Kursk: Playtesting Update (2)
Jack Polonka (game developer) is back with an update:
“Playtesting is still ongoing for Kursk and it’s shaping up to be a historically accurate bloodbath, just like the real battle. By the end of turn two, the playtest map is littered with casualties, especially for the Red Army, mirroring the historical toll they suffered.
The 18th Tank Corps, supported by two Red Army infantry divisions, overwhelmed the Aufklärungs Abteilungen. A counter-attack with Tiger tanks helped stabilize the situation, but only just. Just as it happened historically, the anti-tank ditch manned by German forces served as a crucial defensive line, stemming the tide of the Soviet assault.
This is shaping up to be a fun and strategically challenging game that stays true to history. The game has been expanded to include the earlier engagement on July 11th, where the Liebstandarte division launches a fierce attack and nearly captures the town of Prokhorovka.“
Take a look at the new prototype counters we are preparing. Vassal Module for playtesting is comming up soon…
