" New Scenarios and Campaigns
o German Kharkov, May 1942, 14th Panzer Division, (8 Battles)
o Soviet Kharkov, May 1942, 169th Rifle Divison, (8 Battles)
o German Mcensk, October 1941, 4th Panzer Division, (4 Battles)
o German Kursk North, July 1943, (3 Battles)
o Boot Camp Tutorial (6 Battles)"
I downloaded the Winter Storm demo tonight, with eager anticipation, and got all the way to loading the tutorial and then it crashed and sent me back to my desk top! :hissy: That was on my laptop. I'll try my PC, as I really want to give it a try.
That makes for an interesting situation since the 39th Panzer Brigade, with the two Panther battalions in it, was attached to GD on the SOUTHERN shoulder. Seems they are getting a little off base with their history.
It's a natural progression though, since it was the battles around Khar'kov in 1942 that lead to the salient at Kursk being formed, and Manstein proposing that attack in the first place.
Good Hunting.
