The finest German armies advanced upon the numerically superior and well-entrenched Red Army, and their might was shattered.

Kursk: The greatest tank battle the world has ever witnessed, is recreated with a highly detailed wargame-system that incorporates all the vital elements of the battle - from movement and attack modes to anti-tank units and artillery barrages, from air support to Soviet partisans and German Kampfgruppen.
