RE: Kursk
I suspect that Soviet leader incompatibility is a new concept revived by Mike P. Before then Guard v RKKA incompatibility was only in the Iron Curtain series, though not Iron Curtain itself. Soviet leader incompatibility does not appear to occur in east front games before then. It also seems that German SS v Heer isn't an issue before Liberation '44.
I do however recall an unverified special rule somewhere that Guards could command RKKA units and subordinates, but I don't remember which game.
I wouldn't say it is intentionally left out of South Flank and Burning Tigers, just that the rule evolved into Broken Axis & Grossdeutchland '44.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
