Kursk Scenario Hill 252.2

We played a Battlegroup Kursk scenario straight from this Book.  I was on the soviet side with Livy and Sparky.  I suggested an attack based on the battle of Leuctra, Livy would attack on the German right up a railway track, Sparky push in the centre and I would hold back on our right.  We had two katushka strikes which we aimed on the anti tank ditch in front of Livy's attack and heavily defended = TARGET RICH, they would arrive on turn one , then turn two.

village in the centre

Panzer IVs ready to repell the Red Horde

AT gun ready to stop LIVY

David Ps German infantry, this single guy destroyed a squad on his own

AT Ditch, this infantry were deployed in fox holes

Ariel spotter but we had no artillery!

One of four TIGERS

FLAK Gun

Sparky loses a T-34

Burning TIGERS!

Livy roared down the right flank, the First Katshka strike pinned a lot of Germans, the second knocked out or pinned six units including one tiger, livy finished off the second with close range T-34 fire(double6 for penertration)

T-34s ramming Tigers

Ironically the Germans couldnt hit these tanks their rolls were so low, the upshot is that in Battlegroup Kursk the German tank crews have no edge. The t-34s can stal, stal right into their faces

Sparky's lead tank in the village

Facing the last Tiger which rolled double 1 on a fire fire order!

This game seemed seriously unbalanced against the Germans,  time for a replay but this time choose our own 1200points.
