Don't sell the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of Berlin short. Those were two very big and well known battles with far more scope for German armour like Tigers and Panthers (and King Tigers in Berlin). Anti-tank armour (jagdpanzer, jagdpanther) and mobile artillery (Elefant, Hummel, Wespe) were thre too. Most of the iconic German armour was not yet in the field when Stalingrad took place. If I was going to do an Eastern Front range, I would start with Kursk.

I'm certainly not selling them short, Yes they were of course huge battles, uou and I know that but perhaps your average Joe collector who is not a big history fan may not appreciate that. Whilst many collectors will know of Stalingrad it's perfectly possible it's not the same with Kursk.

I think focusing on the eastern battles allows scope for many unreleased variants of captured AFV's and german armour. Maybe, its the russian stuff that slows down this range as everything related to the east that K&C has done have been good sellers cossacks, Tiger 1 to name a few. stalingrad don't give IMO much scope for armour Panzer III, Tiger 1, (leningrad) so, as has been said after Kursk the whole arsenal is available.
