I thought it would be cool to play a series of battle for the city. So I found what I think are the best damm Stalingrad maps out there (most by Maruader Mel ;) ). I Numbererd the maps 1-7 (so far) and came up with this. All the battles are to be set as German Assault so the Russian played can buy limited mines and forts..any input would be welcome.
Thanks!

09/ 01*
Stalingrad is burning. The Luftwaffe is bombing the city constantly. In the steppe
some 40km away from Stalingrad, people can read newspapers by the intensive fire
in the city.**
09/02*
At Stalingrad, 6th Army still can't break out. Soviet 62nd Army evades the closing trap.
Josef Stalin sends a message ordering Zhukov to counterattack**
09/03*
The German 6th Army, now united on a wide front, from Rynok to Pitomnik, west of Stalingrad,
begins the direct assault on the city. Zhukov launches a counterattack from the north of Stalingrad,
into 14th Panzer Corps with First Guards Army, but the attack is slow to form, as some units
are not in position at "H" hour, and achieves only a minor advance in some areas.
In Stalingrad, General. Alexander Lopatin, commanding the 62nd Army is fired by Yeremenko.
Lopatin thinks that it is unpossible to hold the city.**

Again the Luftwaffe is bombing the city. Thousands of civilians are killed. Others are escaping
over the Volga river by rescue boats. The Lufwaffe is attacking these boats too.
The Soviet airforce was not capable to stop the murdering attacks of the Luftwaffe.**
09/05*
A new Russian counterattack is unleashed north of Stalingrad. Unable to break through the
German lines, the Russians nevertheless continue to apply pressure in the area for two full weeks,
drawing off German strength from the center of the city.**
09/06*
The German Panzers are losing their mobility when they are entering the city.
They are easy targets for the Russian resistance. For the Germans it seems that what
happened before in Rostov will happen again. Fighting for every street and building.
Panzers are useless in streetfighting.**
09/07*
Hitler is getting nerveous. He declares that the city needs to be taken against September 15th.*

09/15*
The Romanian Third Army reaches the outskirts of Stalingrad. Covering the long left wing of
6thArmy, the Romanians are thinly deployed. The fight for the city on the Volga is now
a house to house slugging match, with the 48th Panzer Corps in between the 62nd and 64th
Armies. Amid the debris of the city, the Russian defenders adopt fast moving, small unit tactics.
The Germans dub the fighting at Stalingrad the "Rattenkrieg" or Rats War.
In the early morning the 13th Guards division is crossing the Volga.**
09/16*
Heavy fighting in the city when 24th Panzer Division "meets" the 13th Guards Army near
Stalingrad station 1 The Germans driving the Soviets out but the Russians recapture it.

Heavy fighting near and in the grain elevator. The Russians won't surrender. But the Red Army
can not hold the building.Germans and Russians are so close to each other that they here each other breathing.
Again, Zhukov launches a counterattack into the northern flank of 6th Army. Positioning his
First Guards Army against the German 8th Infantry Corps, he hopes to break through what
appears to be a weak point in the line. It is actually only a forward position, and the attack
runs headlong into very strong German defenses further back from the initial battle lines.
As in the past, the fruitless attacks serve more to siphon off German
resources that would have otherwise been employed against Chuikov’s men. Thousands
of Soviets are killed in the attacks, which continue for several days.

10/12*
Mindful of the previous winter’s experiences with the weather in Russia, Hitler already
orders the entire Army to take defensive postures, and hold its current positions throughout

Near the Tractor Factory about 200 German panzer breaking through the Russian lines.
2000 Luftwaffe sorties are flown on this day alone, in support of the effort to get the fight

in ferocity.
5000 of the 8000 soldiers of the 37th Russian Brigade were killed in action.*

Some positive changes for the Russians. The Russian aircrafts are now dominating the
night sky over Stalingrad., much to the surprise of the Germans. A new German attack
on the factories is taken place.*
10/22*
The new attack of yesterday is bringing the Germans into the Red October and Barrikady
factories. But Paulus’s operations are eating up his infantry strength at the rate of a division
Every five days. And there are no more replacements for him.*
10/23*
The Germans are holding the tractor factory and most of the Barrikady factory.*
10/24*
The Russians holed up inside the furnaces of the Red October factory, with the
Germans at the other end of the foundry.*

The Germans 100th Division is to attack in the Barrikady area along a railroad embankement.
They are waiting for the Stuka’s to pave the way for them. The Stuka’s are there but their
bombs are falling almost on the Germans. The attack failes. The Germans are capturing the
center of Spartakovka. The 6th Army is nearly reaching the Volga here. But they are pushed
back.*
