RE: Is the Kursk campaign viable?
Yes indeed, or, even better, remove the recovery percent from the PDT and apply it to each unit in the OOB as a numeric value. Thus, each turn, the engine checks the units recovery / replacement percent. But I doubt that will ever happen. I did mentioned before that a flag would be best for such circumstances in the OOB, something like "lower replacments" or "lower recovery", when given reduces the recovery rate of the unit by as much as 1/5. This could be applied to British infantry in N44, or units that required special training (thus restricting their replacement pool). This idea was apparently shot down though.
Part of the problem with lowerering the German recovery rate in K43 also stems from the issue that the Russians have so much artillery. I experimented with swapping the recovery values but it always results in the axis advance being stopped cold with no real chance of success from the constant soviet barrages. So the question is, should they (soviets) really have all those 36 gun mortar units or should they have a lower supply level. If neither of these is incorrect then the replacement rates must remain close to the stock values.
