July means Kursk!

[Norm]

I am running a Kursk month (75th anniversary) for july, a mix of boardgame, figures and some Lloyd Clark reading - all good.

As scenario 1 gets set up, there is a new intro post looking at the Dark July map / terrain and mention of the rather convoluted start to the lloyd Clark book.

The Kursk Battles Month continues with first scenario, the attack on hill 252.2 has been played and is up. It is a longish post and further posts will be shorter as there will be less to explain.

Thanks all.

Kursk Battles,
The second scenario from the Dark July module, Clear the Ditches has been played and an AAR is up on the blog. This covers a German attack against a long anti-tank ditch that flanked Hill 252.2.

"Kursk, the mostly hotly defended piece of real estate in the Twentieth-Century"!

Another great AAR and a tough nut for the Germans to crack, but then that sums up Kursk really.

Next up in the ongoing Kursk Battles (Lock 'n Load Tactical) - the battle for Oktiabrskii State Farm.

For those that know the system, there is a neat special scenario rule that only allows units to enter a fortified building to melee with enemy ..... if the remaining defenders are all shaken. It certainly changes the criteria for taking buildings and impacts significantly on play and game tension.
