About Author
Fun and violent scenario (I got a draw) but so far as I know, panzerfausts were not available during the Stalingrad campaign. Thus these weapons should be removed and replaced with demo charges or something similar. Apparently troop trials for panzerfausts did not start until July 1943 (just in time for Kursk, I guess). This was extracted from: Weapons of the Third Reich, by Terry Gander and Peter Chamberlain (1979) Doubleday, NY 371 p. In fact both the panzerfaust and panzerschreck both appeared for troop trials first in 1943 (Small Arms 1914-Present, Martin Dougherty and Michael Haskew, 2013, Metro Books, NY. 384 p.
