Description:- The biggest tank battle in the whole history. The Germans and the Soviet Union have a lot of troops covering Kursk waiting to the attack order.
.This is the last oportunity to Germany to take back control of the East front, and the last battle to open the door to Berlin for the Soviets. Who will win?
(I know that in that year Leningrade was liberated, and the russians took some lands moving the east front a little to the west, but i can't draw all)
The battle of Kursk, otherwise known as the Kursk Cauldron can be an ideal map. There are already many strategy games that depict this historical event, the largest tank battle ever.
The map should highlight the entirety of Eastern Europe and be focused on the time and place on Kursk, however to have only players Soviet Union and Germany as belligerents comes to be limited.
The eastern European theatre engaged many other nations as proponents to efforts on the Eastern front.
The battle for Stalingrad should be where this campaign begins and be called eastern front WW2. The entire map is solely Eastern front. Rather than nations, there are army groups and include nations besides Germany that were also involved as the grinders pushed east.
Troop commitments, legions & air force on eastern front included:
(These should probably be AI players but would be good to include them)
Croatia/Yugoslavia
Romania
Italy
France
Spain
If a map was to depict one battle solely it could only interest two players, I think that the point of histoy is a top choice, but it should be considered as an Eastern EU frontier and will be up to human players to determine how a major battle should come about. This would mean more human players and better scenarios.
