what to make of Kursk: Burning Tigers?

[Matt W]

Each question answered (or not...) in turn below.

First, this is North Flank and is to be sent to complete the preorders for Citadel.

Not sure about the counters.

South Flank was all SS troops. There will be no SS in North Flank. The units provided will almost certainly permit modelling some South Flank actions later (e.g. GD, etc.). The Germans will permit a much better OOB for 1943. I would expect this to open up some other areas for supplements.

See above for the non-compulsive answer.
