RE: Is the Kursk campaign viable?
My one Gripe in the Campaign game is that the Minefields are not strong enough they hardly inflict casualties like the minefileds in Rzhev does that game the minefields inflict heavy casualties also there is not enough anti-Tank ditches remember that the Russians had over 6months to dig in with the Army and all the locla civilian populatio in David Glantz's book The Battle of Kursk page 376 On the principal likely axes the density of emplaced mines 1,800,-2000 anti- tank and anti Personal mines per Kilometer of front in the main defensive belt in my opinion the Germans blow through the minefields much to easily.one more thing in the game the Panther brigade is way overrated in this game they were more or less a non factor in the battle the first day the ran into a minefield and swampy terrain where alot of the Panthers were put out of action
