As the 1st tank group attack on Rostov-on-Don may be more interesting than First Kharkov (there only enough fighters to support one force, and a combined arms operation on Rostov is more interesting than advance on Kharkov with only infantry, and Rostov is one of my favorite flak operations) there could be some changes in the campaign:

After Kiev the 1st panzer group is sent to Melitopol, then the 11th Army takes Crimea ad then the 1st Panzer group takes Rostov and prepares for spending the winter in the new positions. At that moment, the Soviets have formed enough forces to launch a winter counterattack. Even if some Soviet divisions have the same numbers as the ones destroyed in the first Rostov scenario, that is just because the Soviets saved the division flag - if the division flag did not fall in the hands of Germans, the Soviets could form another division with the same number. So there is a winter counterattack (need to see which scenario works better). If Germany holds Rostov in winter 1941 there is no Rostov 1942 as the city was already taken. Or do they need to pull back because the enemies are too many and it is better only to lose the territory and keep the units, and come back next year? Or AG South finds enough infantry divisions to support the Rostov sector? (as in the "Feldzug" book of maps published in the US as a digital version)

The scenarios of 1942 do not see so many upgrades: the divisions with Pz IIIH or J can be upgraded to Pz IIIL that would give them better attack values. Late in 1942 the Army could receive a Tiger regiment but the crews are new and have 0 experience, unless you have enough resources to upgrade veterans to a Tiger unit (assuming they had enough time to train with Tigers, and then you need to form another Pz IIIL division with recruits; if you think it is worth the cost and time.) The first Fw190 arrive to the Eastern front (need to see when and to which fighter division). PzIV can keep their short 75 mm barrels in 1942 if they will be used mainly in anti-infantry role supported by PzIIIL; StuGIII units will see new machines with longer guns, and the first Marder antitank guns are also available.

Zitadelle in 1943 sees 2 battalions (or you may call it 1 regiment) of Panthers, the same Tiger regiment and 2 battalions or 1 regiment in the North, near Ponyri (there is a Kursk North map for the Soviet counterattack). Artillery receives Nebelwerfer 1942 and the 4 Nebelwerfer brigades formed in 1941 just needs to be rearmed with the 1942 version; some units of Wespe, Nashorn and Hummel; the air force now has Bf 109G6, Fw190 and Bf110F in its fighter force and the new versions of He111 in the bomber brigades. The 88 mm flaks are still the best anti-air weapons, and the light flaks can be mounted on halftracks, improving the protection of the ground forces.

PzIV after the long 75 mm gun becomes the best mass produced ''antitank tank'' while PzIIIN with the short 75 mm now becomes the best ''infantry tank'' although it is now obsolete in antitank role.

Even if the campaign ends in 1943 with successful Zitadelle it if far from lost. There the historical scenarios end. The campaign may as well end with successful Zitadelle and optimism in debriefing.
