January, 1943 : Russian try out the SU122 assault gun on the isolated Germans at Stalingrad.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: To win the Soviet must completely occupy two more of the stone buildings initially occupied by the Germans than they lose of their stone buildings to complete German occupation, OR have a favorable 3:1 ratio (Russian/German) of unbroken squads at games end. To be completely occupied in your favor, no enemy squad, crew on foot, or leader (AFVs do not qualify) can be in the building at games end and your forces must have been the last to have occupied any hex of the building with a unbroken unit. The German win by avoiding the Soviet victory conditions.
