STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!

About the Project
Inspired by the Ontabletop.com 'Spring Clean Challenge' I have dusted off my Soviet Army for Bolt Action, which is 'Stalingrad themed'. I have dug out half painted and many still boxed kits and blister packs to start/re-start and hopefully finish the ridiculous amount of Soviet's, German's and Scenery that has been stuck in gamers limbo for years. I particularly look forward to getting a German army up an running to challenge my Soviet's, and to base the elements on real units (such as the 100th Jager Division). I also need to get scenery to theme the board built and finished. No Stalingrad battle (let alone a MEGA BATTLE [which Stalingrad very much was!]) would look right without a mass of smashed grey buildings, and a ruined concrete and brick wasteland. It's ambitious, but I have a LOT of unpainted miniatures and scenery that is crying out to get done, and the end result will (God willing?) be achievable and great fun for my gaming group and I. Like many gamers we all have a favourite battle that we would like to have masses of models and scenery to play with our mates. In those terms. this is my Waterloo (in a gaming bucket list way, rather than my ultimate personal downfall!),

Stalingrad 'Into the Cauldron' Battle Report with the Ministry of Miniatures.
I had a fantastic Game of Bolt Action last weekend with The Ministry of Miniatures. Great to get some of my Stalingrad Collection on the Table Top and have a Game
BA64 "Bobik".
A great fun addition to any Soviet players arsenal in Bolt Action. This ‘Cheeky Scamp’ of a vehicle is cheap and packs a low punch, but is great for putting pins and the odd kill on enemy infantry teams. It is also great for racing up flanks, and breaking through enemy lines to knock out enemy weapons and artillery teams.
German Armour Stalingrad.
This is not an exhaustative collection but where I have got to so far for my “Stalingrad Mega Battle” Project. Please let me know what other Armoured Fighting Vehicles I should be including in the project to comlete it? Suggestions to be backed up by decent images, articles or scholarship please?
