On 12 July the Luftwaffe and artillery units bombed the Soviet positions in the Kursk Pocket. The German advance started and they were astonished to see masses of Soviet armor advancing towards them. What followed was the largest tank engagement ever, with over 1,500 tanks in close contact. The air forces of both countries flew overhead, but they were unable to see anything through the dust and smoke pouring out from destroyed tanks. On the ground, commanders were unable to keep track of developments and the battle rapidly degenerated into an immense number of confused and bitter small-unit actions, often at close quarters. The fighting raged on all day, and by evening the last shots were being fired as the two sides disengaged. German losses amounted to over 300 tanks with the Soviets losing a similar number.In this Snapshot, we will attempt to recreate the fierce fighting in the Kursk Pocket


Changed it up somewhat.  
The Axis get Ostwinds, FW190a5 and JU-87
The Allies get the YAK9T and IL-2

Also, this is a SIX life event.  Whomever controlls V65 at the end of one hours is the winner!

GREAT Snapshot! MUCH fun!  I love these capture/hold 'em SnapShot's with GV's and Planes.

Phone y'er friends, tell your squaddies, warn your significant others, SnapShot is TONIGHT!

WOOOOT

Just 2b clear, that is in addition to the M3,M8 for both sides, panzer for axis, and t34 for the allies.
