Toaw Scenario: From Kursk to Kiev

Briefing
FROM KURSK TO KIEV Eastern Front 1943 Version: 1.0 PBEM only This scenario is best played with options No Borders on and High Supply off. 1. INTRODUCTION This scenario starts just before the battle of Kursk is fought, featuring the ensuing fight for Ukraine. The German player has the option not to launch the attack on Kursk, however he has a 115 shock bonus only for the first turn (representing the accumulation of material assembled for the projected offensive) and if he manage to take Kursk (142,85) the Soviet player will suffer a 75 Shock penalisation for 8 turns, virtually destroying any chance of victory for him. So it is up to the German player he he wants to risk that attack or if he wants to play a defensive option. The Soviet player will get a major victory for achieving the historical outcome and not getting too many casualties. 2. DESIGN NOTES Besides the two shock events noted before, there is another important issue, the German side do not receive any replacement, instead he receive a number of new units as reinforcements, some of them armour battalions that replace some others battalions disbanded by events (those are the Pz battalions updated to Panther) . The Soviet player receives "industrial" replacements, mainly tanks and artillery, but in order to get manpower he need to conquer some places. The Soviet player, as soon as he conquers the locations with the / sign, will receive in any of them one unit as a reinforcement. Those units have a lot of squads, they are non mobile and they are meant to be disbanded, so that all those squads go to the replacements pool. This is done to represent the new recruits raised by the Soviet army in the recovered regions of Ukraine. There is no Air Units in this scenario, it is a purely land simulation. Soviet "Divisions" don´t have their organical artillery assets, they have been instead grouped as Army artillery assets to reflect Soviet doctrine of artillery concentration. I? Harrizabalagatar
