Kotel'nikovo, 180kms SW of Stalingrad, Dec 12th 1942: Operation Winter Storm was quite predictable, as far as the direction from whence it would come. Zhukov had predicted a two-pronged attack from the Chir and Kotel'nikovo areas, however, the Soviet 5th Tank Army was attacking along the Chir which ruled it out as a start line. The German LVII Pz Korps was quite weak, but was given the 6.Pz Div which had been refitted in France. Also the 17.Pz Div was due to join the Korps, but was held up for four days. Initially the fighting went well for the Germans but gradually the attack lost steam, and was all but over 10 days later when Manstein ordered a general withdrawal. [Size, large]

The Axis need to push on in this scenario but can't afford to leave Russians behind their lines. Because if they do these can become an agressive nuisance which they will later have to deal and in so doing it will weaken there main attack towards Stalingrad.
