Panzer Battles Kursk

[Don Czirr]

PBK is a good title, but it's frustrating to lose fights based on loses suffered very early in the fight and you can't do anything about it. You need to advance and break the Soviet lines to win

Kursk is a tough fight in any game that I have played. Squad Battles, CC, Panzer Commander or CMBB. You know going into Kursk that it's going to be a knock down, drag out fight

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

The demo Mius Panzer Campaigns main battle was about assaulting a heavily fortified area with bunkers and mines  etc and I thought that was quite enjoyable.

Depends on your mood however ....

There are times where a lighter battle with more fluidity may be more entertaining .. like some of the NGP or Smolensk scenarios.

Then there is also the psychological factor ... the idea of Kursk (outside the games), usually pisses me off to see such fine troops wasted in an effort where the plans were known and well prepared for ...

On the other hand, from a gaming perspective, JTS has always been good (IMO) in breaking off bits off battles and making them enjoyable even if the main campaign was based off of a doomed venture ....
