STALINGRAD ORBATS

FOR IRON CROSS

PUBLISHED 10/10/19

These rules are very much work in progress and we look forward to receiving your feedback on
them. We will be producing a number of publications that focus on specific theatres of World
War II and encompassing new unit rules and scenario conditions.

Assault Troops: Equipped with submachine guns, assault troops benefit from an additional +1 to hit at
ranges up to 6” (15cm). They suffer a -1 to hit at ranges over 12” (30cm).

Body Armour: Troops with body armour always count as in cover against enemy small arms fire from
Infantry Detachments, Snipers and MG’s.

Desant: Infantry Detachments and Support Squads, apart from Anti-tank Guns, may use medium and
heavy vehicles as transport (one unit per vehicle).

Elite: Elite units generate extra command tokens at the start of each turn. Roll a d6 for each command
token generated by elite units (including those for the command unit): each 6 rolled generates an
additional command token.

When taking a CMT, if a ‘5’ is rolled, two morale markers may be removed from an elite unit.

Improvised AT Weapons: These are the same an INFANTRY ANTI-TANK WEAPON (IAW) - see pg
19 of the rule book - but with a range of 4”/10cm.

Light Infantry: A light infantry unit may react on a 2+ instead of a 3+. Morale markers (but not
command tokens) are ignored for this test.

Not One More Inch!: The unit suffers a -1 penalty on all reactions that involve a Fall Back move or any
move that takes the unit further away from enemy troops.

Unmotivated: The unit receives a -1 penalty to the die roll for reactivations. This rule is optional for
troops in specific scenarios.

Weak Firepower: Italian infantry detachments suffered from poor firepower compared to their
contemporary European forces. They only roll one die when firing at infantry or support squads up to 12
away.
 ITALIAN ORBAT STALINGRAD
One unit may be designated as a command unit at no cost. Command units bestow an additional
two command tokens per turn.

Up to half of Infantry Detachments, MG Teams, Mortar Teams and Anti-tank Guns may
purchase transports for the points listed below. Up to half of the infantry detachment may add
improvised AT weapons (weapon value of 6) for +3 pts per unit.

The number of infantry detachments in the force must exceed the number of support squads.
The number of vehicles taken must not exceed the number of Infantry Detachments.

Armour is given as the value for the front followed by the value for the side/rear/top; armour
values are reduced by 1 if the firer is within 6.

*may only be taken if at least three L3/CV35 Light Tanks are also selected.

Up to 1 in 3 CV35 Light Tanks may upgrade its weaponry to a 20mm AT rifle (Weapon Value 4) at
a cost of 6 points.

Improvised AT Weapons: These are the same an INFANTRY ANTI-TANK WEAPON (IAW) - see pg 19
of the rule book - but with a range of 4”/10cm.

Weak Firepower: Italian infantry detachments suffered from poor firepower compared to their
contemporary European forces. They only roll one die when firing at infantry or support squads up to 12
away.

This is a pretty poor orbat by by all accounts. It has no armour that will survive against even the
weakest Soviet anti-tank capability. Similarly, it has very little to damage any Soviet armour and any
access the Italians have to anti-tank capability is highly limited. Definitely an infantry force!

Again, deficincies in armour and anti-tank capability means this is primarily an infantry force.
Most tanks available to the Romanian player are totally outclassed by Soviet armour by this time
