Here is a Stalingrad 42 question

[Rev Rico]

Speaking on historical info, one other item I picked up in a couple of recent books I read. Most importantly to the German capabilities here is that they had a severe fule shortage in and around the city even before the attack happened, greatly limiting their mobility, and that was one of the causes of v Paulus' limited response to the attacks, along with his orders to hold tight. It took a significant part of the army fuel supplies to send just one panzer division off to the west to try and stabilize the front - there was not enough fuel to send all 3 far to the west, or to strike north and then come back to the far south either.

It is tough to replicate this in the game without using explicit supply, and for such a huge, long battle that would be hard to get right also.

Yes, I read the same thing preparing to play the game. It seemed unusual that I'm able to mass 4 mobile divisions to counterattack and use another 3 to delay out west in the initial days of URANUS. I wonder if starting LOW FUEL would help a little.
