Story
Date: 6th October 1942
Location: Apartment block in the Upper Settlement of the Tractor Factory
German unit: 389.Inf.Div, LI Armee Korps
Soviet Unit: 114 Guards Rifle Regiment, 37 Guards Rifle Division
Background: As 6th Army worked to clear the approaches to the factories, the tanks of 24.Pz.Div. had stalled as they entered the more built-up sections of the city, so 389.Inf.Div. fed past on their left to start clearing out the well-built apartment blocks. Once again, Soviet resistance hardened in front of the Germans.
Situation: 389.Inf.Div. moved in to start clearing out the next modern apartment block, heavily-built 2-storey buildings, with the complex straddling the Zhitomirsk Balka (Gully). The Guardsmen of 114 Guards Rifle Regiment were paratroopers, converted to ground infantry, highly motivated, elite troops. They had little time to prepare the defenses, but they were prepared to make the Germans pay.
Real life end result: It took the Germans 4-5 days of hard fighting to clear the area and consolidate the gains against the highly-decorated Guardsmen, who would go on to further frustrate the Germans.
Notes: As a shocker to most people, the area does actually exist, even today. The map started life as a "port forward" of the old RO1 favorite map - "Danzig". By chance, aerial recon photos showed an area that almost exactly mirrored the layout of the original map, just mirrored. Much to everyone's surprise, the apartments were rebuilt and most of them are still there today, along Opolchenskaya ul. At the time of the battle, there was actually a gully through there - just no bridges (as far as aerial recon photos show)!
Objectives
TE Attackers: Allies
CD Attackers: Allies
TE 16 Player
Objective A: Capture the Gully. The area is on the far side and inbetween the two bridges (from the attackers perspective).
Objective B: Capture the Propaganda House. The capture area is the entire inside for the building (not including the basement).
Objective C: Capture the Potapova Park. The capture area includes the entire outside area including the ruined buildings.
TE 32 and 64 Player

While Objective A and B are not both captured, they can be recaptured by the other team. When both are captured, they will lock and Objective's C and D will open.
Objectives B: Capture the West Bridge. The area is on the far side of the west bridge (from the attackers perspective), and includes all external areas and part of the internal areas of the buildings touching the outside objective space. While Objective A and B are not both captured, they can be recaptured by the other team. When both are captured by the attackers, they will lock and Objective's C and D will open.
Objective C: Capture the Propaganda House. The capture area is the entire inside for the building (not including the basement). While Objective C and D are not both captured, they can be recaptured by the other team. When both are captured by the attackers, the map will end.
Objective D: Capture the Potapova Park. The capture area includes the entire outside area including the ruined buildings. While Objective C and D are not both captured, they can be recaptured by the other team. When both are captured by the attackers, the map will end.
