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.
Nova Games - China & France expansion?
-
I’m looking at an auction for Chinese and French counters for the original A&A by Nova Games. I vaguely recall being under the impression that the pieces were made but the rules and set up charts were never completed. Does anybody know for sure about this? I don’t think I want to spend money on pieces I can’t play with.

For $50 you can buy one here:

The Question is does it come with rules and set up charts or just pieces?

I couldn’t find anything available on the internet. Maybe you could call and ask the people that are selling it.
-
I have the Nova Games version and two sheets of those counters. Rules/Setup was never released for them.

Why would somebody make expansion pieces and not provide rules? Did Larry make these?
-
Nova Games was the original publisher of Axis & Allies (before Milton Bradley). They went out of business, and these counters were made shortly before going out of business. Only Larry would know what rules were intended for these….

$50 for a page of cardboard tokens!?!?!

That’s because they are OOP and collector’s items, just like that Honus Wagner baseball card.
