Teterevino North, South West of Prokhorovka: July 10th, 1943. (Scenario Size: Regiment.) SS-Obersturmbannführer Albert Frey's 2nd SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment had rested for the last 48 hours. Reordered after the initial days of battle, it's I &II Battalions were to clear the two large collective farms between Teterevino North and Prokhorovka. The mechanized (SPW) III Battalion was to be held in reserve with Liebstandarte's remaining Panzers to exploit any breakthrough created by their brother battalions. To compensate for the loss of the SPW Battalion, the Aufklarung (reconnaissance) Battalion reinforced with Marder self-propelled AT guns was attached to Frey's Regiment. The Komsomolets & Oktyabrski State Farms had been fortified as part of the Soviet 3rd defensive line and were considered cornerstones of the Psel valley defences. A breach here would have serious consequences for the defenders.

I find it interesting that this scenario and the one that takes place the following day, 0711-02 take place on much the same ground. This scenario is not extremely difficult for the Germans, but the next one is almost impossible in the time given.
