As luck would have it, I saw an advertisement for a brand new book by Christopher A. I also had The Battle of the Tanks: Kursk, 1943 by Lloyd Clark (2).

My library was almost as bare as my game shelf! I had the 1978 printing of the 1956 Panzer Battles by Maj. To better prepare myself for the game I turned to my in-house library to do a bit of some research. So much so that I ordered the new Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel – Kursk 1943 3rd Edition (forthcoming in 2019). A few years back I picked up another Eastern Front game, Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear, Operation Barbarossa 1941 (Academy Games, 2012) and fell in love with that game. Today in 2019 I still like Panzer, and especially love the GMT Games Second Edition even more. This is a bit surprising since my very first wargame ever was Jim Day’s Panzer (First Edition) from Yaquinto publishing in 1979. If I have a World War II land combat game it probably is the Western Desert or the Western Front. I have a few Eastern Front wargames, but most of my historical games are actually naval or air combat. I HAVE BEEN WARGAMING SINCE 1979 but I have to admit that the Eastern Front of World War II is not really my thing.
