Overview:

II SS Panzer corps planned to continue its attack towards Prokhorovka on the morning of 12 July. The Soviets had something else in mind, launching numerous attacks against the Germans, preventing them from getting an attack going. The 2nd Tank Corps had been severely depleted and withdrawn, but its remnants were put into the line between the 29th and 2nd Guards Tank Corps for the attack. Elements of the 3rd Company, SS Panzerjaeger Battalion I were the first to spot the enemy. They saw tanks rolling towards the adjacent 2nd SS Division’s positions; moments later Russian artillery was falling on the 2nd SS positions. A German reconnaissance aircraft dropped a signal to the 1st SS troopers that more Russian tanks were approaching, but heading towards their positions.
Attacker: Russian (169th Tank Brigade, 2nd Tank Corps)
Defender: German (SS) (SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 1, SS Panzergrenadier Division 1)

2022-02-07(A) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist Russian winFun game as the Russians but I'm not so sure the scenario is as fun playing as the Germans. Probably a little too static for my taste.
2021-11-18(A) Ian Morris vs Andy Bagley Russian win
2021-11-18(D) Andy Bagley vs Ian Ainsworth Russian winThis started badly for me with a long-range ATR shot knocking out my hull down Marder with a 'snakeyes'. The Russian tanks then swarmed two other Marders on my left flank, knocking out both of them for the loss of just one T34 immobilised. What should have then been an easy win was made more difficult for the Russians by the spirited defence of my AT Gun, which accounted for a couple of T34 and broke several infantry squads before the crew finally repelled a 4:1 attack in CC. It couldn't last however; T34s got round the back of the village and the Germans had virtually nothing left by Turn 5, when I resigned.
2021-03-28(A) Paul Works vs Nathan Wegener Russian winAlways a fun game with Nathan!! As he points out, we both jacked the board configuration - we used the full board lengths (by the time we saw it, it we were 2/3 through the scenario). Not sure whether this helped or hurt either side. We both had crazy game play events: unlikely, low-odds hits, a tank that drove into a single-story house and rubbling it (but not killing the German squad therein - see the rules on that one!); Nathan ESB-failing one his AFVs while pointing away from the fight (oops); and me malf'ing five of my eight tanks' MAs (gack)... He had a chance on the last turn, but I was able to just stop his rush.
2021-03-28(D) nathan wegener vs Paul Works Russian winGreat game - came down to the Germans coming up just short of stealing back buildings in the last half turn. Used "other" balance including playing both full boards.
