RE: EF team game
Operation Zitadelle may be lost but we'll storm that unnamed town even if it is the last thing we'll ever do!!!

It very well may be... Meanwhile, the continuous stream of T-34s advancing south shows no end...

Turn 21 / 25, Northern steppes of Donets basin, somewhere at Kursk sector...

Overseeing the operations himself, General Schmidt is personally ensuring every single tube is firing at Russian positions.

The objective immediate ahead of 19th Panzer Division is edging closer. "Get into town, or die in the open!" That's all there is for the panzergrenadiers still alive, in a desperate struggle to secure the crossroads in front of them.

Meanwhile, the left flank is still in the brink of collapse. This time, however, the burning tanks in horizon are all hostiles...

General Schmidt is quick to counter the obscene claims Russians just made.

"First of all, just because the original name of the picture is 'Burning Tigers' means naught. One should not trust everything found in the internet!"

"Secondly, all friendly armour out there was destroyed turns ago. They all finished burning eons ago. Still smouldering perhaps, but burning? Definitively not! So, technically, the Soviet claims are utter rubbish as well. All that is burning are the one or two tanks we finally managed to destroy!"

"Ha! Take that, Ivan!" the men of 19th Panzer Division join in supporting the analytical logic their beloved commander used to escape the bad press he was receiving.

The troops are wondering if a Soviet counterattack is on the horizon...

or...

if it's time to commandeer the houses, get wasted on beer & Vodka, and have the field brothel brought in-

RE: EF team game
The German assault edges ever so closer towards the objective ahead, only to find hex after hex of fresh Soviet troops defending them.

[Image: wehrmacht-german-soldiers-ww2-second-wor...illage.jpg]

At least 25-30 enemy T-34s are spotted rolling towards the battle zone, about to hit them from rear. One or two disrupted Mark IIIs are ordered to slow them down, if only for a turn or two!

[Image: wwii0173.jpg?m=1310178903]

By now, the 19th Panzer Division is a panzer division only by name. The exhausted men are facing their last chance to break into town. One last hurrah!

As panzergrenadiers arrive to stabilize the central front, Tigers from the 503 Schwere Panzer-Abteilung destroy advancing T-34s behind the woodline outside of Kurakovka...

RE: EF team game
It is all over for the once so proud 19th Panzer Division.

Barrage after barrage, assault after assault, the determined Russian defence lines hold on.

As the avalanche of T-34s now enter the battle as well, all that is left is to evacuate the wounded and get out from the open as quickly as possible!

As the battle nears it close...

Tigers of 503 Schwere Panzer-Abteilung cover infantry as they move back to defensive positions around Novo-Oskochnoe...
[Image: battleofkursk5.jpg]

Panzertruppen from the 7th Panzergrenadier Regiment are now in position to protect Kurakovka as T-34s burn on the horizon in front of them...
[Image: 82626180.png]

Having won the battle at Rzhavets, Soviet infantry keep driving west through heavy fire to regain ground lost early in the operation...will they suceed in retaking Kurakovka?

RE: EF team game
One turn to go...

As Operation Zitadelle is called off due to Allied landing in Sicily, the surviving landsers are digging in, trying to survive the last moments remaining in the battle...

[Image: german-soldiers-dig-a-foxhole-eatern-front-1941.jpg]

Realising he must have faced no other than marshall Zhukov himself, General Rudi Schmidt counts his losses while pouring a well deserved schnaps for himself.

"Maybe I should change my name to Roy Smith, and emigrate to US. I hear it is turkey season out there...", he ponders.

Happy Thanksgiving!
