July means Kursk!

[Norm]

Thanks Steve, even though in reality this was a one mapper stretched into  a two map area, the visual trick to the eye was that the tank gun ranges and manoeuvre capabilities seemed more realistic. It was a good opportunity to get another perspective on this system.

Played the final scenario from the lock n' load Dark July supplement, which covers the Kursk battles.

This scenario moves to the northern shoulder and the interesting battle of Ponyri. Know to those that fought there as Little Stalingrad, this scenario covers the fight for the School and Tractor Station.

Thanks Norm for yet another great AAR and this one sounded a really good game, full of loads of action. I like the idea of some unknown/random events, which I might try an incorporate in my BKCII games.

So, what's the plan for the eleven months of the year?

Thanks Steve, the Special Events worked very well, two out of the three made me smile .... through gritted teeth!

Well, I could do Ardennes for December and rest up between now and then :-)

Seriously, I have not done a themed month before, but it provides great focus and made me set a gaming pace that I doubt I would have achieved otherwise and of course my handle on the rule system is now total ..... for now :-)

Really enjoyed your Kursk month, Norm, even if I'm not a big boardgamer these days.

Plenty of ideas and inspiration.
