Can the Soviets win in Kursk?

[Volcano Man]

Well no, the current weather (ground conditions) is certainly not a good representation of the historical weather on the days I mentioned. To determine that, one only has to look at the war diaries of the various German Panzer Corps. The idea is that, on the days in which were historically bad weather then the probability of such should at least be > 50% chance of occuring, not 30% or 40% -- otherwise, even the weather itself is pro German. The idea is that a ground condition which was not historical should be < 50% probability so that "luck" would have to play a factor in order for the weather to be different than was historically the case.

Anyway, the point is, the ground conditions (not just visibility) was more of a factor than it currently seems. But I am in no way talking about high probability Mud Conditions no, that is fine as it is, just on the days in which the ground conditions were historically poor (on both north and south of the salient) then there is simply a higher probability of Soft Conditions. So there isn't a big change there, just less "pro German" chance involved with the weather. It is simply one aspect that is overlooked, and is probably the single most important "balancing" aspect to a campaign.
