1212_02: Plugging the Dyke (H2H) - PzC 15 Stalingrad '42

Chir River, 140 kms W of Stalingrad, Dec 12, 1942: The 11th Panzer Division was ordered into the Don Bend in order to assist the drive to relieve Stalingrad from the south, which began on December 10. The orders were to launch a flanking attack from Nizhne Chirskaya, approximately 60 kms from the trapped 6th army forces at Marinovka, to support the forces driving up from Kotel'nikovskiy and thus take pressure off the relief force. However, while preparing to move into position for this attack, the Russian army struck first, across the Chir River in two locations. Ultimately the mission to assist the Stalingrad relief effort faded away due to a series of Russian offensives across the Chir. [Size, medium]
*Edited by Mr Grumpy for H2H balance, I recommend the default rules (minus programmed weather) + recon spotting should be used,you should read the word document with the scenario files*

*After the Gold update this scenario is now included in the titles by default*
