Today we’re starting something of a miniseries of wargames and discussions commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk, an absolute MONSTROUS battle fought on the Eastern Front of World War II.

To start with, we’re featuring a 15mm uber-game of abridged Battlegroup by Ironfist Publishing and PSC, recreating part of “Grossdeutschland” Panzergrenadier Division’s assault on Cherkasskoye, a Russian village on the southern shoulder of the Kursk salient held by 67th Guards Rifle Division.

This game also features the very first time the famous PzKpfw V “Panther” tank was used, although the machine’s battlefield debut was hardly auspicious, as our game will show.

It’s the classic “unstoppable force hitting an immovable object.”  Which will prevail?
