Command Ops: Stalingrad Gameplay (UPDATED)
Two more screenshots from a morning run through of my Hubertus scenario.
- The Soviets lost my morning run through with over 2900 casualties including 900+ prisoners. Day 3 of the scenario proved too much for them. The Lazur objective fell as did almost every other major objective to the Germans. I did maintain the secure crossing objective at Crossing 62 (a ferry), the Tractor factory and Spartanovka to the north.
- I have to redo a section of the Volga map. There was a sliver of land across which a Soviet artillery battery crossed in today's scenario.
-Each OOB has about 3-4,000 additional men that need to be added to it (a few divisions are still without sub-units). The majority of units for both armies are in the 50-60% of estab range.
-The LI Armeekorps base unit was a surprise participant in today's German AI attack against the Lazur Chemical factory (pictured above). I think this occured because it is one of the largest forces in either army. I need to adjust this.
- There are 8 shattered Russian divisions (including one Guards division) on the West bank of the Volga.

I won't be posting again until Monday. Until then, I thought I would share some of my gameplay screen grabs from this evening.
I am about half way done with the German OOB and Soviet OOB. I couldn't resist one quick firefight. A quick note, the current scenario now plays at 3 days and 14 hours long.
I love this screenshot. The German AI commander is launching an attack along both sides of Krutoy Gully. |

Reinforcing Red October Factory objective. Russian units pictured are using the Soviet Estab file I created. |
Fight for the Commissar's House. |
The fighting shifts south of the Barrikady towards the Lazur Chemical Factory. The Soviet AI abandoned the bridgeheads to the north to defend the Lazur and Commissar objectives. |
Comments
As for release, I am hoping to have it for you and Doug to playtest by the end of the week. This is the biggest/most complex scenario that I've done, so it has taken longer than I would have hoped.
