THIRD REICH INVADES STALINGRAD
August 23rd, 1942, the German Third Reich invades Stalingrad, the city named after Premier Stalin himself. More than that, the railways inside the city are an important source of oil. Neither side can back down, this city is important to the war effort of the entire war for both sides. Losing Stalingrad, means losing the war.
Wilkommen, or Dobro pažálovat'. This is a PT, RP war scenario of the Battle of Stalingrad. This is also technically an alternative timeline, since this time, it is possible for Germany to win the battle. Now, there will be a lot of mechanics, and a good majority of them will slowly be introduced into the game as they become available. But as a quick piece of advice, make sure you’re warm during the winter part of the campaign.
Now, I am the overall OP of this thread and HIGHCOM, or High Command, for the Soviet Union. The Neu Deutsches Vaterland will be a co-OP, and HIGHCOM for Germany. So some explanation is due. NDV and I will be overall commanders for both sides. We will control the forces not controlled by a PC, direct random events, and just direct the entire pace of the campaign. Everyone who signs up is at first a Company Commander, and will slowly promote and gain access to larger units over time.
Germans start off to the West, or the Northern part of the map. The Soviet Union controls the majority of the map at first, but Germany starts out the battle with more soldiers, and a larger advantage. There will be random events, such as snow storms, heavy waves on the Volga, etc. There is a Terrain Map, and a Tactical Map (Forgive the bad quality of the Tac Map). The terrain map will show you what the overall terrain of each zone is. THIS WILL COME INTO PLAY DURING BATTLES. The tactical map will show you who controls which zones, and which zones are currently in conflict.
Your unit starts near either the dock for the Russians, or the farmland off to the west for the Germans. You will receive your IC orders, as well as promotion and other RP things, from your HIGHCOM. You will then move your men to the location where you are needed, and order how the battle will be fought. Afterwards, I will message you how the battle turns out, and PC’s will RP what happens. YOUR COMPANY CAN BE KILLED. This is important, your Company Commander and company ARE killable. Should your CC die, you will have to make another one. If your company dies, you will get to choose another company, but will lose all veterancy with it, etc. We will update different statistics on your company and CC over time.
