RE: Burning Tigers - zaarin7 - 09-07-2014
I finally got the chance to look through the box. I noticed the units and leaders are thicker than the other game. And I liked the line across the reduced strength side to difference that.
I just went to add this to my collection here and noticed it's not listed but Liberation 44 that came out after this is?
RE: Burning Tigers - Matt W - 09-07-2014
Burning Tigers was actually released well after Liberation 44.
RE: Burning Tigers - Hugmenot - 09-07-2014
Liberation counters, at least the first batch, includes even thicker counters than Burning Tigers (1/8" vs 1/10").
RE: Burning Tigers - zaarin7 - 09-07-2014
I was looking at my counters and found what I believe to be a glaring omission. Where is the Su-152?

I could be wrong but I think they were used more in the counter-offensive after July 13th, which is far in date as either South Flank or Burning Tigers go.
RE: Burning Tigers - zaarin7 - 09-08-2014
According to Glantz and House in "The Battle of Kursk" there were 9 regiments of SU-152's in the operational area on 7/1/43.
RE: Burning Tigers - Matt W - 09-08-2014
I don't have it in front of me but look for a JSU-152.
RE: Burning Tigers - zaarin7 - 09-11-2014
That is in Road to Berlin. The JSU (or ISU) 122/152 were more than a year after Kursk.
RE: Burning Tigers - Matt W - 09-12-2014
Sorry, I thought you meant that you couldn't find the counter in the set, not that it should have been there. Which units were the SU-152s assigned to?
RE: Burning Tigers - zaarin7 - 09-13-2014
This is from "The Battle of Kursk," Glantz & House, University of Kansas Press, 1999, pgs 290-335.
The Orel Axis
Western Front
50th Army
1536th Self-propelled Artillery Regiment (152mm) [There all titled that way so for the rest just giving unit numbers.]
11th Guards Army
1453rd
Briansk Front
1444th
1445th
1535th
3rd Army
1538th
The Orel-Kursk Axis
Central Front
1541st
13th Army
1442nd
48th Army
1540th
The Belgorod-Oboian'-Kursk Axis
Voronezh Front
7th Guards Army
24th Guards Rifle Corps
1529th "(from RVK in July)" [Appears twice under this Front so not clear when fought.]
In Reserves so probably not part of the first phase fighting.
1831st
1st Guards
1545th [Does not give vehicle type so might not be one.]
1829th [Has "Heavy..." in front of the designation.]
Though these are titled "Regiments" in fact they were more like large companies or small battalions.
