PzC Kharkov '43 Just Released

"Personally, I would prefer a Tiller published Moscow game than someones mod - even if just for the play testing that has been done."

Strela,

Unfortunately, as you well know, a fair number of stock official published scenarios have proven to be problematic in terms of play balance and of debatable historical accuracy - but on the bright side this has led to some extraordinary efforts on the part of amateur player hobbists to create brilliant and lovingly researched mods - this site and others are well endowed with these efforts; and it would be quite inconsiderate to demean these efforts simply because they do not carry the official HPS stamp of approval. I am sure that this is not your intent, and I know you respect these efforts as much as anyone else.

The great thing about Kh43 is that it consolidates the map, which in itself took work, it adds a plethora of unique scenarios, it allows more user created scenarios to be made, AND there are future official expansion packs planned for the game in the works! It seems pretty solid as a new game to me. ;)

Rick,

7 years ago after FSR I created, "Operation Polkovodets Rumyantsev; aka Uregan." This is the Soviet counteroffensive after Kursk to retake Kharkov. Since the top 10 or hexes are missing from the K'42 map I had to fudge a bit but it is a blast none the less. Timeline researched to the hilt, including OOB from extremely credible sources. I never uploaded it, but I guess now is a good as time as any to revisit this project. I will eventually post this for those who have K'42.

Thanks for the offer; if I buy K 43 I will try to dig out my notes and redo the full FSR campaign. As for Uregan, I am leery on stepping on anyone's toes if it one of the planned official expansion packs - as an ardent HPS supporter I do want the company to show a profit :-)

Happy Holidays,

Mark
