CENTRAL CITY, STALINGRAD, RUSSIA, 14 SEPT 1942.
The Germans made their big push to reach the Volga on the 14th
of September. In response, the Russians sped up their timetable to
bring reinforcements across the river. The 13th Guards Rifle Division
was ordered to cross immediately, even though thousands of soldiers
were without rifles.
As evening fell across the city, the Germans made one last attempt
to secure key structures. Two in particular were the Brewery
& State Bank. The stout structures had a clear view of the Volga
from their top floors - during daylight, German MG's could rain
down bullets on the ships trying to cross. Knowing the importance
of the two buildings, Russian commander Chuikov threw the men
of the 13th Guards straight into the line as they disembarked
from the ferries. The line held - just barely. NOTE: The German will
get VPs from capturing the 6 building hexes on map, as well as exiting
units off the map. Use optional rule Variable Ending.
