require tips when assaulting in a city

[francoisD]

i have just played an assault in stalingrad, and i have faced very heavy losses for my infantry units.

i am asking a few tips too improve my gameplay in such battles.

i used mainly infantry troops supported by lots of scouts snipers, a few tanks, and lots of mortars.

what happens is that the mortars suppress the enemy, but often my infantry troops as well, if i want them to be close enough to the ennemy to shoot

and the main problem is that when i succeed to dig out an enemy unit, it flees in another hex i cannot see, and it rally the next turn, so that i have to restart everything from the beginning the next turn...

i tried to avoid city blocks to advance only in streets right to the victory hexes, but nonetheless my losses were hefty...

any ideas?

thanks!
