New player, what did I get?

RE: New player, what did I get?
That's a great find!


Here are some things that may help you:


For the maps:
Select Library --> Games --> Kurisk: South Flank from the main PG-HQ page and it will display the Kursk: South Flank page.

If you will scroll down a little you will see the 4 maps included in it. If you hover your mouse over a map it will even tell you the map number.

For the Leaders
Select Player Tools --> Impartial Leader Selector.  A page listing all the games and supplements will display.
Click Kursk - South Flank. It will display the Impartial Leader Selector: Kursk - South Flank page 
Click List All KurS Leaders from the ILS Sidebar located on the right, near the top. 
A page listing all the leaders included in the game will display.
You can use the results to help sort out your leaders.

For the Units
I mostly sort my units by nationality so for me it's not an issue.
The countersheets varies a little but in thickness/color by game so you can use the leaders as guide for what is more likely to be included in a game.

I may be able to send you some images via private mail but definitely not until sometimes next week.

For the Rules

Heroes came with second edition rules.
Eastern Front and Beyond Normandy with third edition rules.
Kursk: South Flank was initially released with third edition rules but later shipped with 4th edition rules.

All these games are playable with either third or fourth edition rules. I suggest you download the 4th edition rules and player aids from the URL below if you don't already have them. They're free but you will have to provide a valid email address to receive the download link.

Player Aids

I think the edition number is printed on them. If not, let me know and I will describe them (except for 1st edition which I do not own).

Red Warriors
Red Warriors did indeed come with the Heroes Soviet countersheet.

Suggestion for First Scenario
Click Search -0> Basic Search. It will display the Basic Search page. Select Kursk - South and then click the Search button located at the bottom.

This display the search results page.

The page displays a few basic parameters for each scenario.  You may want to pick a small scenario (say 16 turns or less, 50 or so counters. decent rating).  Something like Scenario #28 - Kliuchi Town may be an excellent choice being a one mapper, 10 turns, 41 counters, and a very good 3.75 rating based upon 8 votes.

Keep in mind ratings are subjective and we all have our preferences. For example, I tend to rate scenarios with over 125 counters a half a point higher than scenarios than less than 50 counters. If you find a player that has similar preferences to you, you can even go to their page and see what other scenarios they liked!
