The new histories show us that Kursk was not the blood letting for the
German Army that we were led to believe. The defensive battles after
Kursk are really where the Wehrmacht was steadily depleted of machines
and trained men. This add-on lets you game the Third Battle of Kharkov,
but also a few of the defensive battles going into early 1944.

Formations Grossdeutschland Division's Battle for Kharkov is an add-on
to the original very well received game. The included battles show the deterioration of the German Army's quality and quantity. The game covers scenarios that show German victory and defeat historically. The original game
was designed by Chad Jensen of Combat Commander game. This add-on was
done by Bryan R. VanNortwick. The units that are added to the base game
are:
- The Soviet SU-76M “Suka” open-topped assault gun;
- SU-85 tank destroyer;
- T-34C;
- T-26b light tank;
- The German Mk VI Tiger I
- PzIII M;
- 7.5cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun;
- Low quality troops representing GD artillerymen forced to fight on the front lines

This is a great addition to an already great game. Gamers have been clamoring for more in the series because it is so good. Hopefully we will see more Division battles start to show up as was originally planned. Thank you GMT Games for letting me review this product.
