Default Re: Has anyone been playing the new Kursk Campaign?

After digging around my library and the 'net it would appear September 1943 would be a more appropriate introduction date but as always, sources do not agree. Profile Publications #21 Su-85 / SU-100 says that there were 100 in service by the end of 1943 on the Dneiper and Ukrainian fronts. "Soviet tank units" only says " late 1943 " . Various online source suggest the first tanks reached their units in August but were not in combat until September giving the crews a month to learn how to use the vehicle so I have changed the start date for Russian Unit 33 to 9/43 from 6/43 and as a result, to keep the formation from breaking up, unit 318 has to stay in service a month longer than it does now.

Nothing is ever "simple"
