SaP is going to be the 1st HASL on the battle of Kursk.
I'm really looking forward to it.
From my various scenarios set at Kursk I'm getting a picture of the kind of warfare that it was.
Massive fortification complexes, dug-in tanks and cupollas, relatively open terrain ideal for massed armor battles, trench and pillbox networks etc. etc.
It was the old equation of "immovable object vs irresistable force".
What makes it such interesting ASL is that so many factors come into play. Its 'Combined Arms' at its peak.
Slaughter At Ponyri seems to involve many of those elements mentioned above from what I've heard. It will be a very intense ASL experience.
I'm looking forward to trying out assaulting the Russian lines with companies of German troops with Tanks and SPG galore. Heavy German AFV + Halftracks + Elite Troops laden with fortification busting SW; whats not to like!
Or trying my hand at designing the defense perimeter with lots of Fortification 'goodies' at my disposal.
Kursk deserves an HASL of its own; like Stalingrad, Ardennes, Arnhem etc.
Can't wait!!! :surprise:
