Overview:

After making some gains on 11 July, the Germans were poised to strike again on 12 July. The 1st SS Panzergrenadier Division was only two kilometers from Prokhorovka. Meanwhile, the 5th Tank Army commander had planned a counterstrike with a mass formation of tanks to blunt the German advance. The tanks were reinforced with infantry formations, which included elements of the 9th Guards Airborne Division. In the area near Hill 252, the 2nd Battalion, 2nd SS Panzergrenadier Regiment hastily dug in several hundred meters in front of an antitank ditch. Battalion II, SS Panzer Regiment 1 was the forward tank company and just behind the infantry. Several antitank guns and SPW comprised this defense and a Marder covered the right flank. The artillery and tanks were positioned just to the rear of the antitank ditch, prepared to attack forward on the morning.
Attacker: Russian (31st Tank Brigade, 29th Tank Corps)
Defender: German (SS) (SS Panzergrenadier Division 1)

2024-08-22(A) Rob MacGinley vs Jason Nichols German (SS) winA tough ask but I was really enjoting death by numbers
2024-07-04(D) Jason Nichols vs Rob MacGinley German (SS) winA massive tank melee that I think is very difficult for the Soviet player. I put my Tigers on the hills and basically just picked off the Soviet tanks with impunity. My infantry suffered due to my forward defence and I didn't really take advantage of the OBA or air support. The tanks were sufficient to do the job.
2017-12-12(D) Tom Kearney vs Al Saltzman German (SS) winCrucible of Steel linked, final battle...wow!
2016-12-19(A) Richard Carter vs Dave Clemons German (SS) winI lost this one badly as the Russian, but I really don't see the appeal. We just ran down a gauntlet and hoped we wouldn't get destroyed. Well in this case we did. I just don't see the tactics or strategy in this one. There are too many counters and too much to do and not really a lot of options in my mind. But perhaps I'm missing something.
2015-06-25(A) Kermit Mullins vs Jim Ferrell German (SS) winAllen King and I took on Jim Ferrell at the 2015 Texas Team Tournament. After 3 turns, the Russians conceded victory to the Germans.
