Drive to Prokhorovka : Kursk Project Part 3

Above is the deployment map for Turn 1 of the Drive For Prokhorovka scenario.  The Guards Airborne regiments are frozen in place until they are attacked or 11 July 1943 AM (Turn 3).

I thought I would post the data I've gathered for this scenario.  Please feel free to evaluate my info and make comments in the Comments section of this post.

Here are the basic TO&E strengths I developed for the units involved during this period.  The most shocking thing is the weak tank strengths the Soviet tank brigades had.  Apparently, the Soviets didn't give their brigades the third tank battalion until after the Kursk campaign.  Bummer.
