Kharkov '43:Manstein Strikes Back (Alt)(jazman version) by jazman.

[Bidermann]

I am playing this scenario as Russian, the thing I have found so far is that it is a good.But the problem I found in the first 12 turns is that my Russians on each flank of Kharkov are so exposed to Axis counter attacks that they have been smashed this also goes for my forces in the far south of the map, the main force to the North east of Kharkov is to far away to help so the Russians are picked of and destroyed. I know I am not the best Panzer player but my death count is 19,000 dead to the axis 2,000.

Do the Russians have to be so knacked at the start,and so exposed ?
I wanted to hold my main didvisions to the North east back for a day just to try and rest them but with such heavy pressure on my forces close to Kharkov I had to push them on . But with Bunkers and trenches being extra tough to break I have little chance to break in to any defended area.

We have started to play the battle again I will see what I can do this time:-)
The way the battle has been Manstein wont need to come to the Axis aid but can stay in bed :-) lol
