First Panzer Battles Tournament

[Dog Soldier]

ComnradeP,

I set the rounds to follow the day as it unfolded for the II PzK. It is also the way the larger full day scenario tends to be played. The sequence of events is just fine to do this I think.

Round one is a clearing action of the right flank which is going at the same time round 2 action is on July 6.
Round 1 features Totenkopf.
Round 2 features LAH and the breaching of the second MLD at Kursk in the South.
Round 3 features Das Reich. This is the action happening on right flank after Round 2.
Round 4 features LAH and we are back on the left flank of the II SS PzK advance. Soviet players can make this a very rough time for the Axis after the first scenarios of reacting to the initial Axis blows that day. Both sides can deal significant damage to each other.
Round 5 features both LAH and Das Reich with the largest contingent of Soviet tanks that day. The Soviet players now get the chance to choose a place to make their own counter punch to the II SS PzK punches they have sustained. Ozerovskii puts all the lessons from the other scenarios together and was the climax of the day.
Round 6 features Totenkopf again as nice bookend to the tournament. This action was a side show to protect the right flank of Das Reich in round 4.

I think this sequence makes a good story to go with the gaming. All the scenarios contain weaknesses and strengths for both sides. They highlight the subtle differences in the OOBs of the three divisions in II SS PzK.

10-3 SquadLeader. Just indicate on this thread you want to be in the tournament. You can indicate a preference to play Axis or Soviet for the tournament or let me assign you to a side. That is all that is required right now.
