not sure what happened to turn 59

Germans launch main summer 42 attack driving a bulge into the Russian lines west of Kursk.

It seems containable.

Vatutin is railed in to blocking position

'Surprised your still running WITE 1 over WITE 2.'

Never switched. Air war issues. Not confident I could master that aspect which allows good opponent major advantage.

Same with War in West - which I really want to play but same issue.

About to post looking for a new game.

a little recon of the hex next to my 16th Tank Corps shows 2 German hq's ripe for rout. Would also add major Russian zoc over German possible retreats.
