A Time For War!!!!

   Hello! As we stated before we have an interest in war gaming and enjoy collecting military miniatures . This weekend we are planning to hold a large miniature battle based on the 1943 battle of Kursk in eastern  Russia. This battle was the largest tank battle ever fought involving hundreds of tanks and thousands of infantry. On this battle field the two armies that clashed were the  Russian red army and the mighty German war machine. When the battle was over the Russians had won a great victory and the defeated German army would never again go on the offensive against the Russians

     Our battle however does not involve so many men and tanks but is still large enough. Our battle will involve almost 250 1/72 scale soldiers and 40 tanks plus various assorted assault vehicles such as halftracks, Mg jeeps, transport trucks and artillery pieces. We have done as much research as we can on the battle and weapons used. I am commanding   the German army leading my Panzers deep into Russian territory while my brother commands the red army who are trying to thwart my attacks. 

     When the battle is over I am going to post the results so you can fully understand the scale of the battle. So it’s off to the lead tank with all haste to see if we can change the course of history and the world…….
