"6mm Kursk game with M3 Grants" Topic

Greetings,
I finally got around to editing some pics of a 6mm IABSM game we played last month. I had some friends up from Florida and one of them was hoping to do a Russian Front game with his M3 Grants. So I threw together a smallish Kursk scenario involving a couple of companies of M3s with tank riders trying to recapture recently overrun village. The Germans had only some recce units and a battery of StuGs.
I wanted to recreate some of the rolling terrain that was in the southern section of the Citadel operation.

Agreed – that's a fantastic looking game! I'd also like to hear more about how you set up your terrain.

Thanks for the comments.
I've been doing games like this for years, so I have a load of assorted terrain bits to draw on.
I did a flickr set a couple of years ago that shows a lot of what I do to set up a table:

I have found that this is a cheap and very flexible way to do a variety of terrain types. Most of my games are run at a shop so they need to be easy to set up and take down. And I really encourage folks to try something similar to add some depth and dimension to their game table.

Beautiful shots – sounds like a great game

I always love seeing your games. Makes me want to play micro!
Great report, too.

I see your work on the GHQ site from time to time. Superb micro armor done in the way such games, in my humble opinion, were meant to be done. Congrats on another beautiful game Microbiggie!

Wow lots of tanks and they aren't bumper to bumper. The terrain looks great and really Russian .
