Project Kursk - the preview

A couple of weeks ago, we ran a "little" test game at our local club to try out some ideas of how to handle a game with so many vehicles involved. It went really well, and master of ceremonies, mr Eddie "the Fez" Turner set out some of the WIP forces for a couple of promo shots. I knocked a couple myself for use on the blog, but forgot to post them at the time! 

That's 20 panthers eddie's putting together to form the core of the axis forces. It's a pretty scary sight! Thankfully what's seen here is just a fraction of the soviet / allied forces, but even so! 

Here's the hobbybrush workbench as of a week or so ago. 

Listings change, as I may have to sell a few before the event, but there's more in the post as well to compensate! 

SOVIETS:

20  x t34/85 (inc 3 OT variants)

3  x T34/76

1 x IS2

1 x captured panther

2 x KV 1

2 x KV2

1 x KV8

1 x SU76

1 x SU85

1 x SU100

1 x SU122

2 x SU122/152

2 x captured hanomags, which will be towing 57mm AT guns

5 x universal carriers

3 x T26a

6 x T26b

3 x Kht26

1 x T70

3 x BA10m

1 x BA64

And a few jeeps, trucks and associated unarmed vehicles 

US allies:

10 x Sherman

3 x M3 half tracks, filled with as many bazooka teams as I can compile (anyone got spare zooks to trade?!?)

Germans: 

They're unlikely to get painted in time.... Ad frankly who cares? ;op 

So there's a bit to do...... Then there's infantry to match it.... But not specifically for this game thank god!
