So far I've only played about a turn and a half as the German. The Soviets start attacking on their first turn, they've blown out a section of the front of the bulge, and are breaking into the Orel salient! This is gonna be a tough one for the Germans!

O.K. Nothing is scripted in this one; it's the AI on its own for both sides. I want this scenario to focus on the events dealing with the Kursk salient. Maybe this could be achieved by putting the Soviets "on the flanks" in static mode. What do you think?

I was thinking that at least have them wait a while, but given how short the scenario is static is a good idea, I'd also think about doing that for the guys at the front of the Kursk bulge, because they can break out with no problem.

Okeedoke.

There's something wrong with the deployment of forces. Look at here: tm.asp?m=2789369

This scenario is a direct snip from the stock 1943 Campaign Scenario initial set-up.

I know. Some dirty promotion by me. Sorry about that.

LAUGH!

Let me know when you are absolutely done with your 1943 Campaign Mod and I'll be happy to revise my Operation Zitadelle scenario to reflect your start locations.

Will do. Cheers!

Somehow missed this one. Thanks for the scenario!

Sorry for not infoming you earlier, but Trey has the latest version of the campaign scen you should use to revise this scen. Cheers!
