It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

Love 'em! Although, I would say that the Fighter piece looks a little… stocky/balloonish? I would expect it to be a wee bit slimmer?

Actually, the I-16 looked very much like this sculp. It was kind of “bulky” for a fighter, which is why in the early stages of Barbarossa what few actually got into the air to try and stop the German onslaught were totally outclassed by the Luftwaffe fighters and thus sent crashing to the ground in flames. Much Soviet equipment was obsolete like this right at first but once they got over the shock and into the swing of things, they started designing and manufacturing much sleeker and competitive fighters.
The two engine plane sculp; is that the transport plane or the medium bomber?

Yeah, I remember seeing a little of them from my dvds on WW2, specifically the opening days of Barbarossa. They were relatively slow too. In one shot they showed an Me-109 pilot in the cockpit view as he chased and pumped bullets into an I-16 and actually passed it. You see him looking back trying to find the plane.
The two engine shown is the medium bomber.
Thanks. It looks cool. These will be available in both the OOB Maroon color and the Burgandy color of FMG’s Soviet Combat Dice?
-
Russian set will actually be done in 4 colors. G40 OOB (black-cherry color), maroon from Europe 41 (1999 ed), red for Communist Chinese, and plum (purple) for Spanish Republic. Of course, you can use the 4 colors any way you wish!
-
The SU2 looks good too.This will be a good set!
-
Hey Variable do you know if this is all the pieces? Is there going to be a infantry piece and artillery piece? Thanks for the info. BTW this looks like the best set so far.
