  1. If you want to see another German made movie about Stalingrad, search for "Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?"

    "Stalingrad" itself is good, but it depends on the individual taste of every different one.

    Karl Vilsmayers intention was to provoke discussions, therefore this movie has pathetic or comradeship glorification, but also very realistic parts. It is more a play around some main characters (the leutnant, Schäfer,...). I do not know yet, if and what sources were used.

    This film uses every aspect of war on the eastern front (assault, attrition, sewer, death, POWs, massaker on civilians,...). The part with the captured russian Tanya seems more unbelievable.

  2. I am playing it also, but am using a very careful approach because of the fog. Whenever I will encounter mounting resistance there on one point I want to have as much firepower in the shortest possible time to pull out own pinned troops. The woods are scary, after every tree in this fog there may be the blairwitch. :eek:

  3. The "Assault" command is just like the "Advance" command, it only boosts up morale of the assaulting unit a liitle bit more and it slows down the movement and causes more fatigue. I use it only at close quarters against pinned enemy units, maybe one to six times a scenario. I seldom use it in rural areas, because the chance of getting pinned in the open is too high. When in a firefight against single units at close quarters (for example in a building) I order this unit in the next turn to assaul and to close range, thus creating hand-to-hand-combat with beefed up morale. In night scenarios the risk is too high of getting pinned by friendly fire.
