Death Ride Kursk: Totenkopf

Death Ride Kursk: Totenkopf is a large tactical World War II wargame in Grognard Simulations’ Death Ride Kursk series.

This volume focuses on the Totenkopf Division’s operations in the II SS Panzer Corps area during the Battle of Kursk, with scenarios beginning around the fighting on the Psel River and continuing through the drive toward Oboyan. It serves as the base game for this part of the Death Ride Kursk system.

The game operates at a very detailed tactical scale, with German units generally represented at platoon level and Red Army units at company level. Primary and secondary weapons, suppression, command and control, fire support, terrain, and open-ended turn execution all play a role in shaping the battlefield.

This is not a light introductory title. It is a serious Grognard Simulations box, built for players who want a deep, highly detailed treatment of tactical armored warfare at Kursk. In other words: yes, this one has the counter density you were promised.

Contents include: sixteen 11 x 17 inch map sections, ten counter and marker sheets, eleven scenario cards, order of battle and task organization charts, rules and supplement materials, extensive charts and tables, and three ten-sided dice.
