Mark H. Walker's Lock ‘n Load: Dark July The Battles for Prochorovka   The Game Ships With:     One 22" x 34" heavy paper, historical map.   85 counters including PzIII Schurzen, Elephant, SS assault troops, and AT Mines.    Player's Aid Card, with expanded sequence of play and all terrain types found in Dark July.   FULL COLOR rules and scenario booklet. A significant improvement on the first edition. Includes the same six scenarios.   Dark July is an expansion. You must own Band of Heroes and Not One Step Back to play. Dark July depicts the battles fought west of Prochorovka between 10-12 July, 1943. The map/s covers the famed Hill 252.2, the Soviet trenchs to the east, and the Oktiabrski State Farm to the north. We won't make grandiose claims about their meter-to-meter accuracy, but believe they faithfully replicate the two kilometer by one kilometer rectangle.   The 22" x 34" map contains all the detail and beauty gamers have come to expect from Lock 'n Load Publishing. From the lengthy anti-tank ditch to the State Farm, its as nice to look at as it is fun to play on. Dark July includes new rules for anti-tank mines, low wheat, and much more.   Dark July is not a complete game. This is an expansion and requires Band of Heroes and Not One Step Back to play all six of its scenarios.      Scenarios Include:   Assault on Hill 252.2: Elements of the Liebstandarte Adolph Hitler (LAH) attack the 2nd Battalion of the 26th Guards Airborne Regiment.   Clear the Ditches: The SS attack the Soviet anti-tank ditches and trenches south of the State Farm.   Counterattack: Elements of the Soviet 29th Tank Corps attack the LAH.   Road to Prochorovka: The 26th Guards Airborne and 57th Heavy Tank Regiment interdict the LAH on the road to Prochorovka.   Secure the State Farm: The fight for the Oktiabrski State Farm.   An Elephant's Charge:  Wild battle between elements of the 508th Grenedier Regiment, Panzer-Jager-Abteilung 656 and the Soviet 307th Division.
