Nice look in the box. Kursk should actually have the Panther ausf D but there isn't a plastic kit for it so Battlefront has used the A. The Panther ausf A missed Operation Citadel but made it to the Eastern Front later...

Great video guys, your channel has made me dive back into FoW head first after dropping it in V3 due to the awful Soviet rules. Also, your comment on rotate to face is a must, it makes such a difference when using forward firing tanks (and gun teams). It really opens up great flanking options, and balances out these units. Gun teams rotating often mean you can then escape their field of fire next turn. Skipping this step is just soft cheating 😂

Dang, if they haven't updated the points, at 100 points, the Su-85s at 4 tanks take you over by 14 points. Drop them down to 2, which you shouldn't due to morale/last stand and you can bring in some infantry or more Valentines. The Flamethrower Panzer 3 card is in the Panzer 3 (late) box & the rules are in Ghost Panzer/Eastern Front

I am doing two T34 battalion boxes. The treads don’t fit snug and I cheeked them forward and a pain when doing the fenders. The exhaust pieces suck gluing. And one box is a lighter plastic and a little translucent but parts like the exhaust don’t mount easily on the other bodies. And I’m halfway through 42 tanks but not thrilled with the model. Not that I can design a model. Overall I’ll live and we’ll have a 100+ Kursk game at HISTORICON 2024.

The t-34 is one of their oldest kits - if they ever start remaking some I think this is a strong candidate.

I always love the positivity of your videos lads. I've only been into FOW for a year now, but I think the Soviet faction is poorly designed and lacks quality and variety in the models range. I find even the free resin one I can print out being much better quality. It'd be nice to see you guys play a game with the combined units included in the two sets and see how that goes.

You definitely want at least one unit of infantry in Flames of War. Something to dig in on a home objective that is near impossible to shift if it just hunkers down. After that, some arty and some recon for forward deployment. Fom there, your golden.

having rcently purchased this box set I noticed that the art work shows 2 Valentines with 6pdr and one with 2 pdr . What would be the appropriate gun for Kursk ? would it better to have the 2 pdr and the Besa M/G than just a better penetration of the 6 pdr? thanks
@ModellingforAdvantage
@ModellingforAdvantage Год назад
Definitely the 6pdr is a better option in FoW, but then again, it is probably more points.

Looks like a great set but the Panthers and PZIV in Zimmerit appears to be a bit too early and it wasn't used till after the Kursk period and can find no evidence for it being widely used till after September 43.
