Well it's the Kursk campaign so there had to be Tiger tanks...
In Prokhorovka itself the Red Army prepares to spring its trap... Many, many T34s.
Supported by infantry and artillery- figures and tanks are from a host of manufacturers (1:72 scale)
Zvezda howitzers!
Italeri Zis3s lie in wait for Panzer Grenadiers
Casualties quickly mount
The armoured spear point advances to their rescue.
Apparently the Soviet commander is unconcerned about surrendering initiative to the enemy. He waits; aiming to destroy them with his pakfront...
... and he succeeds...
In fact, because he is better at rolling dice than teh dastardly old Hun he soon has most of the German army burning on the steppe!
Some Soviet infantry edge forwards to flank beleaguered panzer grenadiers as they crawl from their burning halftracks.
The Germans try to fight back but I think we can all see where this going !
More next time!
Plenty of armour all right!
ReplyDeleteDo I take it from your comments that the rules are 'dice heavy', or are they no more so than any other set?
All the best for 2019,

Hi James - same to you - I hav ebeen a bit busy- hope to do some Napoleonic or 18th century stuff soon! These are aonly the initial waves of armour - there i s more to come! The rules are quite old fashioned but not particularly dice heavy - certainly no more so than anything else I use - 2 dice per artillery exchange - they are good with the young apprentice!
