Tank on Tank East Front - Tanksgiving Scenario RIDERS ON THE RED STORM Kursk July 10th, 1943 The Soviets have withstood five days of German attacks and were ready to launch a counterattack against the Nazi invad- ers. Their target: any German in sight. Soviet Tank Riders are assigned to protect the T-34s from any enemies that get to close. - Sean Druelinger Order of Battle Soviets Germans deploy in hexrows G1 – Q1 & G2 – Q2, inclusive. • 2 Panther & 1 Panther HQ (deploy in or within • 6 T-34s one hex of J9) • 3 T-34 HQs • 2 Tigers & 1 Tiger HQ (deploy in or within • 2 Katyusha three hexes of N10) • 6 Infantry stacked (on top) with a T-34 or T-34 • 4 Panzer IV & 1 Panzer IV HQ (deploy in or HQ (see special rule within one hex of E10) • 1 Wespe (deploy in hex J10) • 1 Ace (on any unit) • 1 Stuka Airstrike (Turn 4 only). Scenario Essentials Use Map E. The Soviets set up and move first. Victory Conditions The Soviets win a marginal victory by destroying 5 German armor units and the Wespe; they win a decisive victory by destroying 5 German armor units and the Wespe and control 2 Town hexes (E8 and I5) at the end of Turn 9. The Germans win a marginal victory by controlling the Town hex (I5) and not los- ing more than 5 armor units and the Wespe; they win a decisive victory if they control the Town hex (I5) and destroy 6 Soviet T-34s and not lose 5 of their own armor units and the Wespe. Special Rules Soviet Tank Riders: One Soviet Infantry unit can stack with a Soviet T-34. The stack (1 Infantry and 1 T-34) can activate with 1 AP and can be activated by an HQ unit. The stack can move at the speed of the T-34. While stacked with the T-34, the Infantry unit cannot attack. If a T-34 carrying an Infantry unit is attacked and destroyed, the Infantry unit is also destroyed. A stacked Infantry unit can dismount in an adjacent hex from the T-34 it is riding on after the T-34 has completed its move. The T-34 cannot move, unload and then move again. Infantry cannot re-mount (stack) with a tank unit once it has dismounted. PB.

The massive clashes at Stonne, Hannant, and Gembloux involved hundreds of tanks on both sides, yet have faded from memory due to the enormity of the French defeat. This book examines two of the premier opposing tanks of the Wehrmacht and the French Army, the German PzKpfw IV PANZER IV and the French Char B1 bis.

Iabsm Army Lists for Poland for the 1939 September War
GERMANY IABSM ARMY LISTS FOR POLAND FOR THE 1939 SEPTEMBER WAR FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH IABSM V3 1 Introduction from Richard Clarke’s IABSM v2 Blitzkrieg theatre supplement: After its stumbling start in Poland in 1939, where the growth pains of its rapid expansion from the Army of Versailles were only masked by its numerical superiority over the Poles, the German Army’s belief in its abilities was buoyed up by early successes. It emerged to be undoubtedly the best led and most professional force of the early war. In addition the Germans had also inherited the Prussian tradition of creating well-balanced forces, able to act independently at all levels. Since Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 the emphasis on a “Volk im Waffen”, people under arms, that permeated virtually all aspects of German society had done much to produce a generation both ready and keen for war. The emphasis on developing leadership and military skills in the Nazi youth organisations contributed to make the German Army of this period an efficient machine. Despite its strengths, however, the Wehrmacht was not the unbeatable force that German propaganda would have had us believe. Indeed it was the seizing, and then retention, of the strategic initiative that gave the Germans victory rather than any inherent tactical superiority. At the level we are concerned with the German Army was balanced in structure and with a glut of experienced leaders. The flexible approach to orders and task achievement encouraged these leaders to think for themselves and this paid a high dividend, both in terms of military results and the development of leadership and tactical skills.

A Re-Assessment of the German Armaments Production During World War Ii
113 A RE-ASSESSMENT OF THE GERMAN ARMAMENTS PRODUCTION DURING WORLD WAR II Ioannis-Dionysios Salavrakos 1 University of Athens Abstract The German armaments production during World War II (1939-1945) is a highly debatable issue. Many studies point out that it was a success story since the overall production increased in spite of the heavy Allied air bombing campaign during the period 1943-1945. Others point out that the size of the production could not balance the aggregate production of Britain, USA, and the USSR. This study points out that by the end of 1941 with the entry of the USSR and the US in the war Germany had to plan for two different types of war. One was a land war against the USSR and the second was a naval-air war against the Anglo-Saxon Powers (Britain and the USA). German industry did quite well with the first challenge (with the assistance of captured material and industrial power of occupied Europe) but failed in the naval-air war against the Anglo-Saxon Powers. 1. Introduction The German armaments production during World War II (1939-1945) is a highly debatable issue. The debate is focused on the following issues: The first is the volume of the production. Many economists and historians observe a high volume of production even under the constraint of allied bombing. Others hold the view that the production levels, for the most industrialized European power, were quite low and could not match the combined armaments production of Great Britain and USSR, let alone the considerable production of the United States.
