WarnOrd - Flames of War: Kursk

Tonight, I've been invited to a Mega Game of Flames of War where we will be revisiting Kursk. The battle we are playing is set on the outskirts of the city, in the rolling hills and open plains. Not much cover there, methinks!

I'll be sure to get some pictures and provide a good battle report.

To prepare for this battle, I've had to paint up 18 tanks and 6 stands of Panzer Grenadiers, as well as their Krupps trucks (6) and command vehicle, plus command and mortar stands. I have finished the Panzer grenadiers, their vehicles, and the command stands. I have to do a bit of touch up on the 18 tanks for them to be complete.

Nine of the tanks are for my forces - the other nine are for Louis - he is playing Soviets and needed an SU-76i platoon(5) and an SU-122 platoon(4).

I've got them pretty close to being finished and will pop some photos up once they are done.

Here is my 2000 point force list or roster. I used Army Builder 2.0 to build it. I highly recommend Army Builder as a tool - just remember the data files are built by fellow gamers, and may not always be accurate or up-to-date.
