Here we are..

that "baby" slept in my "Mess" for ages, between Grand Manner's Office uildings and Britannia's Brandenurg Door, all of the unpainted for 20 years, awaiting the day i'll grew up and learnt "how to"...

then, the other day, a friend of mine told me he wanted to play a Skirmish with Stalingrad Tractor works..

time to start painting that baby and dig the "Rattenkrieg" supplement for Battlegroung World war II out.

that could be a funny playground....

Battle for Kursk

Russian set-up east flank..

Russians starts with infantry a handfull of heavy tanks, AA and AT guns

Russian command .. david is in charge of the right flank and decided to take his Infantry co for a walk in the forest.. Bertrand, in chagre of the centre knows the hill has to be held at all costs.

German command. the main problem for them will be delayed entry, their forces are impressive, two Panzergrenadier cies, Tiger, Panthers, Elephants - all unreliable, subject to breakdown, plus a handull of Mark III and IV..
