I've only got one PZC game underway right now, and it's a big one. We're on turn 34 of 140 in a "2nd battle of Kharkov". I'm the Germans:

He's putting some serious pressure on me in places, but I've punched a huge hole in his Southern line, and I'm racing to catch him from behind...

One day we'll get it reported! :cheeky:

You're playing havoc with his tanks!! 562 destroyed vehicles... what is his main battle tank, the T-34/41?

Yes, the T-34 is the main battle tank, but there's quite a few T-60's running around (or there used to be :dead: ) and KV-1's as well as armored cars and some 37 mm AA vehicles. So a combination of stuff. Still, my Panzers are making a good showing...and the 1st Panzer Army just rleased so the real show is about to begin... :smoke:

What is the German MBT in Kharkov? This is the only PzC game I don't have.

It's a mix of Pz III & Pz IV's. There's a single unit representing both, so I'm assuming the battalions were made up with a healthy mix of both at this point in the war. Not well read enough on it to comment for sure though.

I am pretty sure even at that part of 1942 -that the MBT was a form of the Pz III with the 50mm gun - I have no idea of the mixture of short barrels to long barreled IIIs - the IVs - iirc did not start getting the long 75... gun until later on in the Fall of 1942. IVG I think --- as well as the IVF -so the MBTs would be fairly similar to S 41.... will have to go dig it out some time and check. as well as some of the other books I got on the subject.

OK punting this up top to remind myself to answer this -- you'd think a guy with Jentz's Panzer books as well as some of the others I have -could be ought to have answered this properly by now.:rolleyes: (Meaning me... that is...)

Still plugging along...but my push from the South is making good progress. He's wearing my lines thin in a couple of places to the north, but I'm able to shore the seams up and keep him at bay...
