6mm Kursk – Building up for Operation Citadel


It has been months since my last update. Here’s the first of many (hopefully) on the same topic.
So we decided quite a while back to play a Flames of War Kursk campaign in 6mm, with the obvious intention of developing the campaign into a tank battle of gigantic proportions (in points terms rather than in physical terms).

I and my gaming comrade in this undertaking are building up the forces that will soon be rolling across the not-so-broad expanse of the steppes.
I’m putting together the German forces for the most part, but I’ve also got a bunch of Soviet miniatures to help my comrade out.

I think we’ll try the Axis of Attack Kursk campaign initially: http://www.flamesofwar.com/?tabid=109&art_id=308. My intention is to eventually play a Total War mission with some real masses.
