Can anyone direct me to a good scenario to recreate the area around Pavlov's house for the Battle of Stalingrad? Looking for a general view of the area in order to lay out the terrain in and around the house, thanks in advance. |

Goand read the book The Lighthouse of Stalingrad by Iain MacGregor. It's pretty good, although wastes a lots of time with "background to the fight. But it provides the best coverage I have seen of the urban fighting around "the lighthouse". It does an OK, but not great, job of going into how some of the myths of Stalingrad developed due to the need for propaganda. I have a special interest in all this as in 1982 I got to visit there, and met Lt. Ivan Afanasiev, who was actually in charge in that building. He got the Hero of the Soviet Union for it, but a newspaper article on Pavlov proved got popular his name was associated with the structure. |

This may be of use – the Advanced Squad Leader Historical Campaign game called Valour of the Guards (VotG) has the actual map of the area and a scenario for Pavlov's House link |
