CC#10 - Stalingrad - German Campaign (from Darek's PG2 archives)

Post by panzerdarek » 2023-03-01 21:05, Wednesday

Darek's CC#10 at 100%
Stalingrad - German campaign (Jorge Gabitto), with CN efile, PG2UK 1.02G exe, completed in October'2002

I start quickly but don’t expect too much free time for playing in near future and probably from that reason this may be a long-time challenge for me. Of course I want to complete it anyway and will promise persistent battle to the end.

1. Case Blue

Both objectives were captured in turn 9. Southern group attacked along the river north and later turned west directing unnamed city with VH on the river. Northern group crossed the river at north and then went primarily east and south attacking second VH from north direction.
I found units with horse-cart transports extremely useless in this terrain. Quick upgrade is necessary.

Result: BV (-1 turn) – proto: Nashorn
Core lost: None

My core goes to the next scenario: :tiger
Current scenario: Voronezh (#2a); VH prestige is 400; All hex prestige is 560
Total army value 0 Current prestige is 630

2. Voronezh

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: All horse-carts to trucks, 2x Infanterie to Grenadier + Sturmpioniere.

I got BV in my first attempt to play this scenario couple of weeks ago – but not this time.
Hard battle not comparable to the first scenario. Luckily I didn’t lose any core unit but many of auxiliaries died. All VHs were captured at the same game turn 14 (missed BV by 2 turns).

Result: V
Core lost: None.

3. Donbas

Purchased: 2x Fallschirmjaeger (during scenario).
Upgraded: PzIIIJ2 to PzIVF2, 7.5cm ATY to 15 sFH18.

I’m back on the battlefield after long break and finally completed initial part of challenge.
It wasn’t easy piece for me. I did it in second attempt – got BV but lost stupidly two newly purchased paratrooper units in their Ju-52 transports. I sent them nearly to easternmost VH without reconnaissance and two Yak fighters killed both after softening by Russian AD gun. I should be a little smarter in the future after this lesson.

Result: BV
Core lost: 2x Fallschirmjaeger

4. Don River

Purchased: 2x Pz IIIL, Grenadier (truck).
Upgraded: Bruckenpioniere to Sturmpioniere.

I was a little disappointed not having Tiger proto and finally did couple of purchases. I bought two cheap tanks (hoping that they survive and gain some experience before later become scaring Tiger beasts) and expanded my infantry contingent.
At the beginning I deployed PzIV tanks with Nashorn and DF Sturmpioniere at north – excepting hard battle there (I was aware by other players reports). The rest of my army was placed at south.
It was surely hardest battle for me so far. In my first attempt – trying to get BV – I got my ass kicked instead and must resign when lost four or five core units. Playing second time I was more cautious and kept my advancing forces split only in two main groups. Off course this tactic needs much more time to capture all objectives and I got only TV but didn’t lose any core.
In addition my Stuka won very useful for plane Aggressive Manouver and newly upgraded Sturmpioniere Reconnaissance Movement. Looks like I must downgraded it to Fallschirm (but my paratroopers are usual short living). Why only infantry and planes got leaders?

Result: TV
Core lost: None.

5. Early Assault

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: 10.5 leFH18 to 17 K18, 2x Grenadier to Sturmpioniere, Sturmpioniere to Fallschirmjaeger.

I don’t like very much so massive battles but I captured Stalingrad just in time for BV (sparing 1 turn). Only single supply hex left in Russian hands.
My new RM Fallschrim proved its worth when captured with a little help from Luftwaffe northeastern airfield and a couple of turns later VH near to it. It’s fun to have this guys – first time for me at least.
Next unit, infantry of course, won Alpine Training. It may be quite useful to have this Sturmpioniere in rough terrain or forests.
This victory has two sides for me. The bitter side is losing my core arty. It was smashed in transport by unspotted Russian gun with leader when advanced to close. The sweet side is second proto receiving – the Tiger. Good compensation for losing gun.

Result: BV (-1 turn) – proto: Tiger
Core lost: 15 sFH18.

6. Novorossisk

Guys, I’m quite happy having those six leaders. I was only curious why all of them going only to infantry and airforce departments, but finally that’s out of date. :D

Sold: Pz IIIL.
Purchased: 17 K18 (truck), PSW-231, SdKfz 6/2.
Upgraded: Pz IIIL to Pz IVF2, Grenadier to Sturmpioniere.

After rewarding by prototype Tiger I sold inexperienced Pz III – four core tanks should be enough. I did couple of additional purchases too and now it should be the final size of my army – I think.
It was one of easiest scenarios for me. Many mountain auxiliaries and my Alpine Sturmpioniere helped a lot. First appearance of Tiger was very good too – it got Shock Tactics leader. The last captured VH was the southernmost fort at the seashore.

Result: BV

7. Astrakhan

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: None.

I didn’t change winning team, only OS some units.
It was rather easy scenario. My Fallschirm captured quickly southeastern VH alone, without any troubles. Main forces advanced slower but continuously and took the rest of objectives. The last one was northeastern VH, where my Alpine Sturmpioniere, that flanked it going easily in truck across big mountains, did very good job – almost like Rec Mov Fallshirm earlier.
I lost my new recon during this scenario after double attack of T-34 and KV-1 – but one of my arties got nice CS leader.

Result: BV
Core lost: PSW-231.

8. Caucasus Counterattack

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: Pz IVF2 to Tiger (before Choice 3).

Not very hard scenario for my army – it was race against the time. As I excepted two southernmost oilfield VHs were most difficult to reach. One of them, southeastern, was captured easy with my Fallschirm, but another one need traditional approach and I took it luckily at the last moment to get BV. Got very nice proto for that effort.

Result: BV – proto: Panther A.
Core lost: None.

It was nice and easy final scenario. End of first leg.
Surely I will miss my Fallschirm playing second leg of CC.

4. The Approach

Purchased: None.
Upgraded: Bruckenpioniere to Sturmpioniere, 10.5 leFH18 to 17 K18.

The second – historical path started and I expect that it should be more difficult task for my army. I still was able to take last turn BV but it cost me many of dead auxiliaries and some of my core units were close to annihilation too (I must reload to save Nashorn). Newly upgraded Sturmpioniere won First Strike during this battle.
Looks like I need next 17K18 to deal with massive Russian artillery.

Result: BV
Core lost: None.

5. The Assault

Purchased: Grenadier (truck).
Upgraded: Grenadier to Fallschirmjaeger, 15 sFH18 to 17 K18.

I sent my newest Fallschirm together with auxiliary Recon Movement Infanterie with the task of capturing northeastern airfield and later the VH next to it. They completed this job successfully and my unit won useful leader - Infiltration Tactics - during this battle.
Rest of my army battling hard in the city. This attempt to take Stalingrad was more difficult than previously but I still was able to win it on time. I got last turn BV, however capturing less secondary objectives this time. My very busy Stuka was awarded Aggressive Attack and in addition HQ sent good looking Tiger prototype for final tests in my army – just before regular production starts.

Result: BV – proto: Tiger.
Core lost: None.

6. Astrakhan

Purchased: Pz IVF2, SdKfz 6/2.
Upgraded: None.

Back to Astrakhan. This time I got last turn BV and Resilience leader for experienced Pz IVF2, but unfortunately another tank - newly purchased Pz IVF2 - was killed. I should wait for Tiger – it perform good even without many experience. Can survive and gain it quickly.
This time I choose of course historical path in Choice 3 – Operation Uranus.

7. Operation Uranus.

Sold: SdKfz 6/2, Grenadier.
Purchased: None.
Upgraded: 2x Pz IVF2 to Tiger.

I sold two inexperienced units and that allowed upgrading my two experienced tanks and OS couple of units to the max. My army is very compact now – only original core and protos left.
The battle was hard. Russians threw their last reserves. I withdrew my forces in center and attacked at both flanks. Defenders held their positions around central VH successfully and flanking forces advanced slowly but unstoppable. My army killed 73 Russian units (16 tanks) during this battle and my newest Tiger won Determined Defense leader.
Now is time to prepare final assault (looks like every result allow to win the campaign – it’s nice).

Result: BV (-1 turn)
Core lost: None.

Finally I finished this very spanned in time challenge – as a sixth lucky competitor, I think – and hope not as the last one (such like my CC#9).

My impressions

I find most of scenarios in Jorge campaign good designed and very interesting to fight. From other side the whole campaign was not so funny to play as I expected. The reason is short period of time covered by this campaign that not allowed doing interesting changes in core army composition. Big starting core was also the cause that I finished practically not buying any new unit.
I tested playing this CC some new for me aspects, as using Recon Movement Paratrooper unit and Nashorn. I got this AT as proto after first scenario and played with it whole campaign. I never used it before thinking that it’s very vulnerable and weak against artillery, infantry or air attacks (but against 1-range Soviet tanks is performed well).
Indeed – thanks Jorge for very good and polished piece of work.
