The Mius battles after Citadel

Pip Roberts · 06-12-2008, 09:24 AM,

Does anybody have a scenario about the Russian offensive on the Mius River after Citadel failed? I would especially love to have one on the successfgulk German counterattack by 3rd Pz, Reich and Totenkopf from 27th July to 1st August 1943
I understand that the Germans lost more tanks then than in the south of Citadel.
Thanks if you can help

There is one called "Das Reich. Closing the gap" in the download section.

I have not played it, but is sounds like what you are looking for.

Thanks Smedley. The Das reich scenaario sounds just what I want but sadly it is a custom scenario not available for download. If I could contact majog I may be able to get it as he play tested it.

Have you read 'Decision in the Ukraine Summer 1943 II SS and III Panzerkorps' by George Nipe, Jr ?

Hi

I would strongly recommend that you read Decision in the Ukraine.. a fascinating account of the battles after citadel..and explains in detail why the battles at Kursk and Mius are one and the same and why they are connected.

Thanks mates. I now have the download and will sure try to get George Nipe's great book. I have read that the Germans lost more tanks in the Mius battles than in Citadel.
