I finally got the chance to look through the box. I noticed the units and leaders are thicker than the other game. And I liked the line across the reduced strength side to difference that.
I just went to add this to my collection here and noticed it's not listed but Liberation 44 that came out after this is?
Burning Tigers was actually released well after Liberation 44.
Liberation counters, at least the first batch, includes even thicker counters than Burning Tigers (1/8" vs 1/10").
I was looking at my counters and found what I believe to be a glaring omission. Where is the Su-152?

I could be wrong but I think they were used more in the counter-offensive after July 13th, which is far in date as either South Flank or Burning Tigers go.
According to Glantz and House in "The Battle of Kursk" there were 9 regiments of SU-152's in the operational area on 7/1/43.
I don't have it in front of me but look for a JSU-152.
That is in Road to Berlin. The JSU (or ISU) 122/152 were more than a year after Kursk.
Sorry, I thought you meant that you couldn't find the counter in the set, not that it should have been there. Which units were the SU-152s assigned to?
This is from "The Battle of Kursk," Glantz & House, University of Kansas Press, 1999, pgs 290-335.
The Orel Axis
Western Front
50th Army
1536th Self-propelled Artillery Regiment (152mm) [There all titled that way so for the rest just giving unit numbers.]
11th Guards Army
1453rd
Briansk Front
1444th
1445th
1535th
3rd Army
1538th
The Orel-Kursk Axis
Central Front
1541st
13th Army
1442nd
48th Army
1540th
The Belgorod-Oboian'-Kursk Axis
Voronezh Front
7th Guards Army
24th Guards Rifle Corps
1529th "(from RVK in July)" [Appears twice under this Front so not clear when fought.]
In Reserves so probably not part of the first phase fighting.
1831st
1st Guards
1545th [Does not give vehicle type so might not be one.]
1829th [Has "Heavy..." in front of the designation.]
Though these are titled "Regiments" in fact they were more like large companies or small battalions.
