Franko Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I'm doing the Prokhorovka battle, depicted in the painting. Recent scholarship suggests it was very, very different than that depicted in the famous Belgorod dirama: I just hope you all will like it.

laxx Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 with my untrained eye, my guess on the AFV are: - ferdinand on the centre-left, - behind the ferdinand is a t-34, dunno which model - dunno what afv on the right foreground with a prominent cuppola, looks like a panther ? - right background is a t-34 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligur Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I'm playing through the Stalingrad Pack ATM and having loads of fun. Can't wait, I hope the Kurks pack will feature lots of blood curling scenarios heavy on hot armor on armor action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 5 scenarios I've tested so far one features a Pz III, another has 2 Stugs and one more features 2 Halftracks, and that's about it. For the most part they are all small infantry-type scenarios of maybe a platoon or two total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not hard enough that he can't keep working on the project. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimorodok Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Mr Noobie. I don't know if you'd be interested but I was in Moscow in January and I visited the museum of the great patriotic war, anyway I took quite a few pics of the Dioramas there with my digital camera. I've got nowhere on the internet to post them but if you (or anyone else) is interested I can e-mail them to you. I'm not the worlds greatest photographer but they're OK. I would be glad to post them up on my site Ant. I have the room.
