Scenario Description
For the III Panzer Corps to protect the right flank of the German armored spearheads, it needed to establish a bridgehead across the northern Donets River, southeast of Belgorod. Elements of the 6th Panzer Division, Panzer Grenadier Regiment 114, crossed the river to secure the opposite bank so division engineers could build a vital bridge that would enable the heavy Panzers to cross. Little did they know that a company of Soviets had infiltrated their defensive perimeter, intent on stopping the engineers.

Battle Narrative
The Battle of Kursk was a Second World War engagement between German and Soviet forces on the Eastern Front near Kursk in the Soviet Union, during July and August 1943. The battle began with the launch of the German offensive Operation Citadel, on 5 July, which had the objective of pinching off the Kursk salient with attacks on the base of the salient from north and south simultaneously. After the German offensive stalled on the northern side of the salient, on 12 July the Soviets commenced their Kursk Strategic Offensive Operation with the launch of Operation Kutuzov against the rear of the German forces in the northern side. On the southern side, the Soviets also launched powerful counterattacks the same day, one of which led to a large armoured clash, the Battle of Prokhorovka. On 3 August, the Soviets began the second phase of the Kursk Strategic Offensive Operation with the launch of Operation Polkovodets Rumyantsev against the German forces in the southern side of the Kursk salient.
