1119_01c: Op Uranus (19 Nov - 19 Dec)[HTH]_Alt_Nev (Von Nev S42 Campaign) - PzC 15 Stalingrad '42

Stalingrad, November 19th 1942: Operation Uranus was a well conceived attack by the Russians following the all too familiar pattern of the encirclement battles of the first year of the war on the East Front. The northern prong had two operational areas, Bolshoy and Kletskaya, its goals was to cut through the weaker 3rd Rumanian Army covering the flank and drive to the Don River crossing at Kalach. The southern prong, was launched a day later from the Krasnoarmeysk area, just south of Stalingrad. In addition, there were a couple other attack concentrations further south, but again, these were planned in sectors defended by the less effective Rumanian divisions.

Nevshemal Note: This scenario has been further significantly changed to attempt to get a historical outcome where the German forces can sustain a pocket into January.
