Hi Finlander! I know of one map for the Ardennes! On Blitzkrieg En Espanol site there is a map that CorpBob made called Ardennes Offensive! The map was made to run for [BH_RT] Hope this helped? It would be great to see one of your maps for this battle on kursk

I personally liked the maps about the Ardennes made for the Haglesturm mod.

In my Blitzkrieg Chapters section I have a WatchRhine.pak. I don't know who it is by. If it is the one I'm thinking of, it is 4-map chapter with an autumn setting, and starts with a small German force in a corner being bombed and shelled mercilessly. An almost impossible situation that bore no resemblance to the Ardennes offensive, which inspired me to try to create something more historically accurate for Blitzkrieg Revolution.
There is also something called Bulge_CCCP.rar that is 47,680 KB. I have no idea who did it or why it is so large or what it is about, never having tried it. Soviet forces intervene in the Battle of the Bulge? The Kursk "bulge?"
Then there is the old Wacht am Rhein.exe chapter for RT.
Why would you want Bulge chapters for Kursk? The equipment is wrong, the enemy is wrong and the season is wrong.

finlander:
- Ardennes offensive was in the winter, Kursk was in the summer; - Germans in Ardennes used some 1945 equipment and formations, Germans at Kursk used 1943 equipment and formations; - German opponent at Ardennes were Americans, at Kursk were Soviets.
If you are looking for Kursk-era chapters, I have: - Ostfront1942-43; - Oelfeld (I suspect this is 1942); plus I have about a dozen single missions I have identified for BK featuring Germans using 1943 equipment.
There are also several single missions for HeimatfronT that are dated 1943. You could strip out the HF equipment and replace it with other stuff, then perhaps form them into a chapter.

finlander: I have an idea of a chapter for MK. It's a shame, that the Operation Spring Awakening is rarely mentioned act of the war, although it was a big offensive took place after the battles in the Ardennes. Only Manhunter made a 4 missions chapter: VI SS Panzer Check out details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spring_Awakening

Some day I'll have to give Mission Kursk a serious try, but for now I ignore it as much as possible.
I would have thought most missions made for BK would be too small for MK.

@louis: Manhunter's maps are huge, perfect for MK and it' ranges. Anyway...you should try MK!

But first things first:" Until the final victory" chapter is allmost finnished, then if there are winter skins for US units in IF then manhunters battle of bulge..but if not, then 6th ss in balaton.
