RE: Can the Soviets win in Kursk?
1. The only perfectly balanced game would be for the 2 sides to have parity in terms of a mathematical computation which weighs every factor (moral, relative number of men, vehicles, etc.).
2. Then weather, terrain, etc has to be factored in.
3. The the VPs have to be set up to equal the situation with each side having an equal chance of attaining each level of victory.
4.Then the 2 players have to be handicapped appropriately relative to their individual abilities.
5. Then, the only thing that would be a true variable is the roll of the dice - and how boring would that be.
As I have said before, history is replete with stupid campaigns which make great games.
