**In reality the thanks are spread over 1, 2 & 3 (or 5, 6 & 7) Kp. In order to fit numbers in to CD terms I've chosen to represent them as a pair of companies

 

Troop Quality

 

Most Soviets – Trained Morale 9

1st Tank Brigade – Experienced Morale 9

 

10 Panzer Division Tanks – Veteran Morale 9

10 Panzer Division Infantry – Experienced Morale 8

 

Notes

 

Tank strengths on both sides are accurate

 

The infantry strength in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade is accurate, the unit had recently been ordered restored to full strength by Stalin. Other infantry strengths are estimates, in the armoured units they are based on the tank strengths as infantry casualties are at least as high as tank casualties.

 

PaK-36 & PaK-38 both have one shot PzGr-40 (HVAP)
