It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

I really like that R&D system.
Still in use, as a rule option, although the list has been changed and expanded. -

A bmp of the game board was provided, but it’s too low res to be useful. I asked if the full res version is available but didn’t get a response.
-
Ok i can help with that. I have PDF of all three games and the maps were enlarged and stitched together by employee at print shop. I was too lazy to complete the work, which amounted too fixing the borders.
This is worth the effort and another can perfect the work. I will upload them and they are all the 2005 maps

@Gentlegamer
If you have the system, you have it. I don’t have the material with me but here’s a cpl. examples of adjusting techs to the global system.
Super subs turned into Adv. torpedoes lvl.1 att +1 lvl.2 def +1.
Since no sub detection anymore, radar/ counter radar is now Adv. Destroyers and Adv. Subs that adjusts their pre-combat initiatives.
Airborne radar 1&2 allows bombers to strafe subs without destroyers and a +1 Sbr.
Was UK last time used, these were ones fresh in my mind.
Stay safe. -
I just received a higher res version of the game board, it is 2553 x 1661
-
Which version? Can you post link?

2005, 4th Edition
I really love this game board, it’s definitely my favorite of all the A&A variants.
It is based on the classic map and adds additional territories and sea zones without being excessively divided, geographically. The only issue is the size of some of the coastal sea zones.
The physical board itself produced by Xeno Games is a perfect size, slightly larger than classic, but small enough to find room on most tables.
