Last year I started playing the series of games, Fighting the Great Patriotic War one battle at a time, written by Andrew Rolph and published by Miniature Wargames, and I posted a few BatReps of the early games.
I did complete the games earlier this year but was unable to do the Battle Reports at the time.
I am pleased to say the reports for the last 2 games are now up on my Blog.
Part 5 - To The Next River
Background
It's early in 1943 on the Eastern Front and, in their counter-offensive, the Soviets are becoming adept at river crossings. They would try to end the current offensive with a bridgehead over the next river so the the next stage of the offensive would start from a bridgehead instead of with a river crossing.
The Germans learnt to counterattack immediately, with whatever they had to hand, to eliminate such bridgeheads.

Part 6 - Prelude To Kursk
Background
It's May 1943 on the Eastern Front and both Hitler and Stalin wanted to continue offensives around Kursk. Stalin had been persuaded to absorb the initial German attacks and use the rebuilt Tank and Mechanised Corps in counter-attacks once the Germans had been ground to a halt against the Soviet defences.
In this battle, the Germans are trying to straighten out the front line by penetrating a small salient.
