Hi there .
As far as i know there is at least one and its called "The moment of truth" and was designed by WBW himself .
Its a huge scenario with a large force to be taken care of but its really worth playing it IMO .

'North of the Psel' is one of my Kursk favorites.

Thanks, Drescher! In SPWAW that is the only scenario I have ever done on Kursk. So many battles have been done on this theme that I almost did not do this one. Still, after reading carefully the history of this critical day in the fighting (July 12th, 1943), I felt that I had to do something.

The scenario I did covers the battle for Prokhorovka and has the inclusion of a number of historical names of participants in the battle.
As my comrade says, it is a large tank-infantry battle and I tried to be as true to the real thing as I could. It is not for the faint of heart but I think after you play it, preferably from the German side, you'll have a strong feel for just what the Germans were facing that fateful day.

It was indeed "The Moment of Truth," for the Panzers. Look for an updated version of it to go up soon on the Scenario Depot at the Wargamer.

I recommend the scenario named "School house". A Very good scenario. Be prepared for a desperate fight against Hordes of russians.

Thanks Drescher. It is a lot of fun. Wittmann's "Against the Odds" Scenario is built around action at Kursk. It is Scen236. "Moment of Truth" is Scen116

Hi Adamo.

There's a bunch of Kursk scenarios out there. I know M4 Jess, Redleg and Bryan Melvin has done some as well. If you would like copies (I believe they are all 7.1) I can email them to you as attachments. Let me know!

I'm playing "The Moment Of Truth" in a PBEM. Me as the Soviet. About 50 German tanks (7 Tiger) want to take a hill and a town. Tiger vs old T-34 (41) .... that's not fair[:-] ...42 enemy tanks destroyed (2 Tiger) but I could not stop the Germans to take that hill[:@]
