Hi Perry
Been working on certification exams, so been off these means for a while.The Death Ride Kursk series is company and platoon level. but will work right up to divisional , corp and army level. The first three are Gross Deutschland, 3rd Panzer, 11th Panzer, with an enhancement package. The next three are all IISS divisions Totenkopf, Leibstandart, and Das Reich with an enhancement package. The game is excellant because you can increase the complexity level to as high as you want it, right to the point of individual Maintenance companies, Signal Companies, Supply companies and Medical Companies. All play an important part in the game. Chris Fasulo is the designer, his job is wargammer for the US military.This game is almost the same idea for the systems he uses for training officers. The game system allows you to design the individual battlaion OOB, as well as regimental, and Brigade level. HQ units control their respective sub-units, and command and control as well as supply is the key to success.
The orders of battle are massive, but easily used and the counters are easy to read and work with. I have wanted a game system that accurately portrays the fighting in the south. And yes for those that want massive armor battles this is going to give even the most dedicated tread head
a run for their money. The battle for Prohkorovka OOB is impressive.I recommend it for those who want to spend the money and time. I spent the
cash on a system that will allow for constant replays , flexible OOB to try different tactics. I call it the ASL of operational level gaming.It is even better than OCS games for flexibility.Yes it may have cost some coin but from what I see it is a damn good investment for an old guy like me
