1119_02: The Uranus Encirclement (19-23 Nov) - PzC 15 Stalingrad '42

Stalingrad, November 19th 1942: The goal of the Soviet Offensive, "Operation Uranus" to encircle the German Sixth Army in Stalingrad with a two ponged attack. The northern prong came from Bolshoy and Kletskaya, and was to cut through the 3rd Rumanian Army covering the northern flank and drive to Kalach on the Don River. The southern prong, from the area of Krasnoarmeysk area, just south of Stalingrad was launched a day later with the goal of cutting through units of the IV Rumanian Corps and drive west and then north to meet at Kalach. [Size, large] Designer's Note: This scenario is a copy of the full campaign shortened to cover the Soviet attack and encirclement of the German Sixth Army. As such the victory levels have been changed to reflect this shorter period. However, reinforcements and other later occurring events have been left in the scenario file so that players enjoying the scenario against the AI or in PBEM using non-encrypted files can extend the length of the game in a text editor.
