rules question

In the kursk book russian counter bombardment is that a 10" area or the entire greman front?( plan on using it in large game )
Also in a large game the germans with 2 groups can they each use 5 restricted units ( for example each using 5 ferdinands each?)
thanks

The counter-bombard is table-wide, not a small area.

That would depend, but we have found it best to treat the forces as 1 army, so they have to share restricted units, unique units etc... it takes more planning, but stops said abuses... which sort of defeats the point of the restrictions. In a 4 player game with 4 senior officers on the table for example. Surely somebody must be in charge here or are they doing it all by committee?
