Overview:

By the 10th of July, Hausser's II SS Panzer Corps had penetrated the Voronezh front northward almost to Prokhorovka. With each defensive line breached, however, the SS Panzergrenadiers would barely find themselves able to regroup before assaulting the next. Yet Vatutin needed every pillbox, mine, and foxhole to slow the German advance in order to give Rotmistrov's 5th Guards Tank Army a chance to assemble east of the town. The Oktyabrskii State Farm and Hill 252.2 were the last Russian strongpoints in Hausser' s way, and on the morning of the 11th his armored columns assaulted out of the ripening grainfields. Scenario 2 of 3 for Broadway to Prokhorovka Mini-CG.
Attacker: German (SS) (2nd SS Panzergrenadier Regiment/Armor and Assault Engineer Support)
Defender: Russian (3rd Battalion, 26th Guards Airborne Regiment/Artillery Support/57th Heavy Tank Regiment)

2023-11-02(A) Pascal Boileau vs Samuel Macari Russian winA very good scenario. A flawed attack from the German troops and quickly the Russian took the upper hand. I conceded just before the last turn. At least, I've learned something... Nice defense Samuel !
