Into the City - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

Southern Stalingrad: [Best played as Axis] As the dawn broke along the Volga on the 13th of September, the German Sixth Army began its attack into the city of Stalingrad. The 29th Motorized Rifle Division advanced from the south along the riverbank coming under increasing artillery fire from the far shore of the Volga. Gradually, the panzer grenadiers were able to drive nearly 500 enemy soldiers from the 131st Rifle Brigade into a giant grain silo near the southern landing. The concrete tower and its outbuildings were a natural fortress. Fanatical commissars bricked shut the exits and exhorted the Soviet soldiers to fight to the end. When artillery and tank guns failed to reduce the position, the Germans wheeled up heavy howitzers to blast open entrances into the massive structure. As night fell, only 140 survivors were left to surrender.
