Case Blue I scenario?

RE: Case Blue I scenario?
The Kharkov 42 game ends on May 24, 1942. The Stalingrad 42 game starts with a few Don Bend scenarios on July 24, 1942. Allowing for time to reorganize the Axis forces, resupply, repair, etc. I think the only action missing between the game is the pursuit of the defeated Russian forces in early July 1942. Not much of a subject for a PzC game, IMHO.

The suicidal Russian attacks on the "corridor to the Volga" from the north were a very desperate attempt to distract Paulus and 6th Army from simply walking into Stalingrad. The Russian defenses were a shadow of what was needed at the time.

I do not think these uncoordinated, piecemeal attacks would be that much of a game in the PzC sense. A nice historical exercise to illustrate what was happening, but not much more than that as the Germans fended these attacks off pretty easily.

In any case, if this is your "cup of tea" I do not see any reason you could not create a mod to cover this time frame.
