Does this scenario exist?

SPWaW is a tactical squad-level World War II game on single platoon or up to an entire battalion through Europe and the Pacific (1939 to 1945).

Is there a scenario about the biggest tank battle ever during the Battle of Kurst?

Being worked on as we write, by some of the best designers.
Retreat is NOT an option.

There's one that was done in SP1 that I enjoyed so much I converted it to SPWaW.

It's at Fabio's site

http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/spwaw_scenarios.htm

look for "Battle of Prokhorovka (Kursk)"

Lots of tanks!! You may want to set OpFire to "Zero" for the first few turns - or if you like choosing your shots on 100 Russian tanks - go for it.

Holy moly, I'm making like 12 scenarios covering the action from the 3rd SS Pzgrenadier's point of view. It'll be conglomerated into a campaign with the core point total at like 11000 points (you'll have to follow the purchasing recommdations closely or you risk running into unit limit problems...) I'm also considering making supplementary scenarios that cover action at simultaneos times as some of the scenarios in areas that are close to the campaign scenarios. "North of the Psel", which can be found on Fabio Prado's site (links in Matrix's links section) and its a fat scenario. Too big for most people's tastes I'd say, but not too big for me... anyways, email me if you want to test some of the scenarios in the campaign.

The North of Psel scenario is overwhelming. I have destroyed over 150 t34's and still the Russians are sending more. The Pak fronts are a tough nut to crack, and I&#8217;m down to my last 3 Tigers.
First-rate scenario of the totenkopf at kursk.

All excellent choices. Tomo and Figmo always do top rate scenarios.

Moment of Truth in the scenario list is another. And I'm delighted to see Tomo giving this engagement the treatment it deserves.

Its worthy of a campaign without a doubt.

I don't have enough of a track record for someone to say 'always', deep thanks to WB for the high regard though. Figmo on the other hand has done like a million scenarios or something, heh. I really think Kursk is an interesting topic and the nice thing is that there is a lot of information to be found covering it. I'm thinking of going on to make campaigns for the northern face of the offensive, the Grossdeutschland, 1st Guards Tank Army (this one going on to Kharkov). I'm hooked on the large scale, and I have access to good geographical data of the area... Three scenarios are ready for playtesting, email if you want to take a stab at them.
