Overview:

The breaking dawn on the 12th saw both sides slamming artillery barrages into the grainfields around Prokhorovka. Like two tides of steel and flesh rushing towards each other, the 5th Guards Tank Army and II SS Panzer Corps collided just south of the town itself. As an aerial battle raged overhead, the SS tankers stopped to engage the Russians at optimal range while the SS Panzergrenadiers dismounted and prepared their own tools of carnage. The stage was set, the cast was ready for the final battle. . . . . . . . .Scenario 3/3 of Broadway to Prokhorovka campaign (page 60 of Journal 3). Both sides chooses their OBs from available groups. The unit list below lists everything available, but the players only get to use about half of them.

2024-08-04(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German (SS) winI drew the Soviets in this big meeting engagement. The first 1.5 turns were all movement. All heck broke loose in Soviet GT2. It was smash mouth East Front action from then on! Despite losing six tanks, I thought things were under control after 4 turns. My OBA, a 9-1 directed LMOR in 4I5 and a 9-2 directed HMG in 4O6L1 stopped Jim's infantry and my T-34s were hunting Tigers. It swung Jim's way in the next two turns. Costly 76L duds (on an exiting SPW and a Tiger rear AF shot) and losing both SU-152s (to 105 H9 and 88L AP) cost me 5 exit VP and opened up board 44. Jim poured it on and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! Jim: The Panzers won this with good shooting. Tiger G with the 9-1 leader never missed. After a 9-1 and two MMCs slipped off the east edge of board 4, my infantry got hammered, but when his tanks were gone, Vic couldn't block board 44. We agreed the BPSSR 4 didn't apply to a T-34 recalled for a Casualty MC, so it exited the map. This one is fun but favors the Soviets. My luck held, but a few broken Panzer MAs, and its game over for the SS.

2023-01-20(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier Russian winThe Germans got to move first and came on in force, but by the end of Turn 2 the Russians had a good line of defense and while the Germans were trying to go up the east side, the Russians were able to meet the challenge, preventing them from ever getting a toe-hold on the hill. In the center, the Russian T-34s matched up well and staying out of LOS from the Tiger tanks. Even so, the Tigers wrecked two tanks and the Russians lost one to Recall. The Germans missed some critical SMOKE shots mid game that slowed their advance and actually kept the initiative on the Russian side. Fun scenario, lots going on, but favors the Russians.
