Fictional scenarios?

[Turner]

I like the idea of fictional scenarios. Mainly because it's less work to put them together and that it gives you free hands.

This is the description of the Kursk scenario I'm working on. Let me know if anyone is interested in playtesting when it's done.



0600 hrs 5th July 1943 - The failure before Moscow led to a military coup and the assasination of Hitler on new year's eve 1941. After a successful push on Stalingrad in late '42, Army Group South continued to secure the Baku oil fields early in the spring of '43. Further north, Moscow is again threatened but after exhaustive fighting during the spring operations has grinded to a halt frustrating both sides. STAVKA has decided to now concentrate on the "soft spot" between AG Centre and South hoping to break through into the germans rear and throw their efforts in the north or south, hopefully both, off balance. OKH decide to give ground north of Stalingrad to buy time. As a result Tambov, Lipetsk and Voronezh are quickly seized. As the Soviet Army approaches Kursk a fortified defensive line is completed and manned by Wehrmacht troops rushing into prepared positions. Their confidence is bolstered by the arrival of the powerful II. SS PzKorps, III. PzKorps and XLVII. PzKorps behind them. STAVKA recieve information of the german buildup of forces and devise a daring plan to quickly break through to Kursk. Will the german panzer units break the spear of the Soviet Army, or will the germans find themselves in Ukraine next?
