Here you can place the historical introduction and and write down everything you want the people to know about your project.

This scenario is designed to be played as team and works best with three players
per side. It is based on the central sector of 9th Army during the battle of Kursk
This particular part of the battle was marked by savage and intense fighting by both sides.
In many places the Russians refused to retreat even using artillery as direct fire anti-tank
weapons. It was also marked by savage artillery bombardments and numerous attacks and counter 
attacks.

There were numerous parts and pieces of divisions etc involved in the battle. For the sake of
scenario design I chose the followingfor each side.

German: 
47th Pz Corps
	6th Infantry Division
	2nd Panzer Division
	9th Panzer Division
		505th heavy panzer battalion
		Stug battalion
		Werfer Regiment (3 battalions)

Russian:
2nd Tank Army
	75th Gds Rifle Division (Part)
	16th Tank Corps
	19th Tank Corps
		Gds Heavy Mortar regiment
		Gds Gun Regiment
		Destroyer Brigade (part)
		AA Regiment
		AT Regiment
		Super Heavy Howitzer battalion

On the morning of July 6th the Germans had moved the 2nd Pz Division
up to continue the attack along with the 6th Inf Division. The Russian
high command had ordered a counter attack to begin on the very same
morning. The two forces collided with the prize being the high ground
around Teploe and Olkhovatka. As the fighting increased in intensity
each side committed more and more units upping the ante in a deadly
high stakes poker game. The ferocity of the fighting was equal to or
worse than any that had been seen in the war.
