Gregoire will be running his game: The Battle for Kursk/Engagement at Ponyri Station July
5th, 1943, 0900 hours ("Elephant Hunting") Situation: The 9th Army's attack
on the Kursk bulge from the north jumped off on the morning of July 6th, five of the six panzer divisions available in the
north were initially in reserve, so most of the heavy lifting of breaking the front fell to the infantry divisions, usually
reinforced with army-level independant armored units. On the left side of the main effort, the German 86th Infantry Division,
reinforced with a battalion of the new Elephant tank destoryers, drove south along the rail line to Ponyri
Station, and Kursk. Waiting for them were the elements of the 81st Rifle Division, and as the battle unfolded, additional
Soviet tanks and assault guns were fed in. "Command Decision IV-Test of Battle" rules in 1/72nd scale.
