under sceners. We believe on the ground idealism of the root
of the real old school scene. We do all this for fun and
nothing else. We don't earn anything on our hobby, as we do
this for the competition and the heart of what got the scene
started in the mid eighties.

twice the fun   \/ double the trouble

On with the game release information:

Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943 is a completely new game in the
Theatre of War series of tactical World War II titles. It does
not require any of the previous games to play!

The Battle of Kursk lasted for forty nine days, from July 5
until August 23, 1943 and has made its way into history as one
of the most crucial conflicts of WWII. It was the last armored
strategic offensive the Germans were able to mount in the
east. The resulting decisive Soviet victory gave the Red Army
the strategic initiative for the rest of the war.

Assuming the role of either the Russian or German battle group
commander, acting under direct orders of division commanders
Ivan Chistyakov or Walter Hoernlein, players will control
their troops in historical scenarios on precisely
reconstructed authentic battlefields.

Five days of July

In Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943, you control the units of the
battle group belonging to German division Grossdeutschland or
the forces of the Soviet 67th Guards Rifle Division and 3rd
Mechanized Corps, which participated in the defensive stage of
the Kursk battle at the south face of the Kursk salient. There
are two campaigns û German and Soviet:

Fiery Salient  (forces of the Soviet 6th Guards and 1st Tank
Army, July 5-10, 1943)

Operation Citadel (German division Grossdeutschland
Kampfgruppe, July 5-10, 1943)

Each campaign consists of up to 9 major battles and puts you
in charge of a typical military unit from that period. Each
soldier is a unique personality with specific characteristics
and skills which can change during the campaign. Careful
planning and force selection are recommended before each
battle.

Take control over a powerful Soviet or German battle group in
one of the battles which changed the history of the war

Fully simulated visibility, ballistics and armor penetration
