Death Ride: Kursk - XLVIII Enhancement

From the Publisher: 

YOU NEED THE DEATH RIDE KURSK GROSS DEUTSCHLAND BASE GAME TO USE THIS PRODUCT!

The XLVIII PzK Enhancement package builds on the detail of the game system.  Those who own the original games will recognize some of the counters in this package as those from the Maintenance, Logistics, and Air Enhancements.  They have been bundled together similar to the ones from the IISS PzK Enhancement package.

Each game now includes the Command and Control and Fire Support Enhancements which mean you don’t need to buy this package in order to have detailed command and fire support operations if you want them.

The specific elements for Maintenance include the chart and track which determine at what level and how long it takes to repair a vehicular unit, and vehicle recovery units which are used to drag the wrecks back to where they need to be in order to have maintenance performed.

As for Logistics there are supply convoys and supply points.  This enhancement is only necessary for those wanting a more detailed picture of how long an organization can last without proper supply.  If you’re not playing a game that lasts more than 3 battle days it is not going to manifest its importance.

And lastly the Air enhancement that is likely the most enjoyable aspect of the package.  It allows you to explore the air campaign in a completely different light.  If you have a team you can make an air commander and that job alone will be lots of fun.

XLVIII Enhancement comes with (in Full Color):

Air Operations Charts

Logistics Charts

Maintenance Charts

600 Unit Counters and Markers

Reference (Gamers HQ):

Grognard Simulations is known for their detailed and fantastic rulesets and their attention to detail concerning the gaming material, but because of the way they produce their games, You can´t compare the quality of the boxes with it from big companies like GMT or Compass Games: They are only for holding the huge amount of material, but not as a piece of art by itself (they are made from thin cardboard). This games are, like the name of the company indicates, for "real Grognards !"

English Cardboard Enveloped Version.

Death Ride Kursk is the most ambitious project GSI has undertaken.  The project is a series of monster games encompassing the entire southern front of the Kursk operation.  The series is broken down into 3 separate and distinct sub-sets of 3 games each.  That means the total series is comprised of 9 games.  Each game has a different number of maps and focuses on a different German Division.  The 3 sets are broken down into the 3 different Korps Areas of Operation (XLVIII PzK, IISS PzK, and III PzK).  The image states "The Monster Game of Monsters".  What this means is that each game in the series is a monster game of its own.  Putting them all together, and you can, is a Monster Game of Monster Games.

Each Game Set has a Base Game that includes the rules, charts, and other game system components that you will need to play the game.  The other games in the Game Set are expansions and need the Base Game to be played.
