New to WDS and picked up Kursk ‘43 due to a lifelong interest in battle. Did play the introductory scenario and loaded up the big Southern Front - Full Battle to see if all the units were present.
Noted that Korps Raus (106 and 320 ID’s) was missing from the right flank.
Proceeded to click on every button that I could find to see if it was scheduled to appear latter the first day or if it was even in the game. Is Korps Raus in the game? I would have thought so. How do I check the game OOB and/or what units are scheduled to arrive during a scenario?
EDIT: Punctuation.

Kursk ‘43 OOB question?

Re: Kursk ‘43 OOB question?
Welcome to the games John! There are a couple of things you can do to look. First, you can use View - Find Units. You can then enter the unit name and click on search. Then you can click on a unit, and the map will jump to it. However, the search is very picky - it has to be an exact match, including case. In this case, I searched for just 106 which listed 106 Infanterie Div and its units, such as the HQ for it. I double clicked on the HQ and it jumped to that area.
You can also search in Info - Strength, which shows the OOB but is not searchable.
For Kursk, 106. ID is listed as a part of XI.AK, which is commanded by Raus. So they are there, but a bit hidden if you look directly for Korps Raus.

Alternatively you can go into the Kursk '43 folder and take a look at the OOB by using "pcoob.exe". Personally spent many hours looking through incredibly well researched OOBs from various games.

Perfect.
Thank you gentlemen!

I can tell you also that Korps Raus, named so, is part of the new Rumantsyev 43 game. The pcoob.exe file is a great tool.

Re: Kursk ‘43 OOB question?
As is the scenario editor. Fired that up and found KR making its appearance later (Day 2 IIRC) in the South Full Battle scenario. I hoped this might be the case as frankly there is no spot for them on the map at the start. 7 PzD is on the southern right map edge. As the Germans move the defenders north (they hope!) KR will make their presence known trying to cover the long flank.
