Stalingrad

**Stalingrad** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

As you are aware, High Command has given the green light for Fall Blau though I favoured a more aggressive plan. The rationale behind their new focus on the Caucasus is to deny its valuable oil production to our enemy in the short term and secure it for our future needs.

Your objectives include the Black Sea port of Rostov and the fortress at Sevastopol. To assist you at Sevastopol, the massive 800mm railgun, Schwerer Gustav, has been placed at your disposal. The sheer roar of it will terrify your enemies and the power of its bombardment will reduce any fortification to rubble!

The industrial city of Stalingrad, on the banks of the mighty Volga, must also be occupied. You should expect the fiercest Soviet resistance to take place here. Stalin will surely defend his namesake to the last man!

Once you have secured all of these initial objectives, you should continue your drive to the precious oil production facilities. Only by securing these vital resources will your victory in this operation be absolute.

The sheer amount of ground you must cover means this campaign will last many months, but you must occupy defensible positions before winter sets in.

May a great victory here bring back the spirit of Blitzkrieg for our next battle!

### Decisive victory

The situation in the East is dire, but we have received some good news. The Russian counter-offensive at Kharkov has been utterly smashed by von Mansteins Army Group South! This victory has stabilized the situation, but ultimately resolved nothing.

So now you must drive a new offensive against the Bolshevik menace. At Kursk!

#### If Great Britain wasn't defeated

I would congratulate you, Herr General, but now is not the time for such pleasantries.  In spite of your lightning successes, our… allies have proven to be our undoing.  At Stalingrad, the Third Romanian Army and Italian 8th Army have crumbled like dry leaves against Soviet counter-attack.  The ensuing loss of our Sixth Army is without equal.  Our foothold in the region has been completely annihilated and all that could be salvaged from this debacle were your core forces.

Equally troubling, we have learned that Rommel is being routed from Africa by the British and their new leader Montgomery. Perhaps we should have allowed you to undertake that campaign after all!  Now is not the time for second guessing.  We must strike back against our enemies harder than ever!

The situations in Africa and the East are dire. We predict that once the British and their American allies have secured Northern Africa, an invasion of Italy is inevitable.  Here in the East we suspect the Russian counter-offensive at Kharkov will be smashed by von Manstein’s Army Group South.  This will stabilize the situation, but ultimately resolve nothing.

So now you have a choice, Herr General. Will you stay in the East, to continue the offensive against the Bolshevik menace, or do you believe your abilities will be better spent defending our, ha, ally in Italy?

Italy

Kursk

### Victory

The situation in the East is dire, but we have received some good news. The Russian counter-offensive at Kharkov has been utterly smashed by von Mansteins Army Group South! This victory has stabilized the situation, but ultimately resolved nothing.

So now you must lead a new offensive against the Bolshevik menace. At Kursk!

### Defeat

The situation in the East is dire, but we have received some good news. The Russian forces at Kharkov have been utterly smashed by von Mansteins Army Group South! This victory has stabilized the situation, but ultimately resolved nothing.

Redeem yourself in my eyes, drive a new offensive forward against the Bolshevik menace at Kursk, and do not fail!
