State Bank (HASL VotG04 conversion) - Red Victory

CENTRAL CITY, STALINGRAD, RUSSIA, 14 SEPT 1942. The Germans have been pushing hard during the day, trying to reach the Volga. Control of the Soviet State Bank has see-sawed back and forth, but the Germans were finally able to capture the burnt out building at 18:00. As daylight fades, the victorious Germans realize that they have been oblivious to the fight going on around them; the State Bank now sits behind enemy lines! The Germans do not like to fight at night; but they have no choice. As the Russian player, prepare to mount yet another attack on the Bank and crush the German defenses before any relief force has time to reach the Bank. If the Bank is captured you must hold out as long as possible; every yard gained is another yard the Germans must re-take tomorrow. Za Stalina! DESIGN NOTE: Some German units start at less than 100% effectiveness; this represents fatigued & wounded soldiers.
