Thanks very much Chema for creating the excellent scenario Das Reich Closing the gap. You have made a very accurate portrayal of this little known but very important battle where Das Reich defeated the Russians but lost more tanks and men than they had at Prokhorovka.
I am trying to get Geoffrey Nipe's book Decison in the Ukraine which puts the southern flank of Citadel in perspective.
I will play vs the AI as I want to study the action and see if I can repeat the Das Reich victory. I am playing 3 H2H games for pleasure but do enjoy studying the History of special actions. For this your accurate scenarios are wonderful.

George Nipe's book provides excellent OOB and Chema has provided a few more Tigers than were actual available. Also the Axis had plenty of arty including several Nebelwerfer units.

Hello Pips.

Thanks for your comments. I made some several attempts to balance this scn with the original OOB, but after many test games with Jorge we realise the battle was unbalanced. We decide to increase the units to make playable and funny.

I have a topic in my mind when I start a new scn design: make historic and funny scn is very difficult, so be careful and accurate in the OOB data but try to balance the battle with units strenghts and others designing tips...
