They laid literally millions of mines and had entire city populations digging entrenchments. The German pincer on the northern flank made something like 12km before stalling out. The southern pincer made better progress, advancing over 50km before meeting the Soviets at Prokhorovka. It's a bit more of a maneuver battle once the Germans are through the outer defensive lines, but it's nothing like Barbarossa or Case Blue.<br /><br />The Americans and the British opened the war in Italy during Operation Zitadelle by invading Sicily, and that was the end of it.Doug Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782846735047080442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398141406477470157.post-52609630195781217462014-05-10T20:36:02.806-04:002014-05-10T20:36:02.806-04:00Doug it seemed to me from screenshots at game laun...Doug it seemed to me from screenshots at game launch that Kursk had an almost world war 1 feel. Lines of fortifications and in this case mines. And it sounds like from the post you think the same thing correct? Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330448155557009702noreply@blogger.com
