Streets of Stalingrad

**Streets of Stalingrad** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

So, General %playername%, you and your men are the reinforcements that have been sent to finally save me from this hell hole?

*Oberst Wagner is surprised by the bitterness of the German General's welcome.*

General Paulus, sir, I'm afraid I don't understand? We just...

Of course you do not understand, Herr Oberst, how could you? You are just the latest set of reinforcements to arrive; you have not been stuck fighting here for months.

I apologize, Herr General. I did not mean to question your abilities. Our assignment here is not to relieve you of...

*General Paulus interrupts Wagner with an angry wave of his hand.*

Your assignment here is the very heart of the problem!

*Oberst Wagner is stunned by the sudden outburst.*

We have bombed this city into oblivion; ruined to the point that it no longer holds any strategic value. We should move on, we should attack elsewhere, but High Command insists on the capture of this city purely for it's name.

And I tell you, the Soviets are equally seized by this insanity. Every day we blast their positions into rubble and dust, but each night they sneak in more reinforcements to man the craters we have blasted across the city.

Your assignment here is an unending escalation! And all for nothing! This is not a city; it is a wasteland!

*General Paulus's eye begins to twitch uncontrollably, and he slumps back in exhaustion.*

General Paulus, let me call our medics for you, to help you rest. I have studied the situation, I can brief General %playername% myself for now.

*General Paulus merely nods in silence. A minute later, a female nurse helps him to leave the room.*

Mein General, it looks like we had better prepare for the worst.

**Primary Objective: Hold at least 8 Victory Hexes at the end of the Battle.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid Pavlov's House.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid the Red October Factory.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid the Tractor Factory.**

If General Paulus himself has been so deeply affected, I can only imagine the state his Sixth Army must be in. With that in mind, we should not expect them to give us any support for this operation.

Their efforts have compressed the Soviets into this pocket in the city's industrial sector...

And also into this pocket, on the southern end of the city.

We could try to focus on reducing one pocket at a time.

But that might lead us open to being counterattacked if we do not protect our positions adequately.

As a final suggestion, if we want to stop the flow of Soviet reinforcements into Stalingrad, we're going to need to take control of this crossing here.

We should expect the toughest urban battle we have ever seen so far, and prepare accordingly.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Victory at Stalingrad...

Who knew it could be possible?

Who knew what it would have cost?

Congratulations on your latest victory, Herr General.

**Historically, the struggle for control of Stalingrad is counted among the most infamous of battles fought during World War II. Months of vicious, close quarters combat defined the battle as Germany and the Soviet Union poured reinforcements into the battle for the city.**

**By mid-November though, Germany would indeed seize control of Stalingrad, but at a terrible cost, and with all of their attention focused there.**

**Completely exhausted by the struggle, the surviving German forces now settled in for the winter...**
