RE: The Struggle For A Commission: The Diary
Completed Turn 1 of our PBEM huge epic (against John...Chicago) from Kursk SF yesterday as FOW ended it just before all the Germans had entered.
Its the "Where Have All The Soldiers Gone" scenario. This one scenario in itself seems to me to encapsulate the Kursk battle. It has tons of tanks, Tigers, all types of T34's, masses of PzIIIJ's. 4 battalions of SS, mines, trenches, aircraft and the obligatory human mass of Soviets, RKKA & Guards. Good looking scenario !
Anyway, it kicked off with a fly-past by the Luftwaffe. Two counters worth 22 DF shot up some dug-in mortars on an M2 MC but they all passed ! The Germans have all entered in one area, and casualties to date have been 1 x Soviet 120mm and a German Hanomag (251). The Tigers and some PzIV's pushed forward ahead to attack the enemy and the Reds replied by advancing some infantry towards them. The next turn is where it gets down & dirty.
More on this encounter at the end of turn 2
