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

Hi

I have been following the progress of your mod and really like it.

I would want to play a game on your map, but Iam a bit reluctant to start a campaign as I feel that Russians would not be able to put up a proper fight against the German SS.

What is your experince about playing this map against a human opponent?

And a few observations :
1. Why is the 107th Rifle div (around Garyvoron) C moraled?
2. Why did you give "Papa" Hausser a B. I think that man truly deserves that 'A'! ;)

Sch

Thanks for the kind words, but I only polished up original work that Rick Bancroft did.

I haven't played this head-to-head. I've been interested in any feedback from people, and am happy to incorporate suggestions.

Question 1: I don't remember, although I seem to recall seeing how it was routed and devastated. Maybe I am thinking of another division in this battle. But it seemed compelling to me.

Q2: This was really the first action of SS PzK as a formation, although you'll notice the SS Pz divisions are "A".

I tend to think you are right about the Russians vs. SS, and there is even Wiking down there in the South, but I haven't been able to get a good handle on what Wiking did during this battle, it wasn't part of the SS PzK.
