Did you watch our winter Kharkov wargame on YouTube to see if the 2nd SS Panzergrenadier Division Das Reich could punch through the Soviet defense north of the Orel River? Do you think you could assume command of exhausted Russian conscripts to delay the SS Panzer Corps and disrupt Manstein's timetable? This free PDF scenario allows you to play the scenario seen in Episode 109, using Fistful of TOWs 3.

I'm thinking with the amount of bases on the table plus the ambush units in the gulleys it is per Battalion, therefore 7 rifles, 3MMG's and 2 ATR's per Battalion

Interesting scenario. Look forward to trying it, perhaps playing each half separately. One thing that seems odd though is the lack of artillery. Is that historical, or was it done to make the game easier/go faster?

Dave--Your first question about the artillery was more of a scenario-design decision. The Germans are outpacing their guns in this quick dash for the Orel, and the Soviets were in such a state of muddled disarray on the first day of the counter-attack that limiting the artillery to on table mortars felt appropriate.

A couple of other questions WRT the maps... The maps do not indicate which way is north. It appears from watching the video, at approx. the 8:00 mark, that for the Western Table, the top of the map (in the pdf) is south? If so, it appears the road is slanted the wrong way - should go more from the middle of the north edge towards the SE corner?

Great battle report and back ground on the battle. I've played the Winter Storm campaign from TFL's using the Chain of Command rules. This ties in what I played in that campaign. In the video Greg was talking about playing the SS in wargaming, and was edited to come to LWTV for full interview...can't find it. Where can I find the rest of the interview? Thanks.

What size bases did you use for this by the way? I like the look of the round bases (as opposed to the usual square bases), and may steal the idea.

The bases are 1" rounds, and thick enough to pick up nicely!
