Can the Soviets win in Kursk?

[Gordons HQ]

I look at these games rather differently than some I think and perhaps I'm wrong, but this is what I expect from Campaigns.

Firstly I believe we are playing or trying to recreate to some extent a simulation of a battle that historically took place generally in WWII.

Although we probably don't use the exact same plans and methods of executing these as were used in the real battles.
All the same I expect to have as reasonable a chance as they had if I am playing the historical winning side.

Likewise if I am playing the historical losing side, then I expect to have a real difficult time of it. In many cases having only the slightest chance of being able to win to turn around the historical result.

I believe this is the great attraction of wargaming, trying to see if you can do as good or even better than history.
I don't look for an even game, just a challenging one.

I praise all the scenario designers who try to make them this way and change the often distorted view of history, sometimes these games turn out to be.
