Description provided by Rough Swordsman Wargamer on YouTube:
Continuing my playthrough of David Thompson's and DVG's Pavlov's House for those wondering what solo wargaming is all about. This is another fun and very accessible game for those new to this hobby.
As I say in the introduction, mistakes were made (and made they were!) but that's the beauty of solo games - as you're learning the rules nobody is around to notice you get it slightly wrong, so enjoy!

About Pavlov's House, from BoardGameGeek:
In Pavlov's House, you take control of the valiant defenders of a Soviet strongpoint in Stalingrad as they hold out against constant German attacks for almost two months. You also control the key leaders throughout the Soviet 62nd Army that made the defense of Pavlov's House possible.
Object of the Game
The goal of Pavlov's House is to last until the 7th Company, 3rd Battalion, 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment of the 13th Guards Division is tasked with storming a key German strongpoint during the Battle of Stalingrad. In the game, this is depicted by playing through a deck of cards representing elements of the German 6th Army.
Pavlov's House was a fortified apartment building used as a strongpoint by the Soviet 62nd Army during the pivotal Battle of Stalingrad in WW2. Soviet defenders - primarily from the 7th Company, 3rd Battalion, 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment of the 13th Guards Division - held out for almost two months from a constant German assault. The building's name was drawn from Yakov Pavlov, a sergeant who led the initial storm group assault that resulted in the capture of the building from the Germans. The story of Pavlov's House was a key piece of Soviet propaganda and was used as a symbol of the incredible resistance of Soviet forces during the Battle of Stalingrad.
