Question about Kursk OOB

[Volcano Man]

For the Soviets at the individual Army level there is over a 2-1 difference in manpower between Glantz and HPS. The Soviet Rifle divisions tend to be under 4000 men in the HPS oob where a full strength soviet rifle division was about 11,000

Well, a Soviet rifle division was seldom, if ever, at full strength. They actually were mostly around 50% at all times AFAIK, I have read that they had a tendency of just simply providing minimal replacements to existing rifle divisions and would simply create new ones when those were destroyed. So, they definitely received replacements, but only such that kept them at moderate strengths. PzCs is correct in this regard, and the OOBs in these books usually deal with full strength numbers which can be pure fantasy on the Eastern Front.
