III Panzer Korps:  This game is the Base Game for the AD Kempf Game Set.  Scenarios for this game start on 4 July and through 13 July when they failed to meet up with the IISS Panzer Korps at Prokhorovka.

In developing this game set I originally planned to create 3 games and the enhancement.  After considerable deliberation I decided to make only 2 games and an enhancement.  Inside this base game is going to be a consderably larger amount of material than in past base games.  The reason is that there are 4 full German Divisions involved and all in one game.  That makes this a 2 box set.  It will be very worth it though with all those units inside.

III Panzer Korps - Base Game - comes with (in Full Color):

(34) Map Sections of the Donets River Area of Operations

(10) Scenario Cards

Order of Battle Cards

Task Organization Cards

5000+ 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 Boxed 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.
