could the MIUS 43 Demo have been on of the greats!!

Actually here is the background story.

Back around 2003 I started researching this for a game. Talking with John Tiller and Glenn Saunders at the time we thought about a series of East Front battles. Smaller battles that could be combined into a game and John was going to call them "East Front Campaigns 1" etc. So I started looking at this battle by John's suggestion and also the smaller action near Izyum, along the Donets, involving 1. PzA that took place at the same time. Put together a Mius OOB and completed the Mius map which John had started, but then put them aside to work on other projects (I think Rzhev and Stalingrad). So I never got back to that project as there was always something new to work on, (Minsk, Tunisia), and later saw that John was putting out just the Mius battle as a demo.

So to answer your question, this was supposed to be a full game that never saw the light and John used the map and the OOB to create the demo.
