I've been working on a slightly homebrewed version of an amalgamated campaign for Red Factories. The campaign starts off normally, and will eventually include Red October, but notably will try to go as long as possible, even though Red Barricades wouldn't normally go that far.
I've been going about it by playing one game turn at a time, all as a solo effort. This is done mainly to save on time, and because committing so much time to this would be hard to organize/coordinate without another person for the length of time I assume this will go.
Lastly, this is all reposted from a different website that I am posting videos to, and have started streaming my endeavors for fun. Also because that's the hip thing all the cool kids do these days. I will try to keep this thread updated as things move along. Apologies for making any errors, I'm far from a very experienced player, and I think we've all been on the side of forgetfulness at times.
October 17th, 1942
Day 1, Part 1
The story so far:
The Germans are unable to gain a lot of ground, but losses are nil (especially due to an error on my part vis-a-vis LOS checks on debris hexes). The Russians, however, aren't so lucky, and quickly lose three squads to murderous fire. The Germans also manage to capture a militia squad, but I forget to roll for interrogation.
Losses
Germans
Russians
Militia Company A (2 squads - 4 CVP)
SMG Company A (1 squad - 2 CVP)
Victory Conditions
Germans control 0 of 15 Stone Locations required to win.
State of the board at the end of Part 1
State of MAP control at the end of Part 1 [Colourized]
What actually happened that day? (According to Stalingrad Battle Atlas, Vol II - by Anton Joly)
Weather: Partly Cloudy, Cold.
Germans capture the southern portion (completing their control) of the Red Barricades factory. 300 to 400 prisoners were captured, as well as equipment. A directive by Hitler instructs the Army to begin preparations for a defensive line in the coming months.
Since September 13 (the beginning of the offensive on Stalingrad), the Germans report that they have captured 18000 prisoners, destroyed or immobilized 233 tanks, and captured or destroyed 302 guns. Another 5600 prisoners, 616 tanks destroyed, and 87 guns destroyed/captured further north of the city. 670 enemy planes were shot down over Stalingrad, with AA artillery and ground troops claiming an additional 88 planes.
German losses so far have been 2500 dead, 10300 wounded, and 300 missing. Numbers for planes and tanks are not present.
German losses for October 16th, 1942 in Stalingrad are reported as: 299 wounded, 61 killed, 21 missing.
---Do keep in mind that these numbers are not complete, as some data was lost in the intervening years, and accurate counts are difficult to ascertain in the best of conditions. The nature of the fighting at Stalingrad also made it hard for the Russians, especially, to keep accurate numbers on losses. That, or they are not yet documented and have not been mentioned in the Atlas for this particular day.
