Teterevino North, South West of Prokhorovka: July 10th, 1943. (Scenario Size: Regiment. German Human vs Soviet AI) SS-Obersturmbannführer Hugo Kraas'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 Leibstandarte's remaining Panzers to exploit any breakthrough created by their brother battalions. To compensate for the loss of the SPW Battalion, the Aufklarüngs (reconnaissance) Battalion reinforced with Marder self-propelled AT guns was attached to Kraas'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.
