DS Panzer Battles Kursk, The Southern Front
The key location for a minor victory.

Date: July 9th, 1943 - Size: Division - Location: Krasnaia Poliana, South of Oboyan

Scenario Briefing: General Major Johann Mickl's 11th Panzer Division had been the most effective formation in XXXXVIII Panzerkorps. It had preserved its Panzer strength and managed to advance the greatest distance each day. It was the counter opposite to the performance of the Großdeutschland Panzer Grenadier Division. Mickl's men were again ready to attack as requested by Korps at 4am an hour before dawn.

WDS Panzer Battles Southern Front

Voronezh Front - July 8 1943
Teterevino South, South West of Prokhorovka: July 8th, 1943. (Scenario Size: Army. Head to
Head or Team Play, Soviet Human vs German AI) General Oberst Hermann Hoth was frustrated.
The II SS Panzerkorps had penetrated beyond the second Soviet defensive line, but neither the
III nor XXXXVIII Panzerkorps had kept pace. To make matters worse, nowhere had the Soviets
been decisively destroyed, enemy units had been pushed back and displaced but rarely had
formations been surrounded and decimated. Hoth ordered both Leibstandarte and Das Reich to
detach their Panzergruppes and attack North West to assist XXXXVIII Panzerkorps advance and
hopefully trap a significant portion of General Lieutenant Mikhail Katukov's 1st Tank Army.
Unbeknownst to the Germans, Voronezh Front's commander, General Nikolai Fyodorovich
Vatutin was trying to manoeuvre four Tank Corps to attack II SS Panzerkorps extended right
flank and push through the German lines trapping the SS in his own encirclement. Fortune
smiled upon the Soviets as they prepared the 600 tanks of 2nd, 2nd Guards, 5th Guards and
10th Tank Corps to attack the extended 25 kilometre long right flank of the II SS Panzerkorps
that would be bereft of its own armour. The biggest challenge for the Soviet tankers was the
less than eight hours that they were given to prepare Vatutin's first big counter thrust.
