I am running a Kursk month (75th anniversary) for July, a mix of boardgame, figures and some Lloyd Clark reading - all good.

As scenario 1 gets set up, there is a new intro post looking at the Dark July map / terrain and mention of the rather convoluted start to the lloyd Clark book.

The Kursk Battles Month continues with first scenario, the attack on hill 252.2 has been played and is up. It is a longish post and further posts will be shorter as there will be less to explain.

Kursk Battles,
The second scenario from the Dark July module, Clear the Ditches has been played and an AAR is up on the blog. This covers a German attack against a long anti-tank ditch that flanked Hill 252.2.

Next up in the ongoing Kursk Battles (Lock 'n Load Tactical) - the battle for Oktiabrskii State Farm.
For those that know the system, there is a neat special scenario rule that only allows units to enter a fortified building to melee with enemy ..... if the remaining defenders are all shaken. It certainly changes the criteria for taking buildings and impacts significantly on play and game tension.

The fourth (of six) scenario, The Road to Prokhorovka, from the Dark July expansion has been played out and comment at the blog in the usual format.

Another Kursk battle - Breaking the Line, this time using 10mm figures on 4"hex terrain. One of those games that didn't quite behave itself!

This is the big one - plenty of tanks for the 12th July battles
I played the large tank battle scenario from Lock 'n Loads Dark July module today.
Nice double mapper and a good demonstration as to how this infantry centric game handles armour so well, with 17 tanks initially on the table.
Observations and AAR over on my blog. LINK

Played the final scenario from the lock n' load Dark July supplement, which covers the Kursk battles.
This scenario moves to the northern shoulder and the interesting battle of Ponyri. Know to those that fought there as Little Stalingrad, this scenario covers the fight for the School and Tractor Station.
Observations and replay notes over at my blog - LINK
