75Pak -> Game Unhistorical In Operation Uranus (9/24/2017 7:00:24 PM)

It is not possible to replicate Operation Uranus as the Soviet player and to have the two pincers meet at Kalatsch by the end of November 22 [end of turn 2]. There is no potential for this to actually happen regardless of what the Soviet player does.

Am I the only one with this problem?

A Romanian infantry "division" of 1500 men and 5 37mm AT guns should not be able to stand up to an assault by 8,000 Soviet infantry and 50 T-34s.

To compound the issue, I end up encircling Stalingrad [pincers meet at Suvorovinko [sp?] and other pincers meet at Kalatsch] around the end of November 26 [end of turn 4].

The Axis bail on Stalingrad around November 30, I catch them in the open just west of Stalingrad [but still encircled] and I cut them all to pieces in the course of two turns.

It was somewhat disappointing how simple it wound up being. I was sort of hoping they would at least try to hold the city, organize a relief effort, supply the city by air, and then wait until the relief effort forces were nearby and then launch a break-out attempt to try to link up with the relief effort.
