RE: Here is a Stalingrad 42 question
It is fascinating how different players view the same strategic situations. I read many accounts of the battle and helped play test accordingly, so I am struck by this thread. I never thought that the Axis would dare move out of the trench line and attack to the north, because my Soviet attack from the south was hard enough to stop. Any thinning of the Axis forces needed to stop the southern pincer would only lead to enveloping Stalingrad from the south (I was shuttling PzDs to the south and north for bare survival).
When I have some time I would like to play an Axis player who adopts such a strategy, because I think as the Soviet I can run over the southern flank handily if the Axis player gets too adventurous in the north.
